Say No Go Lyrics

POS: 

Now let's get right on down to the skit 

A baby is brought into a world of pits 

And if it could've talked that soon 

In the delivery room 

It would've asked the nurse for a hit 

The reason for this? 

The mother is a jerk 

Excuse me, junkie 

Which brought the work of the old 

Into a new light, what a way 

But this what a way 

Has been a way of today 

Anyway push couldn't shove me 

To understand a path to a basehead 

Consumer should erase it in the first wave 

But second wave forms relievers 

And believers will walk to it 

Then even talk to it and say 

(You got my body now you want my soul) 

Nah, can't have none of that 

Tell 'em what to say Mase 

(Say no go) 

DOVE: 

Nah, no my brother 

No my sister 

Try to get hip to this 

Word, word to the mother 

I'll tell the truth 

So bear my witness 

Fly like birds of a feather 

Drugs are like pleather 

You don't wanna wear it 

No need to ask that question 

Just don't mention 

You know what the answer is 

POS: 

Now I never fancied Nancy 

But the statement she made 

Held a plate of weight 

I even stressed it to Wade 

DOVE: 

Did he take any heed? 

POS: 

Nah, the boy was hooked 

You coulda phrased the word "base" 

And the kid just shook 

In his fashion class once an A now an F 

The rock rules him now 

The only designs left 

Were once clothes made for Osh-Kosh 

Has converted to nothing but stonewash 

DOVE: 

Now hopping in a barrel is a barrel of fun 

But don't hop in if you wanna be down, son 

'Cause that could mean 

Down and out as an action 

What does that lead to? 

Dum da dum dum 

People say what have I done for all my years 

My tears show my hard earned work 

I heard shoving is worse than pushing 

But I'd rather know a shover than a pusher 

'Cause a pusher's a jerk 

(Say no go) 

POS: 

Believe it or not 

The plots forms a fee 

More than charity 

But the course doesn't coincide 

With the ride of insanity 

Is it a chant that slants 

The soul to fill for it? 

I know it's the border 

That flaunts the order 

To kill for it 

DOVE: 

Standing, scheming on a young one 

Taking his time 

8 ball for a cool pool player 

Racked it all 

Tried to break, miscued 

Got beat by the boy in blue 

Next day you're out 

By the spot once more 

Looking hard for a crack in the hole 

I ask what's the fix for the ill stuff 

Word to the Dero 

The answer shoulda been no 

POS: 

Run me a score from the funky four plus one more 

(It's the joint!) 

Rewind that back 

This is the age for a new stage of fiend 

Watch how the junkies scream 

For their crack 

"It's the crack"t should explain it from the start 

Behind the ideals of cranking up the heart 

Now the Base claims shot over every part 

(Say no go) 

(Say no go) 

(Don't even think about it) 

(Say no go) 

(Say no go)
