De La Soul - Say No Go
Now let's get right on down to the skit A baby is brought into a world of pits And if it could've talked that soon In the delivery room It would've asked the nurse for a hit The reason for this? The mother is a jerk Excuse me, junkie Which brought the work of the old Into a new life What a way But this what a way Has been a way of today Anyway Push couldn't shove me to understand a path to a basehead Consumer should erase it in the first wave Cause second wave forms believers And believers will walk to it then even talk to it and say... (You got the body now you want my soul) Nah, can't have none of that, tell 'em what to say Mase...
(Say No Go)
Nah, no my brother No my sister Try to get hip to this Word, word to the mother I'll tell the truth so bear my witness Fly like birds of a feather Drugs are like pleather You don't wanna wear it No need to ask that question, just don't mention You know what the answer is...
Now I never fancied Nancy But the statement she made held a plate of weight I even stressed it to Wade
Did he take any heed?
Nah, the boy was hooked, you could've phrased the word "Base" And the kid just shook In his fashion class once an A now an F The rock rules him now The only designs left Were once clothes made for Oshkosh Has converted to nothing but stonewash
Now hopping in a barrel is a barrel of fun But don't hop in if you want to be down, son Cause that could mean down and out as an action What does it lead to? Dum-da-dum-dum People say what have I done for all my years My tears show my hard-earned work I heard shoving is worse than pushing But I'd rather know a shover than a pusher Cause a pusher's a jerk
(Say No Go)
Believe it or not the plot forms a fee more that charity But the course doesn't coincide with the ride of insanity Is it a chant that slants the soul to fill for it? I know it's the border that flaunts the order to kill for it
Standing, scheming on a young one Taking his time, eight-ball for a cool pool player Racked it all, tried to break, miscued Got beat by the boy in blue Next day you're out by the spot once more Looking hard for a crack in the hole I ask what's the fix for the ill stuff Word to the Dero The answer should have been no
Run me a score from the Funky Four Plus One More (It's the joint) Rewind that back This is the age for a new stage of fiend Watch how the zombies scream It's the crack Plain is plain it should explain it from the start Behind the ideals of cranking up the heart Now the base claims shop over every park
(Say No Go) (Say No Go) (Say No Go) (Say No Go) (Don’t Even Think About it)

🚨Hey tumblr- PSA for those in need of Narcan 🚨
I went to CVS today and saw a sign advertising that they have Narcan.
I always carry one in my purse but it’s definitely expired. So I asked about it and they said it’s covered by most insurance companies but there’s a possibility there could be a copay.
It’s eighty something dollars out of pocket.
So my insurance covered it with no co-pay.
My mom wanted one too. Her insurance had a copay.
and after taxes it came to thirty something dollars.
I couldn’t help but think that this is obviously a barrier for marginalized populations (and they tend to be the most in need of Narcan in the first place.)
That being said if you need free Narcan visit: https://nextdistro.org/naloxone
They will mail it to you for free.
All you have to do is watch a short video and answer some simple questions about the video.
If you’re not sure if you should carry Narcan: you should. You never know when it could be the difference between life and death.
Harm reduction is life saving!!!
Help reduce opioid overdose death and always carry Narcan with you.
Hope this helps! Happy scrolling!

i love graffiti. "comics and jazz are the only american art forms" you forgot graffiti. did you remember graffiti? That art form birthed in Philly and NYC in the early 70s by poor Black kids. that art form that spread all over the world and influenced so many. that's used without irony in commercials when they're trying to appeal to a "young urban" customer.
did you forget graffiti? that racism broken windows theory victim? that reach the establishment takes claiming that it's exclusively violent gang members throwing up those full-color pieces and wildstyle tags in the middle of the night outsmarting fifty security cameras because the billboard was ugly anyway. as if, even if it was, it wouldn't be impressive as all hell. risking brutality and fall damage so your art can occupy the space a gentrified condo named something like "Coluumna" took away from you. proving that despite only assholes affording to live here anymore there's still a soul beneath it. an animal with dripping stripes and teeth that go clack-clack tsssss

Underlined or crossed out. That’s going to haunt Kendall for the rest of his life, he only ever wanted his father to give him a solid answer on what he should be and if he was good and even in death Logan can’t. And now he’s going to spend the rest of his life trying to prove he should have been underlined when he was really crossed out.
