Afros, yeah
Afros, yeah

Brothers be out there doin' crack, no
They be doin' dope, no
They be gang bangin', no
All them brothers need to just pause

Yeah, I'm with that
Here comes the Afros
And the forty ounce crew
Who say slowly but surely

We gonna turn the mother out
We got more in store
Young ladies on the floor
Ao cool out pause

Intro, 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

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
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, oh, 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
