Tekst piosenki

[Intro: Malcolm X]

We all agree tonight—all of the speakers have agreed that America has a very serious problem

Not only does America have a very serious problem but our people have a very serious problem

America's problem is...


[Chorus]

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction


[KRS-One]

Well, today's topic, self destruction

It really ain't the rap audience that's bugging

It's one or two suckers, ignorant brothers

Trying to rob and steal from one another

You get caught in the mid

So to crush the stereotype here's what we did

We got ourselves together

So that you could unite and fight for what's right

Not negative 'cause the way we live is positive

We don't kill our relatives


[MC Delite]

Pop pop pop

One is shot, who's to blame?

Headlines, front page, and rap's the name

MC Delite here to state the bottom line

That black-on-black crime was way before our time


[Kool Moe Dee]

Took a brother's life with a knife as his wife

Cried 'cause he died a trifling death

When he left his very last breath

Was "I slept so watch your step"

Back in the sixties our brothers and sisters were hanged

How could you gang-bang?

I never ever ran from the Ku Klux Klan

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

'Cause that's...


[Chorus]

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction


("Uno, dos, tres, cuatro...")


[MC Lyte]

Funky fresh dressed to impress, ready to party

Money in your pocket, dying to move your body

To get inside you paid the whole ten dollars

Scotch taped with a razor blade taped to your collar

Leave the guns and the crack and the knives alone

MC Lyte's on the microphone

Bum rushing and pushing, snatching and taxing

I cram to understand why brothers don't be maxing

There's only one disco, they'll close one more

You ain't guarding the door, so what you got a gun for?

Do you rob the rich and give to the poor?

Yo Daddy-O, school em some more


[Daddy-O + Wise + both]

Straight from the mouth of Wise and Daddy-O

Do a crime, end up in jail and gotta go

'Cause you could do crime and get paid today

And tomorrow you're behind bars in the worst way

Far from your family, 'cause you're locked away

Now tell me, do you really think crime pays?

Scheming on taking what your brother had?

(You little sucker) you're talkin' all that jazz


[D-Nice]

It's time to stand together in a unity

'Cause if not then we're soon to be

Self-destroyed, unemployed

The rap race will be lost without a trace

Or a clue but what to do

Is stop the violence and kick the science

Down the road that we call eternity

Where knowledge is formed and you'll learn to be

Self-sufficient, independent

To teach to each is what rap intended

But society wants to invade

So do not walk this path they laid

It's...


[Chorus]

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction


("D-Nice, break it down like this")

("Children grow and women produce

And men go work and some do stealing")


[Chorus]

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction


[Ms. Melodie]

I'm Ms. Melodie and I'm a born again rebel

The violence in rap must cease and seckle

If we want to develop and grow to another level

We can't be guinea pigs for the devil

The enemy knows, they're no fools

Because everyone knows that hip-hop rules

So we gotta get a grip and grab what's wrong

The opposition is weak and rap is strong


[Doug E. Fresh]

This is all about, no doubt, to stop violence

But first let's have a moment of silence

*Fresh beatboxes*... swing

Things been stated re-educated, evaluated

Thoughts of the past have faded

The only thing left is the memories of our belated

And I hate it, when

Someone dies and gets all hurt up

For a silly gold chain by a chump (Word up)

It doesn't make you a big man (And)

To want to go out and dis your brother man (And)

You don't know that's part of the plan (Why?)

'Cause rap music is in full demand

Understand


[Chorus]

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction


[Just-Ice]

My name is Just-Ice — a man, not a prankster

I was known as the gangster

But believe me that is no fun

The time is now to unite everyone

You don't have to be soft to be for peace

Robbing and killing and murdering is the least

You don't have to be chained by the beast

But party people it's time I release!


[Heavy D]

Ayo here's the situation: idiodicy

Nonsense, violence, not a good policy

Therefore we must ignore, fighting and fussing

Heavy's at the door so there'll be no bum-rushing

Let's get together or we'll be falling apart

I heard a brother shot another, it broke my heart

I don't understand the difficulty, people

Love your brother, treat him as an equal

They call us animals — mmm mmm, I don't agree with them

I'll prove them wrong, but right is what your proving them

Take heed before I lead to what I'm saying

Or we'll all be on our knees, praying


[Fruitkwan]

Yo Heavy D, deep in the heart of the matter

The self-destruction is served on a platter

Making a day not failing to anticipate

They got greedy so they fell for the bait

That makes them a victim, picked then plucked

New jack in jail, but to the vets they're a duck

There's no one to rob, 'cause in jail you're a number

They never took the time to wonder about


[Chorus]

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction


[Chuck D + (Flavor Flav)]

Yes, we urge to merge, we live for the love of our people

The hope: they get along (Yeah, so we did a song)

Getting the point to our brothers and sisters

Who don't know the time (Boyyyee, so we wrote a rhyme)

Instead in your head, you know, our job

To build and collect ourselves with intellect (Come on)

To revolve, to evolve to self-respect

'Cause we got to keep ourselves in check

Or else it's...


[Chorus]

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction

Self destruction, you're headed for self destruction
