Boogie Down Productions - Necessary Lyrics
When some get together and think of rap, they tend to think of violenceBut when they are challenged on some rock group, the result is always silenceEven before the rock and roll era, violence played a big part in musicIts all according to your meaning of violence and how or in which way you use itNo, its not violent to show in movies the destruction of the human bodyBut yes, of course its violent to protect yourself at a partyAnd, oh no, its not violent when under the christmas tree is a look-alike gunBut, yes, of course its violent to have an album like krs-oneBy all means necessary, its time to end the hypocrisyWhat I call violence, I cant do , but your kind of violence is stopping meBy all means necessary, the rap audience must grow upThe same type of fightin we do, they do except weve got nothing to blow upIt doesn`t matter if you win or lose, its only how good you play the gameThis is the oldest sneak attack, because it takes away our senses to gainIf all I do is play the game then I am just mediocreWe strive to be the best we can be, not to just get overSome people say that life on a whole is serious and nothing is funnyThats only if you base your life around competition and moneyYeah, Im making some money, hes making some money, but none of these things are necessitiesWhat I find to be a necessity is controlling a positive destinyWith this, money, fame, glory and credit will come in timeThe people down with me know this every minute they hear me sayin rhymesI got some friends, I got some allies like stet, and big daddy kaneThey know that by all means necessary that peace is the name of this gameWhether peace by war, or peace by peace, the reality of peace is scaryBut we must get there, one way or another, by all means necessary.
