KRS-One - Squash All Beef 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

[paraphrasing Kool Moe Dee from "Self Destruction"]
I never ran from the Klu Klux Klan
and I shouldn't have to run from a black man

[a group says it together]
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

[paraphrasing Kool Moe Dee from "Self Destruction"]
I never ran from the Klu Klux Klan
and I shouldn't have to run from a black man

[a group says it together]
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!

Whattup Sadat X?

    KRS One's Squash All Beef song is a classic. KRS One is right that black men need to stop fighting and killing each other. KRS One's self titled album is good. I like the album pictures. I love KRS One.

    im tired of the garbage music damaging and TAINTING the talented minds with dark energy and knowledge


    YOU BECOME what you listen to ... and this is NOT out there ENOUGH

    ~Jman~

    J.... ....

    where there is light, there will always be shadows. All we can do is know where we stand.

  31. a.... a....

    KRS ONE is a 1 man industry

    this man is hip hop

  32. K.... W....

    KRS One's Squash All Beef song is good. Ignorant black men need to listen to Squash All Beef. Black men need to stop killing each other. Props to Diamond D for producing this. KRS One's self titled album is good. I like the album pictures.

    K.... W....

    His top albums for me Criminal Minded, By any Means Necessary, KRS, Sneak Attack & more..even like the surviving Skills & Meta-Historical..Krs def top 5..love how they brought back the digable planet beat for this track

    K.... W....

    You talking about Survival Skills album KRS One and Buckshot of Black Moon did. I didn't like the album because of bad beats. Album cover sucks LOL. I love KRS One and Buckshot anyway. Black Moon sampled KRS One's My Philosophy song on classic song How Many MC's. I love How Many MC's music video. KRS One and Buckshot also rapped on 5 Boroughs song they did a music video for The Corruptor soundtrack. Redman, Camron, Killah Priest, Keith Murray, Prodigy of Mobb Deep(RIP)and Run of Run DMC also rap on 5 Boroughs. Have you seen the music video?

  33. S.... B....

    Thank You to everybody that has commented/Viewed, This is Hip Hop, Thanks for your support, Too many suckers and not enough time for folk posting YouTube vids labelled as 'Hip Hop' One Love Folks

  34. B.... o....

    One of the greatest of all time!!!! My top five!!!!!!

  35. p.... ....

  36. A.... G....

    Gimme relief! Squash all beef! Don't let these arguments destroy us!
    One of my fave KRS tracks ever.

  37. X.... X....

    Knowledge of self would be the focus

    Krs one and only

    Definatly one of my favorites

    If u havent heard ( A friend - krs 1) then I suggest you look it up

  38. V.... Q....

    It has low views because these mofakkaz is deaf dum and blind. These music these aint spitting songs like this. The views are the facts the proof that we're out of course. Fuck that bubble gum crunk bullshit!!!

    V.... Q....

    word son

  39. M.... J....

    vegan for ever!!!

    M.... J....

    Marise Jalowitzki what does being vegan have to do with anything?

    M.... J....

    KRS is vegan, so I guess it's to do with that

    M.... J....

    jimi H vegan as is being free of meat or in this case "beef".

    M.... J....

    Vegan 4 Ever

  40. N.... D....

    His music (edutainment- all albums) saved my life. THANK YOU CHRIS.

  41. F.... ....

    My haven.

  42. J.... ....

    If they still listen to KRS ONE, sure lol

  43. J.... S....

    The message in this song is spot on with what is going on today in society, education, politics etc.

  44. k.... ....

    This really needs more views...This represents the golden age of hip hop in my opinion.

  45. r.... ....

    I remember telling my Mom back in the 90's that not all rap was negative and that in reality a lot of my favorite music was positive and helped me grow as a person..... Can a kid say that to his Mom these days?

  46. r.... n....

    the chorus keeps me laughing

  47. M.... W....

    My 9 Month Old Son Bobs his head to this

  48. M.... ....

    True, but this is a Diamond D beat.

  49. S.... B....

    Best Krs One track in my opinion! I know this is a really serious thing to say, but this one works anytime with me and the Crusaders sample gives me the creeps anyways!

  59. D.... ....

    du pur hip hop pas assez connu dommage...

  60. W.... M....

    Yo.. This takes a man to make a record like this.

  61. s.... ....

    KRS is one of the few artists out there who not only flexes his musical muscle, but also exercises profound moral principals in his lyrics!!!

    Brilliant!
