Young MC - Just Say No lyrics

Attention, party people It's an APB That is an All Points Bulletin from Young MC Now if you're a senior citizen or just a tike Just grab a seat and pay attention as I rock the mic I wrote a couple of rhymes And called them Just Say No Dedicated to the people who are on the go And we can't help you out if you're on the brink And if you listen this jam will make you think If you were ever in a situation Without enough time for contemplation All of your friends goin' the same way You feel kinda trapped You don't know what to say Just say no 'Cause better safe than sorry This is for real This ain't no game or folly It's your life and you only got one So you better do it right Or it will soon be done You want to be popular You want to be cool You want to be the one that everybody likes in school You want to be everything for everyone else But you better think of what you want to be for yourself Everyday people livin' in the same old mess It's hard to be original and not be like the rest You've got to go for what you know You can't afford to guess And Heaven knows what would happen if you did say yes So say no Just say no You hear me? Say no Just say no Kids OD'ing cause the families grief Over the marijuana plant and the c**a leaf Over a bunch of pills to try to get their thrills Over a drug you shoot because you think it's cute Over something you smoke Man it ain't no joke Over something you drink, Oh, boy, why don't you think? Over something you snort like you were playing a sport One day you'll go too far and you'll come up short Some people out there don't seem to get my point Telling others crack k**s while they're smoking a joint Well, the point of this song is to tell you the facts Some people die from smoking reefer like they die from crack Not a drug in particular But d** in general They're not good for you like a vitamin or a mineral They come in liquid, leafs, powder, pill, and rocks They'll put you six feet under on your back in a box So say no Just say no Do you hear me? Say no Just say no
