Just Say No

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 coca 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 kills 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 drugs 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
