Non-violence (they want violence)
Stop the violence
Stop the violence
If the prisons and drugs don't get us
Bullets will rid us of the disfranchised
Money then lies
Pulling wool over eyes, we flockin' the sheep
Only choice is stay woke or eternally sleep
Families weep and grieve for the ones that was lost
And the law pay your counties just to tally the cost
Politicians line the pockets when they fill up the jails
Watch the judge get complicit, that's how evil prevails
Flag sails but the pirates doin' white-collar crime
Stole millions, got convicted, never did any time
March on to the beat of this drum
No matter the breaks it seems we can't escape this slum
I'm on a tune more spiritual, scratch off the serial
Blood-stain the blocks on the streets of the imperials
Justice is rarely found anywhere in this town
So we pullin' out stops to shut 'em down
It's all wound tighter than the rattlesnake's coil
Ain't no tellin' what could happen when the blood starts to boil
'Til your roots they boil, we dyin' for change
Seen the corner get sprayed for debts in dice games
The same grimy hands count the blood money
Can't launder the cash, the funds is to crumby
We all stuck deep in this dirt
Can we get out from underneath the villains feelin' this hurt? Come on
When the streets stay poppin' and the kids still droppin'
Let's pause for a minute, just (stop the violence!)
When the feds come knockin', and you hear the gun cockin'
Everybody lemme hear ya, let's (stop the violence!)
When the streets stay poppin' and the kids still droppin'
Let's pause for a minute, just (stop the violence!)
When the cops come through with hands on their guns
And the youth wanna run, let's (stop the violence!)
When the streets stay poppin' and the kids still droppin'
Let's pause for a minute, just (stop the violence!)
When the feds come knockin', and you hear the gun cockin'
Everybody lemme hear ya, let's (stop the violence!)
We must change the system
We must change the system
For it is the only way we can change the system, aah-aah-aah
Please, lemme stay non-violent
It seems to get worse when we hear those sirens
Police showin' up, 'fore we speak, they firin'
Really no surprise when it's thugs they hirin'
Excuse me if I struck some nerves
Seein' that badge ain't really here to protect and serve
Some are good, some are bad, some are skimmin' off bags
Others schemin' on partners turnin' riches to rags
Toe tags get tallied from Tallahassee to Cali
It's the peace in the valley and dealin' dope in the alleys
See, this is rot and gritty, the product is nothing pretty
Situation is shitty
They plottin', don't snatch the kitty
And they ran away, out of this game
Parents matriculated the status 'til they treat us the same
When it rains, then it pours, always gunnin' for yous
Them boys is more than thick like glass in liquor stores and chicken-shacks in hoods
Pushin' poisonous goods
When they really ain't enough to give the breath that you could
Who had to die for a piece of the prize?
Too many deceased for pushin' peace
See the hate in they eyes?
Wise up, before the system decides your time's up
Had enough of them holdin' us down, let's rise up
And that's word to my G's because we movin' in silence
Put them fingers down and put an end to the violence
When the streets stay poppin' and the kids still droppin'
Let's pause for a minute, just (stop the violence!)
When the feds come knockin', and you hear the gun cockin'
Everybody lemme hear ya, let's (stop the violence!)
When the streets stay poppin' and the kids still droppin'
Let's pause for a minute, just (stop the violence!)
When the cops come through with hands on their guns
And the youth wanna run, let's (stop the violence!)
When the streets stay poppin' and the kids still droppin'
Let's pause for a minute, just (stop the violence!)
When the feds come knockin', and you hear the gun cockin'
Everybody lemme hear ya, let's (stop the violence!)
When the streets stay poppin' and the kids still droppin'
Let's pause for a minute, just (stop the violence!)
When the feds come knockin', and you hear the gun cockin'
Everybody lemme hear ya, let's (stop the violence!)
