Pause (12" version) - Run-D.M.C.
Written by：S. Brown
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
I think that worked man
I think that worked man
I think that worked man
Pause
Yeah pause this beat is d**e D
I'm tellin you this beat is d**e just slammin it's d**e
Well if it's d**e 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 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 RB sh*t
Pause pause one more time
Yeah do that do that
Now pause
Party looking more over is back
Wipe as f**king kids is moving crap
Land lord people like more we had
Real so ill by in the stab
Calvin in the city more they don't care
Stepback really just still in fair
Another day but you cannot here
Highly like a states yeah really rare
Take it over the garbage sh*t little bag
You don't wanna talk about in your rag
Feel it down retreat it down
Try to see life is so cloud
Come on over feel it
Just like you did
You just got ride
Who stole on bed
Smile for awhile
Like parent said
Don't run
Just pause
