Krs One - Stop The Violence lyrics
rate meWorldwide B.D.P. are the freshest<br />
Worldwide, worldwide, worldwide<br />
<br />
One, two, three, the crew is called B.D.P.<br />
And if you want to go to the tip top<br />
Stop the violence in hip-hop, Y O<br />
<br />
Time and time again, as I pick up the pen<br />
As my thoughts emerge, these are those words<br />
I glance at the paper to know what's going on<br />
Someone's doing wrong, the story goes on<br />
Mary Lue's had a baby someone else decapitated<br />
The drama of the world shouldn't keep us so frustrated<br />
I look, but it doesn't coincide with my books<br />
Social studies when I speak upon political crooks<br />
It's just the presidents, and all the money they spent<br />
All the things they invent and how the house is so immaculate<br />
<br />
They paid missiles, my family's eating gristle<br />
Then they get upset when the press blows the whistle<br />
Of course the main profiles are kept low<br />
You temper with some jobs, now the press is controlled<br />
Not only newspapers, but every single station<br />
You only get to hear the president is on vacation<br />
But ehrm, stay calm, there's no need for alarm<br />
You say go back to your mom, and you're off to Vietnam<br />
You shoot to kill, come back and you're a veteran<br />
<br />
But how many veterans are out there pedaling?<br />
There's no telling, 'cause they continue selling<br />
As quiet as it's kept, I won't go into depth<br />
You can talk about Nigeria, people used to laugh at ya<br />
Now I take a look, I say U.S.A. for Africa?<br />
<br />
What's the solution, to stop all this confusion?<br />
Rewrite the constitution, change the drug which you're using<br />
Rewrite the constitution or the emancipation, proclamation<br />
We fight inflation, yet the president's still on vacation<br />
<br />
B.D.P. posse I say "One two three, the crew is called B.D.P.<br />
And if you wanna go to the tip top<br />
Stop the violence in the hip-hop, Y O"<br />
<br />
This might sound a little strange to you<br />
Well here's the reason I came to you<br />
We gotta put our heads together, and stop the violence<br />
'Cause real bad boys move in silence<br />
When you're in a club, you come to chill out<br />
Not watch someones blood just spill out<br />
That's what these other people want to see<br />
Another race fight endlessly<br />
You know we're being watched, you know we're being seen<br />
<br />
Some wish to destroy this scene called hip-hop<br />
But I won't drop not I or Scott LaRock<br />
Now here is the message that we bring today<br />
Hip-hop will surely decay<br />
If we as a people don't stand up and say<br />
Stop the violence, stop the violence<br />
Stop the violence, stop the violence<br />
Stop the violence<br />
<br />
I say, "One two three, the crew is called B.D.P.<br />
And if you wanna go to the tip top<br />
Stop the violence in the hip-hop, Y O"<br />
<br />
B.D.P. and me we step into the party top celebrity<br />
Say when we're coming to dance, we never have to pay a fee<br />
'Cause that's where we got R E S P E C T<br />
I have this one wife, her name is Miss Melody<br />
I know I'm from the Bronx, she from the Brooklyn posse<br />
I tell ya look a little like this, then I tell you some that I<br />
Sometimes I got my gear on, sometimes I wear a hat<br />
Sometimes I'm in a Mercedes and sometimes I'm in a plane<br />
Sometimes I find myself upon the number two train<br />
<br />
Some people look at me and see negativity<br />
Some people look at me and see positivity<br />
But when I see myself I see creativity<br />
So if I can create, well then I make some money<br />
Sha man, just put your hands up if you're out here gettin' paid<br />
Sha man, just put your hands up if you're out here gettin' paid<br />
<br />
One, two, three, the crew is called B.D.P.<br />
And if you wanna go to the tip top<br />
stop the violence in the hip-hop, Y O<br /><br />
