Say No Brother (Crack Attack Don't Do It) - Boogie Down Productions

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

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

Young, proud, middle class, 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 heroin 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)

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 class, 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 class 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 cocaine 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
