Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more no (no, no, no)
Can you hear me (hear me, hear me)
Hear meee yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Uh uh ooo no
What is goin on?
You know you surrender to ways that will end ya before you have begun.
It ain't always the target that your bullet scars its the innocent passes by.
Its always the good that truly die.
Now whatchu gonna do?
When you look in the mirra the eyes of a killa are staring back at you?
Its too late for prayin you know what I'm sayin there's noplace to run to.
The thugs that you thought were your people and fought you will take you to your grave.
This is your final day.
But I say...
No, no more. Put it, put it down
Too many gone before they're grown
No, no more. Put it, put it down
You only reap what you have sewn.
No more
Families torn apart
No more
Tragedies in the heart
Of this home
This street
This town
No more, no more
Now don't you emphasize.
If those who you down wit have done got they ass hit then you are next in line.
And so on and so on don't tell me the sojourn
And you can see the lie.
Its time for decision, its time for some action
To stop in one fair fall
You still withdraw
And then you fall...
[Chorus]
[Chorus2] x4
Don't be a fool...
A whatchu gonna do when they come for you?
[Chorus]
[body3] (roni size)
C'mon c'mon people, ...?
How many have to cry beneath the steeple?
Too many walk the streets with a mind set that's too damn lethal.
I know the argument; you got yours to protect yourself, so you don't need to check yourself, 'cause you ain't tryin to wreck yourself its them,
But then them soon becomes you when you find yourself protecting a member of your crew
It's a vicious cycle.
Too many want to claim the title.
They want to be the bad man thug, 'cause that's their idol
Don't live by the life your not supposed to be livin, ...?
'cause 1 can make the difference
10 can make the chain
100 can make things get better at lower lanes
1000 a new start
10,000 a revolution
One million, well finally be close to a solution
No more
[chorus]x2
The song "No More" by Roni Size featuring Beverley Knight and Dynamite MC is a message of urging people to stop the violence, particularly in the urban communities. The lyrics start off with a plea for people to put down their weapons as too many innocent lives have been lost. The song also talks about the consequences of violence, not only to the victims but also to the people left behind, torn apart by tragedy. The lyrics encourage people to take action and make a change in their communities, to stop living the life that they are not supposed to and to break away from the vicious cycle of violence.
The song is a collaboration between Roni Size, a British record producer and DJ, and Beverley Knight, a British soul and R&B singer. It also features Dynamite MC, a British rapper, and MC.
