Lyrics Stop the Violence - Boogie Down Productions
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
