SLAINE - Stop The Violence lyrics

(*Prod. by Matty Trump) [Verse 1:] Yeah, since the beginning of time a life has been lost from a murder* Since they hung Christ from the cross A man stabbed in the abdomen the knife has been tossed Pieces that live in a river where the lifeless are washed Is it love, lust, or anger? Your wife is divorced From an expensive addiction, the price that it costs Is too senseless to mention but lies lay inside of the eyes Of these guys disguised with ruthless intentions The gruesomest henchmen, screws loosened with wrenches So I guess it takes a Slaine man to speak truth in a sentence And I don't need to speak to a priest to find peace In order to recoup some repentance But all it takes is my anger to be sparked To shoot from the trenches and k** a man Become a prisoner who's cooped in the fences Or come up with some robbery loot Moving with Lex, Coupes, and Benzes But when the greed and the need for speed Leads you into weeds with diesel in your jeans You're breathing a disease Injected, infected in a sinister mind Don't cry, this has been since the beginning of time [Chorus: (2x)] They tell us we can stop the violence Cause we pack heat, pop the irons This is the cycle it is, I can't break it I just live in this world, I didn't make it [Verse 2:] This is rap music, is it white music, is it black music? You think it's so gangster that they clap to it Godfather, Good Fellas soundtrack movie Spit it, played it, sprayed it, I found that uzi Who's he really playing our sh** clean Ain't reality, our grip got AR-15's And you're gonna need an army to push To come against us Your whole squad's poonany and puss So what am I, a pacifist or an activist Acting pissed with the mac that spits at ya Acuras You're shooting at us, we're clapping back at ya's Come on man, we made our money wrapping packages I'm f**ing with you now, I ba*tard your kids I know what I knew homie and I rap what I live I never front, I show you how backwards it is Till you hear the bullets crack in the back of your ribs What!
