The song "STOP (세상에 나쁜 사람은 없다)" by J-hope is about the power of perspective and the need for compassion in a world that often values individual gain over collective harmony.
In the first verse, J-hope paints a picture of the conflicting values and personalities that can strain even the strongest of friendships. He questions the tendency to assume the worst in others, even when they mean well. J-hope urges listeners to stop fighting and to reflect on the fact that everyone is fundamentally the same.
The second verse takes a critical look at society's treatment of people who commit crimes. J-hope critiques the tendency to view individuals who have committed heinous acts as animals or monsters, instead suggesting that there are systemic factors at play that can alter individuals' behavior. He encourages listeners to focus on the inherent humanity of all people and to seek understanding rather than condemnation.
In the third verse, J-hope looks at the current state of society, acknowledging the challenges posed by technological advancement and the spread of viruses. He encourages listeners to stop and change their thinking to focus on improving the world. The song concludes with J-hope affirming that, even in a world full of difficulties, there are no bad people, only those who need understanding and compassion.

가치관, 성격 대립, 매일 우정 자연재해
좋게 좋게 말해도 의문이 드는 reaction
베푸는 건 내(네) 쪽, 애써 감추려 red sun
Please stop
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
Don't fight
밉고 야속하지만 한 번 더 생각을 해
어떻게 다 비슷하고 어떻게 다 똑같애?
본질은 바뀔 순 없어, 인지해 가 be myself
단 한 톨의 믿음이 날 지배해
(There are no bad people in the world)
그래, 나도 뉴스는 봐 but what's that?
Deadly criminal 정말 사람이 저래?
짐승보다 못한 인간들의 행위 참 더럽더라고
심하게 말해 사람 새끼인가 싶더라고, 나도
Wait, stop
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
Calm down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
그래, 이건 원초적으로 돌아가 다시 그들을 봐
살아온 환경, 교육, 시스템, 나와 다른 부분은 무엇인가?
의지해 보는 거야 하나만
인간 본연의 모습, 그 하나만
Please be right
요즘은 smart한 세상 but not smart한 게 태반
분노의 비대면 회담, 희생은 시간문제야
불안전한 area so, too many viruses
무의식적인 오염, 나도 피할 순 없는 거야 이젠
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
Change our minds
Minds, minds, minds, minds, minds, minds
인과법칙에 의하여 세상에 나온 우리
그렇다 한들 일체유심조 우리가 만드는 거지
작은 시작이 큰 발걸음이기에
세상은 변해, 나쁜 사람은 없기에
That's right?
The lyrics of J-Hope's song STOP showcase the rapper's introspection on the issues of the world around him, encouraging people to stop fighting and start changing their minds. The first verse speaks about the difficulties he faces with his friends, including conflicting values, personalities, natural disasters, and doubts despite good intentions. He also notes that while he watches the news, he feels frustrated by the horrible acts of humanity, which can sometimes seem worse than animals. However, he reminds himself to stop and calm down, realizing that he needs to understand the root of these issues and recognize that there are no bad people in the world, only bad actions.
In the second verse, J-Hope acknowledges that we live in a smart but flawed world that is deliberately driven by anger and violence, with danger and viruses lurking around every corner. He encourages listeners to examine what makes us different from one another and to focus on being ourselves, rather than worrying about what others think. He asserts that we are all responsible for everything in our society, and if we make small changes, we can create a big impact on the world. He concludes by asking if this is correct, emphasizing the importance of understanding that we have the power to make a difference, and it all starts with stopping, calming down, and changing our minds.
