attention party people
listen a-p-b
that is an all points bulletin from young mc
now weither you're a senior citizen or just a tyke
just grab a seat and pay attention while i rock the mic
i wrote a couple of rhymes
i call 'em 'just say no'
dedicated to the people who are on the go
and they can help you out if you're on the brink
and if you listen this jam will make you think
if you are ever
in a situation
without enough time for contimplation
all of your friends go in the same way
you feel kind of trapped
you don't know what to say
just say no
'cause better save than sorry
this is for real
this ain't no game or foley
it's your life
and you've 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 at school
you want be everything just for everyone else
but you better think of what you want to be for yourself
every day
people livin' in the same old mess
hard to be original and not be like the rest
you gotta 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
do you hear me
say no
just say no
kids o.d. and cause a family greif
over the marjuiana plant and the coca leaf
or a bunch of pills
to try to get their thrills
over a drug you shoot
because you think's it cute
over something you smoke
man it ain't no joke
over somethin you drink
homeboy why don't you think?
over something you snort like you were playing a sport
one day you'll go to far and then you'll come up short
some people out there don't seem to get my point
telling others crack kills while their smoking a joint
but the point of this song is to tell you the facts
some people die from smoking wreffer like they die from crack
not a drug in particular
but drugs in general
they're not good for you
like a vitamin or mineral
they come in liquid
leaves
powder
pills and rocks
can put you six feet under on your back in a box
so say no
