Boogie Down Productions - Stop The Violence Lyrics
Worldwide bdp are the freshest!Worldwide! worldwide! worldwide!One two three, the crew is called bdpAnd if you want to go to the tip topStop the violence in hip-hop, y-oTime and time again, as I pick up the penAs my thoughts emerge, these are those wordsI glance at the paper to know whats going onSomeones doing wrong, the story goes onMary lues had a baby someone else decapitatedThe drama of the world shouldnt keep us so frustratedI look, but it doesnt coincide with my booksSocial studies when I speak upon political crooksIts just the presidents, and all the money they spentAll the things they invent and how the house is so immaculateThey paid missiles, my familys eating gristleThen they get upset when the press blows the whistleOf course the main profiles are kept lowYou temper with some jobs, now the press is controlledNot only newspapers, but every single stationYou only get to hear the president is on vacationBut ehrm, stay calm, theres no need for alarmYou say go back to your mom, and youre off to vietnamYou shoot to kill, come back and youre a veteranBut how many veterans are out there pedaling?Theres no telling, cause they continue sellingAs quiet as its kept, I wont go into depthYou can talk about nigeria, people used to laugh at ya.Now I take a look, I say usa for africa? !Huh.Whats the solution, to stop all this confusion?Rewrite the constitution, change the drug which youre usingRewrite the constitution or the emancipation proclamationWe fight inflation, yet the presidents still on vacationBdp posse!I say: one two three, the crew is called bdpAnd if you wanna go to the tip topStop the violence in the hip-hop, y-oThis might sound a little strange to youWell heres the reason I came to youWe gotta put our heads together, and stop the violenceCause real bad boys move in silenceWhen youre in a club, you come to chill outNot watch someones blood just spill outThats what these other people want to seeAnother race fight endlesslyYou know were being watched, you know were being seenSome wish to destroy this scene called hip-hopBut I wont dropNot I or scott larockNow here is the message that we bring today:Hip-hop will surely decayIf we as a people dont 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 bdpAnd if you wanna go to the tip topStop the violence in the hip-hop, y-oBdp and meWe step into the party top celebritySay when were coming to dance, we never have to pay a feeCause thats where we got r-e-s-p-e-c-tI have this one wife, her name is miss melodyI know Im from the bronx, she from the brooklyn posseI tell ya look a little like this, then I tell you some that iSometimes I got my gear on, sometimes I wear a hatSometimes Im in a mercedes and sometimes Im in a plainSometimes I find myself upon the number two trainSome people look at me and see negativitySome people look at me and see positivityBut when I see myself I see creativitySo if I can create, well then I make some moneySha man, just put your hands up if youre out here gettin paidSha man, just put your hands up if youre out here gettin paidOne two three, the crew is called bdpAnd if you wanna go to the tip topStop the violence in the hip-hop, y-o
