Stop the Violence

Worldwide BDP are the freshest

Worldwide, worldwide, worldwide

Worldwide, worldwide

1, 2, 3, the crew is called BDP

And if you wanna 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 create missiles, while families eat gristle

Then they get upset when the press blows the whistle

Phone calls are made profiles are kept low

You tamper 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, um, stay calm, there's no need for alarm

You say "Goodbye" 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 pedalling?

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 in 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, 1, 2, 3, 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 someone's 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

Well 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, 1, 2, 3, the crew is called BDP

And if you wanna go to the tip-top

Stop the violence in the hip-hop, Y-O

Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop

BDP and me

We step into the party, top celebrity

Say when we come in the dance, we never have to pay a fee

'Cause that's 'cause we got got R-E-S-P-E-C-T

I have this one wife, her name is Miss Melody

Although I'm from the Bronx, she from the Brooklyn posse

I'll tell y'all likkle a dis and then I tell you some a dat

Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I wear a hat

Sometimes I'm in a Mercedes and sometimes I'm in a plane

Sometimes I find myself upon the number 2 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

Jah man, just push your hands up if you're out here gettin' paid

Jah man, just push your hands up if you're out here gettin' paid

Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop

1, 2, 3, the crew is called BDP (Peace up)

And if you wanna go to the tip top

Stop the violence in the hip-hop, Y-O

(Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop)

(B-b-b-bop, bop, bop)

Peace-up, BDP posse rule everytime zeen and sekkle

(Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop)
