Lyrics
[Intro]
Ow
[Verse 1]
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 life , 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 erased it in the first wave
'Cause second wave form relievers and believers
Will walk to it, then even talk to it and say
You got the body, now you want my soul
Nah, can't have none of that, tell 'em what to say, Mase
[Chorus]
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
[Verse 2]
Ow, ow
Nah, no, my brother
No, my sister, time 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
[Verse 3]
Now I never fancied Nancy
But the statement she made held a plate of weight
I even stressed it to Wade
Did he take any heed?
Nah, the boy was hooked, you could've 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 Oshkosh
Has converted to nothing but stonewash
[Verse 4]
Now hopping in a barrel is a barrel of fun
But don't hop in if you want to be down, son
'Cause down could mean down and out as an action
What does it 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
[Chorus]
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
[Verse 5]
Ow, ow
Believe it or not, the plot forms a fee more that charity
But the course doesn't coincide with the ride of insanity
Is it a chant that slant the soul to fill for it?
I know it's the border that flaunts the order to kill for it
[Verse 6]
Ow, ow
Standing, scheming on a young one
Taking his time, eight-balls 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 should have been, "No "
[Verse 7]
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 zombies scream , "It's the crack "
Plain is plain, it should explain it from the start
Behind the ideals of cranking up the heart
Now the base claims shop over every park
[Chorus]
Ow, ow
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
Don't even think about it
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
Ow, ow
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
Say, "No go"
