Pause

Afros (yeah)
Afros (whassup my man?)
Brothers be out there doin' crack (no)
They be doin' dope (no)
They be gangbangin' (no)
All them brothers need to just pause

Yeah, I'm with that
Here comes the Afros
And the 40 ounce crew
Who say slowly but surely
We gonna turn the mother out
We got more in store
Young ladies on the floor, so cool out, pause

Intrо, which means I start it
In other words, herbs departed
Pause, stop for the cause
Get up, get down, you get yours
Chill, no time to get ill
(Word to herb) yeah, it's the will of God
So whassup Hobbes?
Just jock, clock, rock, and don't stop but
Pause

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Pause, pause for the cause, get yours
But don't break laws
Quit, quit it, forget it
Pause, say your way with it
Pause, if you did it, admit it
'Cause you shouldn'ta did it
Next time, you think of doin' a crime
Pause, and remember this rhyme

Pause for the 'cause, 'cause broken laws
Are just like broken jaws
They take a long time to heal
I'm for real, and I know the deal
Look it over, investigate
Evaluate, think
Life is wrong, and full of flaws
Before you break laws, just pause!

I think that worked, man
I think that worked, man
I think that worked, man (pause)
I think-, I think that worked, man (pause)
Yeah pause, this beat is dope D
I'm tellin' you, this beat is dope
Just slammin', it's dope

Well if it's dope, I hope it's not crack
Or coke, or nuttin' like somethin' you ever smoke
And if they offer you some say no or pause
The reason I wrote this rhyme, is not to climb
But just to tell all mankind
That the use and abuse of drugs (will what?)
Will blow your mind

Like dough makes bread
It goes straight to your head
You're misled and then you're dead
Now that's not fly, when you die on a high
Like a trip, oooh, you make me sick
Ill, lookin' like doo-doo on a stick
You don't have to be a vic
Life is like a flick, so pause

Pause, p-pause, pause, p-p-pause
Alright y'all, now that you understand
My man Run never ran
I'm gonna take this mic yo my hand
And hand this to the one-man band
Now pause, now pause

I'm Jay, I make up the trey
Now check out the dance that I display
It's called the pause
A new thing on the dance floor
First you move, then you stop
Combine the hustle, foxtrot, pop and lock
Put 'em all together why because
It's called the pause

Slammin', the dance is slammin'
Pause, the people are jammin'
Stop again, back to the groove
I show you how to move (pause)

It's simple, just like stop and go
You can pause on the fast or slow
Participate, won't you all get down
Here's a solo from my homeboy Stanley Brown

Ahh yeah, I like this R&B shit
Pause, pause
One more time!

Yeah, do that, do that

Now pause!
