You got grown people
Who can't write or read
You got strange diseases
Ha! But there's no cure
You got many doctors
That aren't so sure, so tell me

Why you wanna trip on me?
Why you wanna trip on me?
Stop trippin'

We've got more problems
Than we'll ever need
You got gang violence
And bloodshed on the street
You got homeless people
With no food to eat
With no clothes on their back
And no shoes for their feet

We've got drug addiction
In the minds of the weak
We've got so much corruption
Police brutality
We've got streetwalkers
Walkin' into darkness
Tell me, what are we doing
To try to stop this?

Why you wanna trip on me?
Why you wanna trip on me?

Why you wanna trip on me?
Why you wanna trip on me?
Oh, stop trippin', yeah, stop trippin'
Everybody just stop trippin'

Why you wanna trip on me?
Why you wanna trip on me?
No, no, no, no, no don't you dare to me brother
Baby, oh

Why you wanna trip on me?
No no, no no, no don't you dare to me brother
Why you wanna trip on me?
No, no, no, no, can't you understand that

Why you wanna trip on me?
Don't you dare to me brother
Why you wanna trip on me?
You can't, you can't, you can't understand that

Why you wanna trip on me?
Can't you understand, baby
Why you wanna trip on me?
Ooh stop trippin', yeah stop trippin'
Everybody just stop trippin'

Stop trippin'
Stop trippin'
Stop trippin'
Stop trippin'
