Retrieve the past, like a prayer, bringing it back, into the light, what was yesterday, will reform today, to retrieve, lost life, lost loves, retrieve, lost words, ideas, overcome, unconscious,
Conscious, out of the darkness, into consciousness, made conscious, out of the darkness, into …
Afros…. yeahhh
Afros! yeahhh
Brothers be out there doin crack… nooooooo
They be doin dope… nooooooo
They be gangbangin! nooooooo
All them brothers need to just
Pause
Yeah i’m with that
Here comes the afros, and the forty ounce crew
Who say slowly but surely, we gonna turn the mother out
We got more, in store, young ladies on the floor, so cool out
Pause
Intro, which means i start it
In other words, herbs departed
Pause, stop for the cause
Get up, get down, you get yours
Chill, no time to get ill
Word to herb — yeah it’s the will of god
So whassup hobbes?
Just jock, clock, rock, and don’t stop but
Pause
Pause, pause for the cause, get yours
But don’t break laws
Quit, quit it, forget it
Pause, say your way with it
Pause, if you did it, admit it
Cause, you shouldn’ta did it
Next time, you think of doin a crime
Pause, and remember this rhyme
Pause for the cause, cause broken laws
Are just like broken jaws
They take a long time to heal
I’m for real, and i know the deal
Look it over, investigate
Evaluate, think!
Life is wrong, and full of flaws
Before you break laws just pause!
I think that worked man (4x)
Pause
Yeah pause, this beat is dope d
I’m tellin you, this beat is dope, just slammin, it’s dope
Well if it’s dope, i hope it’s not crack
Or coke, or nuttin like somethin you ever smoke
And if they offer you some say no
Or pause
The reason i wrote this rhyme, is not to climb
But just to tell all mankind
That the use and abuse of drugs — will what?
Will, blow, your, mind
Like dough makes bread, it goes straight to your head
You’re misled and then you’re dead
Now that’s not fly, when you die
On a high
Like a trip, oooh, you make me sick
Ill, lookin like doo doo on a stick
You don’t have to be a vic
Life is like a flick, so pause
Pause, p-pause, pause, p-p-pause
Alright y’all, now that you understand
My man run never ran
I’m gonna take this mic yo my hand
And hand this to the one man band
Now pause, now pause
I’m jay, i make up the trey
Now check out the dance that i display
It’s called the pause
A new thing, on the dancefloor
First you move, then you stop
Combine the hustle, foxtrot, pop and lock
Put em all together why because
It’s called the pause
Slammin, the dance is slammin
Pause, the people are jammin
Stop again, back to the groove
I show you how to move
Pause
It’s simple, just like stop and go
You can pause on the fast or slow
Participate, won’t you all get down
Here’s a solo from my homeboy stanley brown
Ahh yeah, i like this r&b shit…
Pause, pause, one more time!
Yeah, do that, do that…
Now pause!
You know I got to get away
To find some peace and sanity
I’ve been playing hide-and-seek too long
Shaking, making, everybody waking
Setting the hi-fi bleed
Keeping me back
While you’re spinning my track
That’ll knock you off your feet
Monkey see what monkey do
But I’m a monkey telling you
I just think that we should take a break
Tickity-tock the clock
With the hip-hop
And alonestar backing me up
We won’t stop
I gotta be searching for my peace of mind
Now let the track rewind
And play, let the music play
It came, so let the music say what it feels
Shame, shame it took too long
To see that you were wrong
Now turn the song back on
This is Alonestar coming at you
With a new style
Kicking dust
Ready to bust
It’s Urban Angel
Artistic, flipping the script
Who d’you really want to get it with?
Ed and Alonestar
We’re like live wires sparking
Ready to blow
We’ve already sown our seeds
We’re just waiting to grow – blow
We’re gonna lift you like a shock to your body
Metaphorical speech when we come and see
You ducking for cover
Sheeran Lock coming ready to rock
With Urban Angel and Alonestar
And Ed – keep it locked
Let the beat pump
Drop the bass but don’t stop
We’re kicking the sound
Let the bass bins pound
We’re gonna roll
Can you feel me now with my body?
Get down to the sound
It’s Ed Sheeran in the place
And Alonestar rising up
We gotta rise up
I said rise up
And play, let the music play
It came, so let the music say what it feels
Shame, shame it took so long
To see that you were wrong
Now turn the song back on
