Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Non-violence
Stop the violence
Stop the violence
[Verse 2]
If the prisons and the drugs don't get us
Bullets will rid us of the disfranchised
Money and lies
Pulling wool over eyes
We flocking the sheep
Only choice is stay woke
Or eternally sleep
Families weep and grieve for the ones that was lost
And the law raping your counties just to tally the cost
Politicians line the pockets when they fill up the jails
Watch the judge get complicit
That's how evil prevails
Flag sails for the pirates doing white collar crime
Stole millions, got convicted, never did any time
March on to the beat of this drum
No matter the breaks it seems we still can't escape this slum
I'm on a tune more spiritual
Scratch off the serial, blood-stained the block on the streets of imperials
Justice is rarely found anywhere in this town
So we pulling out stops to shut em down
It's all wound tighter than the rattlesnake's coil
Ain't no telling what could happen when the blood starts to boil
Till your boots stained royal, we dying for change
Seen the corner get sprayed for debts in dice games
The same grimy hands count the blood money
Can't launder the cash the funds is too crumby
We all stuck deep in this dirt
Can we get out from under feeling this hurt?
[Verse 3]
When the streets stay popping
And the kids still dropping
Let's pause for a minute and just stop the violence
When the feds come knocking and you hear the gun cocking
Everybody lemme hear ya let's stop the violence
When the streets stay popping
And the kids still dropping
Let's pause for a minute and just stop the violence
When the cops come through with their hands on their guns
And the youth wanna run, let's stop the violence
When the streets stay popping
And the kids still dropping
Let's pause for a minute and just stop the violence
When the feds come knocking and you hear the gun cocking
Everybody lemme hear ya let's stop the violence
[Verse 4]
We must change the system
We must change the system
For it is the only way we can change the system
Please let me stay non-violent
It seems to get worse when we hear them sirens
Police showing up, before we speak they firing
Really no surprise when it's thugs they hiring
Excuse me if I struck some nerves
Seeing that badge ain't really here to protect and serve
Some are good, some are bad, some are skimming our bags
Others scheming on partners turn our riches to rags
Toe tags get tallied from Tallahassee to Cali
It's the peace in the valley and dealing dope in the alleys
See, this is rot and gritty, the product is nothing pretty
The situation is shitty, they plotting, don't snatch the kitty
And they ran away, outta this game
Parents matriculated the status till they treat us the same
When it rains, then it pours, always gunning for yours
Them boys is more than thick like glass in liquor stores
And chicken shacks in hoods pushing poisonous goods
When they really ain't enough to give the breath that you could
Who had to die for the prize?
Too many deceased for pushing peace
See the hate in they eyes?
Wise up, before the system decides your time's up
Had enough of them holding us down, let's rise up
And that's word to my G's because we moving in silence
Put them fingers down and put and end to the violence
[Verse 5]
When the streets stay popping
And the kids still dropping
Let's pause for a minute and just stop the violence
When the feds come knocking and you hear the gun cocking
Everybody lemme hear ya, let's stop the violence
When the streets stay popping
And the kids still dropping
Let's pause for a minute and just stop the violence
When the cops come through with their hands on their guns
And the youth wanna run, let's stop the violence
When the streets stay popping
And the kids still dropping
Let's pause for a minute and just stop the violence
When the feds come knocking and you hear the gun cocking
Everybody lemme hear ya, let's stop the violence
When the streets stay popping
And the kids still dropping
Let's pause for a minute and just stop the violence
When the feds come knocking and you hear the gun cocking
Everybody lemme hear ya, let's stop the violence
