[Chorus]

Stop!

Stop cracking

Stop cracking

Stop cracking

Stop!


[Verse 1]

Rumor has it on the street there's a killer at large

He's hanging on your ave and in the schoolyard

So you better be careful and watch your back

For this killer is a thriller and his name is crack

If he knocks on your door, don't let him in

'Cause he'll scramble your mind and leave you skinny as a pin

And we'll be the commentators here to set things straight

I'm gonna tell you about this killer before it's too late

Stop cracking

Stop!


[Verse 2]

Crack is wack, that's a fact and it's just like that

And if you bought it, go get your money back

And while the dealer is chilling, you are illing

Doing anything just to gеt that feeling

[?] buy him some

But don't you buy him more 'cause you'rе twice as dumb

Stop cracking

Stop!


[Verse 3]

I wanna say something light on all you fools

Who'd rather crack it up instead of going to school

But I don't know why you'd rather die

Sucking on a glass pipe for a one-minute high

You go down to the store for your favorite snack

It's a tiny little morsel and its name is crack

But crack is a coke that clouds your mind

One day you're Dr. Jekyll, the next you're Mr. Hyde


[Chorus]

Stop!

Stop cracking

Stop cracking

Stop cracking

Stop!

Yo, TRT, there's no holding back

Just get on the mic and rap about crack!

Well


[Verse 4]

There's a issue about crack that you can't compare

To Tylenol, Anacin or even Bayer

'Cause it has a side effect that you can't neglect

It'll cause you to lose your self-respect

Once you lost that, you've lost it all

In the alleys and the gutters you begin to crawl

Then you say to yourself, what am I to do?


[Chorus]

Stop cracking!

Stop cracking

Stop cracking

Stop!

Stop cracking


[Interlude]

Yo, homeboy, I got the deffest crack, man, check out this rock

Word, man, that's big enough for the both of us, homeboy

Yo, I need some money, man

Yo, I ain't got it like that right now, man

I could front it to you though, man

Nah, man no [?], I need the bank

Ah man, why you wanna front on me like that for, man, I'm your favorite customer, man

Nope


[Chorus]

Stop!

Stop cracking

Stop cracking

Stop cracking

Stop!


[Verse 5]

You sold all your clothes and your Walkman too

For a candy-coated chemical inside of a tube

But now your name is beggin' Betty, you heard what I said

You're characterized and described as a local crackhead

I knew this girl named Mary, who lived on the block

Who spent her whole paycheck on a little crack rock

She started lying, and stealing, the girl was a vamp

She was a slave to the genie, in the magic crackland


[Chorus]

Stop cracking

Stop!


[Verse 6]

I saw story on 20/20 that I thought was a joke

They say that crack is the fast-food version of coke

Kids are drawn to it like a dog to a bone

It turns your brain to silly putty, and they're crack [clone?]


[Chorus]

Stop cracking

Stop cracking

Stop!


[Verse 7]

Crack is something that you should not use

You'll be confused and in the end you'll lose

Homeboy was cool, but now he's dumb

Making all his money on a little crack crumb

He's the dealer of death, you'll need protection

It's leading you in the wrong direction

He's a pusher, a faker, a candy-crack maker

If you're hooked on crack, you'll see him now or later

Stop!


[Verse 8]

You think you're hittin' the big time 'cause you're selling that junk

But to me you're nothing but a ten-cent punk

You should have a real job, be a teacher or a plumber

But instead, you'd rather be a dumb crack-runner

And only thing that supportin' is the crack you sell

For the lives that buy, it's a living hell

Well this is not your concern, money's what you yearn

But the problems of your future are the lessons not learned

Stop!


[Verse 9]

Now if you're hooked on crack, this is what you should do

Take a walk up the block to the avenue

Go right into your neighborhood center

Here's a program that you should enter

The drug rehabilitation program

Listen up, 'cause we got a lot to say, my man

There's crack crack units, they're crackin' down

On all the wack crackers in every town

So get your life together in a positive light

And listen to the mighty as we rock the mic


[Outro]

And stop cracking!

Why don't you stop cracking?

Why don't you stop cracking?

Why don't you stop cracking?

Why don't you stop cracking?

Stop!

Why don't you stop cracking?

Why don't you stop cracking?

Why don't you stop cracking?

Why don't you stop cracking?

Stop!

Why don't you stop cracking?

Why don't you stop cracking?

Why don't you stop cracking?

Why don't you stop cracking?

Stop!

Why don't you stop cracking?

Why don't you stop cracking?

Why don't you stop cracking?

Why don't you stop cracking?
