Words From The Genius
Stop The Nonsense
[The Genius a.k.a. Genius/GZA]
Stop the nonsense
I see youngsters, you know teenagers
Walkin around with beepers and pagers
And who's beepin them? Oh it's the boss
Making sure no one is takin a loss
On his multi-thousand dollar operation
How does he thank them for their participation
Whatever the pay, it's still ain't enough
What they got into is some serious stuff
Hours a day back and forth on the strip
Sendin customers far on a trip
And this root of all evil brings about war
Cause you wanna open up another crack store
Children can't play in the parks and things
Because a stray bullet might be headed for the swings
You never though about that, oh I guess not
All you thought about was ownin your own spot
You're puttin more and more people to sleep
But you're headed for a pothole six feet deep
You see the problem has gotten more serious
And the community is getting more furious
Get it deep in your head I told you so
It goes way beyond just sayin no
Stop the nonsense
Remember Steve with the blue Jag?
They found him cut up and stuffed in a bag
He had his own operation uptown
And there was plenty other drug dealers he would cut down
In other words he was livin foul
Shootin up neighborhoods actin wild
He said he had to protect his drug trade
Which we manufactured throughout arcades
He made sure his enemies felt the pain
Whoever he felt was a threat got slain
Like Donna, who was only sixteen
And she was employed on another drug scene
She try to set up a hit on Steve
But he sliced her throat until she could not breathe
This is what happens when you deal
You don't care on who you gotta kill
I might walk outside and get shot
Cause I live next door to a drug spot
And I don't need this stuff in my vicinity
Of me gettin shot for mistaken identity
This is the stuff that Steve was on
Now he's dead long and gone
With his old nonsense
