Lyrics

Afros (yeah) Afros (whassup my man?) Brothers be out there doin' crack (no) They be doin' dope (no) They be gangbangin' (no) All them brothers need to just pause Yeah, I'm with that Here comes the Afros And the 40 ounce crew Who say slowly but surely We gonna turn the mother out We got more in store Young ladies on the floor, so cool out, pause Intrо, which means I start it In other words, herbs departed Pause, stop for the cause Get up, get down, you get yours Chill, no time to get ill (Word to herb) yeah, it's the will of God So whassup Hobbes? Just jock, clock, rock, and don't stop but Pause Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go, go, go Pause, pause for the cause, get yours But don't break laws Quit, quit it, forget it Pause, say your way with it Pause, if you did it, admit it 'Cause you shouldn'ta did it Next time, you think of doin' a crime Pause, and remember this rhyme Pause for the 'cause, 'cause broken laws Are just like broken jaws They take a long time to heal I'm for real, and I know the deal Look it over, investigate Evaluate, think Life is wrong, and full of flaws Before you break laws, just pause! I think that worked, man I think that worked, man I think that worked, man (pause) I think-, I think that worked, man (pause) Yeah pause, this beat is dope D I'm tellin' you, this beat is dope Just slammin', it's dope Well if it's dope, I hope it's not crack Or coke, or nuttin' like somethin' you ever smoke And if they offer you some say no or pause The reason I wrote this rhyme, is not to climb But just to tell all mankind That the use and abuse of drugs (will what?) Will blow your mind Like dough makes bread It goes straight to your head You're misled and then you're dead Now that's not fly, when you die on a high Like a trip, oooh, you make me sick Ill, lookin' like doo-doo on a stick You don't have to be a vic Life is like a flick, so pause Pause, p-pause, pause, p-p-pause Alright y'all, now that you understand My man Run never ran I'm gonna take this mic yo my hand And hand this to the one-man band Now pause, now pause I'm Jay, I make up the trey Now check out the dance that I display It's called the pause A new thing on the dance floor First you move, then you stop Combine the hustle, foxtrot, pop and lock Put 'em all together why because It's called the pause Slammin', the dance is slammin' Pause, the people are jammin' Stop again, back to the groove I show you how to move (pause) It's simple, just like stop and go You can pause on the fast or slow Participate, won't you all get down Here's a solo from my homeboy Stanley Brown Ahh yeah, I like this R&B shit Pause, pause One more time! Yeah, do that, do that Now pause!
