Yeah

Aye
Yeah
Do me a favor and drop yo guns
You know there ain't no stopping us
I'mma chase you down just like Speed Racer
Like Speed Racer, we switching lanes
You know that we always getting the gains
Stop using guns and end all the pain
Start using words and just make a change
So much violence, it needs to stop
I'm on the grind until I'm on top
You see my money and you see a lot
My flow scary, that shit is nonstop
I pick up a pen and I write a few bars
I don't pick up guns, you'll go behind bars
Me and Cha$e rock out, we superstars
We both know that this world is ours
Take care of Earth before it's too late
Violence is wrong and so out of date
This world isn't right, not in the right state
I'm here to change that and show people I'm great
I'm here to show people that they should not hate
I know that it's hard, I can relate
I know got bars, I'm spitting out flames
And I know I got swag and I got all the game
You know it's wrong and we need to stop it
I hope in the future we finally drop it
I saw some shoes and then I just copped it
And you know me I am making some profit
Just cause you're not violent does not make you soft
You're a better person without the glock
I hope that this song will make it all stop
Now it is time for me to sign off
Do me a favor and drop yo guns
You know there ain't no stopping us
Screw negativity and screw you hater
I'mma chase you down just like Speed Racer
Like Speed Racer, we switching lanes
You know that we always getting the gains
Stop using guns and end all the pain
Start using words and just make a change
Too much bloodshed I just can't take it
I have a vision and I'm proud to say it
I had a dream about nothing but peace
There was never a single gun on the streets
Rip Pop, Rip Von
Nipsey I know you're up there with God
XXX it's been so long
I don't want more souls to be gone
How many legends have to die?
How times do we have to say goodbye?
I'd be in my room watching Cobra Kai
But I don't want violence in real life
Drop yo guns, this ain't right
Screw the darkness and add more light
Let's come together and end these crimes
If you cause harm you're a waste of time
Do me a favor and drop yo guns
You know there ain't no stopping us
Screw negativity and screw you hater
I'mma chase you down just like Speed Racer
Like Speed Racer, we switching lanes
You know that we always getting the gains
Stop using guns and end all the pain
Start using words and just make a change

My brother put this on a mix-tape on cassette(remember them?) for me back in the late 90s and I trying to discern who did the song by trying to decode the lyrics. I figured it was "1991 and I dropped the gun" and I thought sometimes I heard (right or wrongly) "1991 and I shot the gun". Awesome track.
