[Intro] Crown Ruler Allah Cee King Crack that's exactly what this means And to all the Gods in 86 who are impressed You better sit right back and listen to this [Hook] Crack stay back, crack stay back, crack attack I say the jumbo means dumbo I say crack stay back, crack stay back, crack attack I say the dime is a waste of time [Verse 1: KRS One] Young, proud, middle cla**, beware yet Crack infiltrating, it's that you can bet Now is it politics or lack of leadership That has a young baby selling her body for a hit (I say the dime is a waste of time) Why don't you wake up, girl, at your school And get knowledge of yourself and the golden rule Now woman don't you know you're the queen of the Earth And your precious womb is the home of human birth So don't sell your body for no crack or dirt (I say the jumbo means dumbo) You tell your mother a lie just to get high And talk about the sneakers that you didn't buy Just to get a fifty to get high, this new affliction Some people say it's worst of all There are no barriers, everyone will fall First it was h**n from Kennedy to Luther So now they're in the street just selling woolah woolah (I say the jumbo means dumbo) I'm gonna break it down to you if you don't know what I mean I say cracks mixed with reefer taking over the scene First it was coke, girl, now that's a brand new thing Now let's pray to God and let's pray to God And let's pray to God you don't get addicted to this scene (I say the jumbo means dumbo) [Verse 2: Spoken Word] So what do we say now my young people What should we do I say crack stay back, jumbo is a dumbo And a dime is a waste of time Young, proud, middle cla**, beware yet Cause crack's an infiltration, you can bet Is it politics or a lack of leadership Who really knows But after a blast of this stuff your soul, mind and body goes Crack stay back, jumbo means dumbo, a dime is a waste of time Even the upper cla** you must watch your set With this stuff you'll lose all your gains, you may even lose your jet First they gave us heron, they called it Boy From Malcolm, John F Kennedy, right through Martin Luther King But now it's c**aine in crack form, hey it's the same old thing This new affliction's powerful, y'all, some say it is worst of all There are no barriers this time, with crack everyone will fall So what do you say now my young people Black, white, hispanic alike, what do you say now I say stay back with your crack I'm no dumbo, keep your jumbo I value my time, don't want to buy your silly dime Cracks are the devil in a white disguise Once you use them you are sure to die I'm the brother who on TV said Say no young people and keep your heads Say no young people, say no [Hook x2]
