Someone's doing wrong, the story goes on
It's just the presidents, and all the money they spent
One, two, three, the crew is called B.D.P.
Then they get upset when the press blows the whistle
You shoot to kill, come back and you're a veteran
B.D.P. posse I say "One two three, the crew is called B.D.P.
I tell ya look a little like this, then I tell you some that I
Not watch someones blood just spill out
We gotta put our heads together, and stop the violence
Rewrite the constitution or the emancipation, proclamation
Rewrite the constitution, change the drug which you're using
And if you wanna go to the tip top
You only get to hear the president is on vacation
One, two, three, the crew is called B.D.P.
I glance at the paper to know what's going on
All the things they invent and how the house is so immaculate
That's what these other people want to see
Sha man, just put your hands up if you're out here gettin' paid
What's the solution, to stop all this confusion?
Some wish to destroy this scene called hip-hop
As quiet as it's kept, I won't go into depth
And if you wanna go to the tip top
When you're in a club, you come to chill out
You temper with some jobs, now the press is controlled
And if you wanna go to the tip top
Now here is the message that we bring today
'Cause that's where we got R E S P E C T
Sha man, just put your hands up if you're out here gettin' paid
Mary Lue's had a baby someone else decapitated
I have this one wife, her name is Miss Melody
Some people look at me and see negativity
Sometimes I got my gear on, sometimes I wear a hat
But I won't drop not I or Scott LaRock
Not only newspapers, but every single station
But when I see myself I see creativity
Stop the violence
So if I can create, well then I make some money
Stop the violence, stop the violence
Sometimes I find myself upon the number two train
But how many veterans are out there pedaling?
Another race fight endlessly
Say when we're coming to dance, we never have to pay a fee
Stop the violence in the hip-hop, Y O"
There's no telling, 'cause they continue selling
Stop the violence in the hip-hop, Y O"
Stop the violence, stop the violence
Social studies when I speak upon political crooks
You know we're being watched, you know we're being seen
Of course the main profiles are kept low
Sometimes I'm in a Mercedes and sometimes I'm in a plane
'Cause real bad boys move in silence
B.D.P. and me we step into the party top celebrity
You can talk about Nigeria, people used to laugh at ya
This might sound a little strange to you
If we as a people don't stand up and say
Now I take a look, I say U.S.A. for Africa?
Some people look at me and see positivity
Well here's the reason I came to you
They paid missiles, my family's eating gristle
I know I'm from the Bronx, she from the Brooklyn posse
But ehrm, stay calm, there's no need for alarm
And if you want to go to the tip top
I look, but it doesn't coincide with my books
The drama of the world shouldn't keep us so frustrated
Time and time again, as I pick up the pen
You say go back to your mom, and you're off to Vietnam
I say, "One two three, the crew is called B.D.P.
We fight inflation, yet the president's still on vacation
Hip-hop will surely decay
As my thoughts emerge, these are those words
Stop the violence in hip-hop, Y O
