[01:32.130] Next time you think of doin a crime
[01:34.450] Pause and remember this rhyme
[01:36.820] Pause for the cause 'cause broken laws
[01:39.700] Are just like broken jaws
[01:41.380] They take a long time to heal
[01:42.880] I'm for real and I know the deal
[01:45.760] Look it over investigate

[02:15.740] Or coke or nuttin' like somethin' you ever smoke
[02:18.420] And if they offer you some say no or pause
[02:22.110] The reason I wrote this rhyme is not to climb
[02:24.800] But just to tell all mankind
[02:26.420] That the use and abuse of drugs will what
[02:28.610] Will blow your mind
[02:31.300] Like dough makes bread
[02:33.110] It goes straight to your head
[02:34.170] You're misled and then you're dead
[02:35.860] Now that's not fly when you die
[02:38.980] On a high like a trip oh you make me sick
[02:42.540] Ill lookin' like doo doo on a stick
