Pause Lyrics by J Dilla

Welcome 2 Detroit (The 20th Anniversary Edition)

2001

[Intro: Frank]
Uh, bounce

[Verse 1: Frank]
F, for fly gun holder, money folder
Motorola StarTAC when it's time to call back
R, for the ruff, rugged, and raw way
This nigga Jay it's a game but he don't play
A, for all the chicks that got did
In the penthouse suite on top of my mom's crib
N, it's nonsense, you'll never get in
It's nonsense that you would think that you would ever get in
K, for the cutie crushin' that we do
We keep 'em too, we got two for you
N, I knew that you would do it again
Nasty ain't it? Brand new shit with a blend
D, to all my Detroit Play Ballers
And I can't forget the phat bootie ballaholics
A, for awesome amounts of dope
One ounce of grass and a phat ass fo sho
N, 'cause we know to cause neck injuries
Misplaced your vertabrae about seven degrees
K, for the kick ass rhymes that I wrote
Karate choppin' everybody in the place in the throat

[Chorus: Frank]
Pause, when you bump this in your whip
Pause, 'cause you might bust your shit
Pause, 'cause you know it's Frank N Dank
Pause, take a sip of your drank
Everybody there's money to make
We be the first ones out the gate
'Cause you know we're rockin' it
'Cause Dank is about to spit

[Verse 2: Dank]
Grab the rhythm, who got your city on lock?
I'ma give you the key, follow my path y'all
Take a ride with Dee, I'ma spit these bars most causally
Check me out, yo
I'm from the 313, chillin' with the shawty
You catch two in your body
Uh, yeah, it get sicker than that
A contract on your head, it get slick like that
What's the deal with that? You ain't real with that
And if you try to pull a gat, you get blast like that
I'ma break it on down for the reason I spray
Uh yo, what's the reason to get money, son?
What's the reason for gettin blowed, son?
What's the reason for fuckin' hoes, done?
I'ma thoroughbred so I'ma do what I do

[Verse 3: Frank-n-Dank]
Doin' it too, brotha, I'ma do it with you
I'ma grab these things and get to bustin' at dudes
Yo, it's kinda rude to be mistrusting these fools
Look at their eyes they lusting to be bustin' their tools
I don't lose, leave snake nigga abused
Timeout for these niggas who ain't bringin' the real
I'ma flip a few guns, let 'em see the steal
Ready to cock, plus yo, they ready to rip
The whole crew gets down, they ain't ready for this

[Chorus: Frank]
Pause, when you bump this in your ride
You can ride get all the fine ladies inside
Pause, I see you doin' it y'all
Pause, come on, you doin it y'all
Pause, I say—
