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
 for too long we've been vexed at each other
 Every sister, every brother..
 You've gots ta LOVE one another

 (paraphrasing Kool Moe Dee from "Self Destruction")
 I never ran from the Klu Klux Klan

 Yeah!
 Give me relief! Squash all beef!
 Don't let these arguments destroy us! Check it
 Give me relief! Squash all beef!
 Don't let these arguments destroy us! Ha hah

 Give me relief! (That's right)
 Squash all beef!

 If I ruled the schools, from pole to pole
 the entire judicial system would fold
 I would get rid of the books cause they bogus
 and in school, Knowledge of Self would be the focus
 Kids would flock to the schools like locusts
 Cause school now relates to them, and you would notice
 violence in society would be a minimal
 Cause the education yeah, would now be metaphysical
 Not livin by laws, but livin by principal
 If you disobey, the UNIVERSE gets with you
 We would study giving so no one would steal
 And we would read each other's magnetic fields
 Petty crimes times petty crimes
 equals prison for lifetimes
 The universe divided by two
 equals me and you
 Me and you, go into the universe once
 or as one united front
 But listen up, when I was growin up in hip-hoppin
 we had a thing called Jailhouse Boxin
 That's why I'm STILL here rockin
 cause my competition never pulled a Glock in, 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! 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!
