A song about resilience, choosing your battles and protecting a peace that took time to build. 🌿 ABOUT THE SONG From a sharp remark at the market to a late night call from a brother, peace becomes a choice made in ordinary moments. Some things deserve your strength. Others only ask you to burn it away. 🎧 TRACK 05 OF 07 Album: Grounded and Free Listen to more Wild Roots:    / @wildrootsreggae   Subscribe to follow the seven songs before the complete album. 📝 LYRICS [Intro] [Verse 1] A man at the market said something last week about me and my people, and half the street heard. My fist knew the answer before I could speak, I stood there and counted and swallowed the word. [Chorus] This is the peace I had to learn, it didn't come free and it didn't come young. Every calm I've got, I had to earn, one held tongue at a time, one held tongue. [Verse 2] My brother still calls at eleven at night to tell me who wronged him and how it will end. I used to pick up and go looking for the fight; now I listen, then tell him to let it lie, friend. [Chorus] This is the peace I had to learn, it didn't come free and it didn't come young. Every calm I've got, I had to earn, one held tongue at a time, one held tongue. [Bridge] Some fights are worth every bone in your hand, the roof on a mother, a kid in the street. The rest are just matches that somebody strikes to see if you'll burn up the ground at your feet. [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] This is the peace I had to learn, it didn't come free and it didn't come young. Every calm I've got, I had to earn, and nobody's taking it back, not one. [Outro] One held tongue at a time... This is the peace I had to learn. 🎵 Original music developed with AI tools and human creative direction. #WildRoots #RootsReggae #ConsciousReggae
