Stop the Violence (feat. Beat Assailant)

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!)
