When some get together and think of rap, they tend to think of violence |
|
But when they are challenged on some rock group, the result is always silence |
|
Even before the rock and roll era, violence played a big part in music |
|
It's all according to your meaning of violence and how or in which way you use it |
|
No, it's not violent to show in movies the destruction of the human body |
|
But yes, of course it's violent to protect yourself at a party |
|
And, oh no, it's not violent when under the christmas tree is a look-alike gun |
|
But, yes, of course it's violent to have an album like krs-one |
|
By all means necessary, it's time to end the hypocrisy |
|
What i call violence, i can't do , but your kind of violence is stopping me |
|
By all means necessary, the rap audience must grow up |
|
The same type of fightin' we do, they do except we've got nothing to blow up |
|
It doesn`t matter if you win or lose, it's only how good you play the game |
|
This is the oldest sneak attack, because it takes away our senses to gain |
|
If all i do is play the game then i am just mediocre |
|
We strive to be the best we can be, not to just get over |
|
Some people say that life on a whole is serious and nothing is funny |
|
That's only if you base your life around competition and money |
|
Yeah, i'm making some money, he's making some money, but none of these things are necessities |
|
What i find to be a necessity is controlling a positive destiny |
|
With this, money, fame, glory and credit will come in time |
|
The people down with me know this every minute they hear me sayin rhymes |
|
I got some friends, i got some allies like stet, and big daddy kane |
|
They know that by all means necessary that peace is the name of this game |
|
Whether peace by war, or peace by peace, the reality of peace is scary |
|
But we must get there, one way or another, by all means necessary. |
