Stop The Violence Lyrics - Busta Rhymes

Worldwide B.D.P. are the freshest 

Worldwide, worldwide, worldwide 

One, two, three, the crew is called B.D.P. 

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 U.S.A. for Africa? 

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 

B.D.P. posse I say "One two three, the crew is called B.D.P. 

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 B.D.P. 

And if you wanna go to the tip top 

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

B.D.P. 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 plane 

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 B.D.P. 

And if you wanna go to the tip top 

stop the violence in the hip-hop, Y O
