Stop The Violence Lyrics

    Worldwide bdp are the freshest!
    Worldwide! worldwide! worldwide!

    One two three, the crew is called bdp
    And if you want to go to the tip top
    Stop the violence in hip-hop, y-o

    Time and time again, as i pick up the pen
    As my thoughts emerge, these are those words
    I glance at the paper to know what's going on
    Someone's doing wrong, the story goes on
    Mary lue's had a baby someone else decapitated
    The drama of the world shouldn't keep us so frustrated
    I look, but it doesn't coincide with my books
    Social studies when i speak upon political crooks
    It's just the presidents, and all the money they spent
    All the things they invent and how the house is so immaculate
    They paid missiles, my family's eating gristle
    Then they get upset when the press blows the whistle
    Of course the main profiles are kept low
    You temper with some jobs, now the press is controlled
    Not only newspapers, but every single station
    You only get to hear the president is on vacation
    But ehrm, stay calm, there's no need for alarm
    You say "go back" to your mom, and you're off to vietnam
    You shoot to kill, come back and you're a veteran
    But how many veterans are out there pedaling?
    There's no telling, 'cause they continue selling
    As quiet as it's kept, i won't go into depth
    You can talk about nigeria, people used to laugh at ya.
    Now i take a look, i say "usa for africa?!"

    Huh.
    What's the solution, to stop all this confusion?
    Rewrite the constitution, change the drug which you're using
    Rewrite the constitution or the emancipation proclamation
    We fight inflation, yet the president's still on vacation

    Bdp posse!
    I say: one two three, the crew is called bdp
    And if you wanna go to the tip top
    Stop the violence in the hip-hop, y-o

    This might sound a little strange to you
    Well here's the reason i came to you
    We gotta put our heads together, and stop the violence
    Cause real bad boys move in silence
    When you're in a club, you come to chill out
    Not watch someones blood just spill out
    That's what these other people want to see
    Another race fight endlessly
    You know we're being watched, you know we're being seen
    Some wish to destroy this scene called hip-hop
    But i won't drop
    Not i or scott larock
    Now here is the message that we bring today:
    Hip-hop will surely decay
    If we as a people don't stand up and say:
    "stop the violence!"
    "stop the violence!"
    "stop the violence!"
    "stop the violence!"
    "stop the violence!"

    I say: one two three, the crew is called bdp
    And if you wanna go to the tip top
    Stop the violence in the hip-hop, y-o

    Bdp and me
    We step into the party top celebrity
    Say when we're coming to dance, we never have to pay a fee
    Cause that's where we got r-e-s-p-e-c-t
    I have this one wife, her name is miss melody
    I know i'm from the bronx, she from the brooklyn posse
    I tell ya look a little like this, then i tell you some that i
    Sometimes i got my gear on, sometimes i wear a hat
    Sometimes i'm in a mercedes and sometimes i'm in a plain
    Sometimes i find myself upon the number two train
    Some people look at me and see negativity
    Some people look at me and see positivity
    But when i see myself i see creativity
    So if i can create, well then i make some money
    Sha man, just put your hands up if you're out here gettin' paid
    Sha man, just put your hands up if you're out here gettin' paid
    One two three, the crew is called bdp
    And if you wanna go to the tip top
    Stop the violence in the hip-hop, y-o
