Stop Lyrics

Stop lyrics

I seen boys get up and blowing it with the world in the palm of their hands

I seen beautiful girls losing their curls

I seen 'em stretched out 'n' getting a tan

I seen criminal types

I'll forgive 'em the hype dressed up in a tailored suit

I seen an angel with a pair o' wings running off with a bag o' loot

I said stop it's getting late

I said stop trying burying your hate

I seen a human face inside a coloured race gettin' up and starting to run

I seen a man get bored

I seen a bone get gnawed

I seen him playing with a loaded gun

I seen you laughing loud

I seen you crying wolf

I seen you steppin' on yo' fellowman

I seen you grabbing at everything you want with a pair of clawing hands

I said stop it's getting late I said stop try burying your hate

I said stop and learn to love I said stop ...

Look above at the crown of love try it on it fits you like a glove

There are jewels up there for you to take a pair

Nobody will miss them if you want to dare ...

I seen men acting like they're dumb

I seen women acting like they're scared

I seen 'em both together raising kids

I seen 'em both with time to spare

I seen 'em loving each other

I seen 'em fighting mad

I seen 'em working for a gallon of gas

I seen an uptight man in a monkey suit cracking skulls for a little brass

I said stop it's getting late
