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 |
