This song is about how Hip Hop has changed in the aspect of Mc's having feuds
between each other and how killing is the byproduct.

Lyrics:
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 

I never ran from the Klu Klux Klan 
and I shouldn't have to run from a black man 

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 

I never ran from the Klu Klux Klan 
and I shouldn't have to run from a black man 

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! 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!
