Attention party people, listen A-P-B

That is an all points bulletin from Young MC

Now whether you're a senior citizen or just a tyke

Just grab a seat and pay attention as 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 we 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 contemplation

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 safe 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 wanna be everything just for everyone else

But you better think of what you wanna 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's grief

Over the marijuana plant and the cocoa leaf

Or 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 somethin' you drink, homeboy why don't you think?

Over something you snort like you were playing a sport

One day you'll go too far and then 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

But the point of this song is to tell you the facts

Some people die from smoking [Incomprehensible] 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, leaves, powder, pills and rocks

Can 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
