Squash All Beef

KRS-One

Hah, respect!

All crew, all massive, everywhere in the world

You practice the art of hip-hop

This goes out to every boy and every girl



Give me relief! I sing!



Give me relief! Squash all beef!

Don't let these arguments destroy us! I sing!

Give me relief! Squash all beef!

Don't let these arguments destroy us!



Check it

All beef can be squashed if you want it

But instead of forgiveness, ego you flaunt it

Everybody gets into two or three quarrels

Leadin to a squabble, someone will die tomorrow

Life is not a thing you can borrow

All beefs don't have to lead to sorrow

will ya, go out tomorrow

I think, you should think about the beef you got

And confront your enemy before it gets too hot

Never feel ashamed, to say, "Yo G I'm sorry

I apologize," the object is to stay alive



(paraphrasing Kool Moe Dee from "Self Destruction")

I never ran from the Klu Klux Klan

and I shouldn't have to run from a black man



(a group says it together)

I never ran from the Klu Klux Klan

and I shouldn't have to run from a black man



Yeah!

Give me relief! Squash all beef!

Don't let these arguments destroy us! I sing!

Give me relief! Squash all beef!

Don't let these arguments destroy us!



He said she said, but she said she didn't

Face gets hit, and then, bullets start spittin

No one's admittin to their wrong doing, unfittin

revenge we're pursuin, look at what you're doin, LISTEN

Release the calm and that should carry it

Be a mental vegetarian indulge in no beefs, like the

fish in the aquarium, you'll enjoy it while you're tryin it

There is no seperation between the mind and the environment

Like a bolt of lightning

I'm givin 5000 volts of the occult while I'm writin and recitin

I've come to enlighten black and white to the meaningless fightin

Clash of the titans ain't right

and it's wrong so the song reflects
