[Intro]
All of my people say
(And ya don't stop)
Yeah-ah-ah-ay
(Brainiac and it won't stop)
All of my people say
(And ya don't stop)
Yeah-ah-ah-ay
[Verse 1]
Deep in the creek water zone
Where the phone poles
Hold no street lights
The blacker the night gets
The better the fight gets
Righteousness dies
Blood loss and trauma become
Regular to the eyes
Imply the wrong words
Look sideways at the
Wrong soul and a hole gets dug
It's drugs, it's wine
It's guns, it's crime
It's none of the above
It's who cut line
Who shoved my back in this drank
Got my new two-dollar white tee
Who hollin' at me
"What? mother-" and it's on
One is hit, bottles thrown
Some are cut, some are gone
Summertime anytime
With the time in the mind of the youth
Gone mad because of what the music is lacking
The soldiers grow up to be packing
What a shame
The cure for AIDS on the front page
Pop!
[Hook]
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
All of my people say
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
Yeah-ah-ah-ay
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
All of my people say
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
Yeah-ah-ah-ay
[Verse 2]
The smell of the crown 80 proof
Seeping through her perfume
Makes the room in this apartment a cell
The stumbling over the couches
And the demonic laughter
That captures the fury in the mouse
Who is
Quiet in his hole, now he's 13 years old, and the
Glass breaking and sex with strangers is taking its toll
And he's shaking and cold, a night kiss
Goodbye, I can't take another night like this
All of what from what a bite might fix
Maybe some new kicks
Maybe someday in the park
Just him and her
But instead the image is sinister
What she let him to become inside was inadvertently
Put in his life, cursed, certainly she knew
The problem was in the bottle and not who she knew
What's making him fail in school
Is it him and hip hop?
No it's not
It's you popping and top
[Hook]
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
All of my people say
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
Yeah-ah-ah-ay
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
All of my people say
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
Yeah-ah-ah-ay
[Verse 3]
The overweight girl was a genius with words
She had plaques and her(?) ribbons next to mama's pearls
On the dresser
Stood staring at her reflection
And the picture of Daddy, who gave her the lecture
With tears on her cheek
And a handful of pills
He demanded she lost(?)
She had it up to here
And the boys at the school
Didn't want to be seen
With a girl like her
No, they wanted prom queens
And the queen that she was
To grandmama at least
But she don't hear that no more
Cuz grandmama's deceased
And with the weight of the world
On the weight of this girl
Took its toll on her soul
And controlling her urge to go eat
Disappeared with the evil remarks
That she heard from her peers
And she grieved in the dark
And the dark turned to day
It was day, it was night
It's too late to fight
Cuz she's not gonna hear you
She drops
[Hook]
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
All of my people say
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
Yeah-ah-ah-ay
(Never stop)
And it won't stop
(Never stop)
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
All of my people say
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
And it won't stop
Yeah-ah-ah-ay
[Outro]
All of my people say
(And ya don't stop)
Yeah-ah-ah-ay
All of my people say
(And ya don't stop)
Yeah-ah-ah-ay
