Stop the Violence

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
