Crack stay back, crack stay back, crack attack I say the jumbo means Dumbo (I say the jumbo means Dumbo) I say crack stay back, a crack stay back, crack attack I say the dime is a waste of time (I say the dime is a waste of time) [Verse 1: KRS-One] Young proud middle class, beware yet Crack infiltratin and that you can bet Now is it politics or lack of leadership That has the young babies sellin their body for a hit I say the dime is a waste of time (I say the dime is a waste of time) Why don't you wake up girl, at your school And get knowledge of yourself and the golden rule Now woman don't you know, you're the queen of the earth And your precious womb is the home of human birth So don't sell your body for no crack or dirt I say the jumbo means Dumbo (I say the jumbo means Dumbo) You tell your mother a lie, just to get high You talk about the sneakers that you didn't buy Just to get a 50 to get high, this new affliction Some people say, is worst of all There are no barriers and everyone will fall First it was heroin from Kennedy to Luther So now they're in the streets just sellin hula hula I say the jumbo means Dumbo (I say the jumbo means Dumbo) I'm gonna break it down to ya if you don't know what I mean I say crack's miseries been takin over the scene You do this coke girl, now that's a brand new thing And let's pray to God, and let us pray to God And let us pray to God you don't get addicted to the scene I say the jumbo means Dumbo (I say the jumbo means Dumbo) Crack stay back, crack stay back... [echoes] [1:00 long instrumental interlude] [Verse 2: spoken word orator] And a dime, is a waste of time Young, proud, middle class, beware yet Cause crack's an infiltration, you can bet Is it politics or, a lack of leadership Who really knows? But after a blast of this stuff your soul mind and body goes Crack stay back, jumbo means Dumbo, a DIME, is a waste of time Even the upper class you must watch your set! With this stuff you'll lose all your gains You may even lose your jet First, they gave us her-on, they called it boy From Malcolm, John F. Kennedy, right through Martin Luther King But now it's cocaine in crack form Hey it's the same old thing This new affliction's powerful y'all! Some say it is worst of all There are no barriers this time With CRACK, everyone will fall So what do you say now my young people? Black, white, hispanic alike, what do you say now? I say, stay BACK with your CRACK I'm no Dumbo, keep your jumbo I value my time, don't want to buy your silly dime Cracks are the devil in a white disguise Once, once you use them you are SURE to die! I AM THE BROTHER WHO ON TV SAID SAY NO YOUNG PEOPLE AND KEEP YOUR HEADS SAY NO YOUNG PEOPLE, SAY NO [x2:] Crack stay back, a crack stay back, crack attack I say the dime is a waste of time Crack stay back, crack stay back, crack attack I say the jumbo means Dumbo
