D Now let's get right on down to the skit
D A baby is brought into a world of pits
D And if it could've talked that soon
D In the delivery room
D It would've asked the nurse for a hit
D The reason for this?
D The mother is a jerk
D Excuse me, junkie
D Which brought the work of the old
D Into a new light, what a way
D But this what a way
D Has been a way of today
D Anyway push couldn't shove me
D To understand a path to a basehead
D Consumer should erase it in the first wave
D But second wave forms relievers
D And believers will walk to it
D Then even talk to it and say
D C#m (You got my body now you want my soul)
C#m Nah, can't have none of that
C#m Tell 'em what to say Mase [Chorus]
C#m C# C#m C# (Say no go, say no go)
C#m C# C#m C# (Say no go, say no go)
C#m C# (Say no go, Say, say, say, say) [Verse-Dove]
C# Nah, no my brother
C# No my sister
C# Try to get hip to this
C# Word, word to the mother
C# I'll tell the truth
C# So bear my witness
C# Fly like birds of a feather
C# Drugs are like pleather
C# You don't wanna wear it
C# No need to ask that question
C# Just don't mention
C# You know what the answer is

[Verse-Pos]
C Now I never fancied Nancy
C But the statement she made
C Held a plate of weight
C I even stressed it to Wade [Verse-Dove]
C Did he take any heed? [Verse-Pos]
C Nah, the boy was hooked
C You coulda phrased the word "base"
C And the kid just shook
C In his fashion class once an A now an F
C The rock rules him now
C The only designs left
C Were once clothes made for Osh-Kosh
C Has converted to nothing but stonewash [Verse-Dove]
C Now hopping in a barrel is a barrel of fun
C But don't hop in if you wanna be down, son
C 'Cause that could mean
C Down and out as an action
C What does that lead to?
C Dum da dum dum
C People say what have I done for all my years
C My tears show my hard earned work
C I heard shoving is worse than pushing
C But I'd rather know a shover than a pusher
C 'Cause a pusher's a jerk [Chorus]
C#m C# C#m C# (Say no go, say no go)
C#m C# (Say no go, Say, say, say, say)
C#m C# (Say no go, Say, say, say, say) [Verse-Pos]
C# Believe it or not
C# The plots forms a fee
C# More than charity
C# But the course doesn't coincide
C# With the ride of insanity
C# Is it a chant that slants
C# The soul to fill for it?
C# I know it's the border
C# That flaunts the order
C# To kill for it [Verse-Dove]
C# Standing, scheming on a young one
C# Taking his time
C# 8 ball for a cool pool player
C# Racked it all
C# Tried to break, miscued
C# Got beat by the boy in blue
C# Next day you're out
C# By the spot once more
C# Looking hard for a crack in the hole
C# I ask what's the fix for the ill stuff
C# Word to the Dero
C# The answer shoulda been no [Verse-Pos]
C# Run me a score from the funky four plus one more
A# (It's the joint!)
A# Rewind that back
A# This is the age for a new stage of fiend
A# Watch how the junkies scream
A# For their crack
A# "It's the crack"t should explain it from the start
A# Behind the ideals of cranking up the heart
A# Now the Base claims shot over every part [Other]
C#m C# C#m C# (Say no go, Say no go)
