Bed Peace Lyrics

Wake up, wake up
Gotta get this paper, get this cake up
Gotta do my hair, gotta put on makeup
Gotta act like I care about this fake stuff
Straight up what a waste of my day
If I had it my way I'd roll out of bed
Say bout 2:30 mid day
Hit the blunt then, hit you up to come over to my place
You show up right away
We make love then and then we fuck
And then you'd give me my space
Hey

What I am trying to say is
The love is ours to make so we should make it
Everything else can wait
The time is ours to take so we should take it

Wake up, wake up, bake up
Gotta heat the vape up
Lets get faded
Gotta call your job tell em' you won't make it
Ain't nobody here baby lets get wasted
We should just get naked
'Cause I be working hard and I know you be on that same shit
Every other day's a different game that you just can't win
I just want to ease your mind and make you feel all right
So go head tell your baby mama you gon be with me tonight
Right

What I am trying to say is
The love is ours to make, so we should make it
Everything else can wait
The time is ours to take so we should take it

It's not love, but it's pretty close
Hot fudge and a little smoke
I didn't mean it means nothing to you
Hands locked on my black couch with nothing to do
Can't stop on cloud 20
Buried in the drugs, but the feels keeps coming
Finally stop crying, but your nose is still running
Wipe it on my shirt, haha I need sleep
You tell me that you wanna do it big
I love it when you say "guess what?" (What? What?)
Reading stories to some other nigga kid
And I wonder why I'm all messed up (up up up up)
'Cause we gotta be responsible sometimes
Being a class act nevermind my alumni
I don't wanna be a round a baby so dumb high
I don't see the beauty of a momma on insides
Curled up with my head on your chest
It's the best remedy for the pain and the stress
If the world doesn't change then we'll never get dressed
It will be like this to the kiss of the death
Of my soul, bowl of the blue dream, no
Not a good team, once soul, two halves
No joke, who laughs?
Just us (Just us, just us)

Okay, got this OJ and Jose
Mixed it up with that Rose
We gon' do this our own way
Alright, okay
What is it that your smoking?
Piece it up with this peace and love
And this peace and love like the old days

What I am trying to say is
The love is ours to make so we should make it
Everything else can wait
The time is ours to take so we should take it

We should stay right here
We should lay right here
'Cause everything is okay right here
You should stay right here
We should lay right here
'Cause everything is okay right here

Bed Peace

Los Angeles R&B singer songwriter Jhené Aiko began her career contributing backing vocals to recordings by the R&B boy band B2K. Her debut mixtape Sailing Soul, which was self-released in 2011, got her noticed and Aiko gained further attention after contributions to Big Sean's Hall Of Fame track "Beware" and Drake's Nothing Was The Same cuts, "From Time" and "Wu-Tang Forever." This was released as the lead single from Aiko's debut EP, Sail Out after she signed to Def Jam. "Sail Out basically means to be free," Aiko explained. "Go with the wind, you know, like a sailboat. I think that's really important when it comes to peace… inner peace especially. You can't help anyone else if you don't have it together for yourself."

The song features Childish Gambino, who combines rapping with writing for television, performing with his sketch group Derrick Comedy and acting on the NBC comedy Community under his real name of Donald Glover.

The single's artwork and video was inspired by John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1969 Bed-Ins for Peace protest against the Vietnam War. The clip finds Aiko and Gambino lying in bed in a Los Angeles hotel room while reporters interview them. They're both clad in all-white like Lennon and Ono's original protest. Aiko explained that it was her experience growing up in LA, which inspired her to advocate a movement for peace. "I grew up in LA, and there was a lot of stuff going on all the time," she stated. I've always been around noise and chaos."

Sail Out cruised to #8 on the Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart in its first week, making the record Def Jam Records' biggest-ever EP debut.

The song represents the fun and irresponsible side of Jhené Aiko. "When I wrote 'Bed Peace,' I knew that I wanted to make something more playful because I usually make sad songs about heartbreak," she told Radio.com . "So on this song, I took a different approach and decided to talk about what a perfect day would be like for me and a perfect lover. The song is all about slowing down every now and then and not worrying about anything but the moment."
