People of the world There's a serious problem And it's called crack I'm telling you Stay away from it It makes you do crazy things
[ VERSE 1 ] Disruption, disorder will nourish, not justify Those that live at the F.B.I. Look at mama's baby comin home high As she runs with tears in her eyes Crack will snatch your sister, your father, your mother Your brother, whole lotta others Situation number one, that son of a gun Look what the brother has done He destroyed his credibility and the trust in me And he used to be down with the D His mind is hungry for a piece of the rock So he walks up and down the block Fiendin, schemin, no more is he dreamin His life is controlled by the force of beamin Scotty, he's gettin deeper in the sauce In other words, the brother is lost
[ CHORUS ] (At the F.B.I.) (Free Base Institute) That's where they go to get high (3x)
[ VERSE 2 ] She's outta control on the a.m. stroll 24-7 her body is sold She used to be the neighborhood fly girl But now the base pipe has entered her world I saw her one night in an alley slobbin the knob To her it's a full-time job The sucker with her was lookin for cheap sex For 50 cents she said I could be next So I snatched the bitch by her nappy weave And I said, "Girlfriend, please You better check into a rehabilitation Cause you're a fuckin crack patient" The bitch dissed me, swung and missed me Then she asked, could she kiss me It was the crack on full attack That had this beautiful sister trapped
[ CHORUS ]
[ VERSE 3 ] I'm makin a point While you smoke your joint While you point at each other Let my point reach you Crack is not only a ghetto drug It's a drug in the high class too Don't be fooled by the rich and famous Cause see, they will try to blame this On the people from the street, so they could keep Out of the media, but they can't sweep it Under the rug, they caught the drug bug And their own grave has been dug Then you read about it, a star in rehab Now it's time for me to take a stab At the sport figures, your idol, your hero After the game: "Yo, yo, let's get a kilo" AWOL from practice, didn't show for the game Because of the pipe and flame Substance abuse has made another star go under With the force of thunder
[ CHORUS ]
[ VERSE 4 ] Little Johnny and Tommy saw their mommy Hittin the pipe with her best friend Conny She looked like she suffered from malnutrition The kids are hungry, no food in the kitchen Their gear's been worn for a month and a half That was the last time they had a bath Cause the crack has the man command The welfare check to the dopeman
[ CHORUS ]
(Don't) (Don't) (Don't) (Don't do it) (Do it) (do it) (do it) Baby) (baby) (baby)
[ VERSE 5 ] I see baseheads in a state of their own In the zone where the baseheads roam And on the same block are the ones who sell to them So I walked up to money makin Slim And said, "Do you consider you're helpin get rid of Our brothers and sisters?" He did admit a Touch of guilt, but I saw it in his eyes That the brother was tellin me lies He said, "A man has to do what a man has to do" As he guzzled the Ol' E brew His point of view was, if he wasn't drug dealin He would be out there stealin or killin In a world of confusion it's no illusion Game of life, people are losin Boozin, cocaine crack abusin On the devil's side you are choosin
