| You ain't livin right punk, i'll have to school you | |
| Not rule you, but i'll say yo you fool yourself | |
| When you try to deny and defy written laws | |
| This means your cause has lost | |
| Think about it, take the time, and even ponder longer | |
| Then let your mind start to wander | |
| Go black and track the facts, about all of your mistakes | |
| It only takes to one to make fate | |
| Pick up your life, clean up your act, and get a legal plan | |
| You can, or be an evil man | |
| Caught, and then you claim you're not responsible | |
| The choice was yours, when the fun's gone you will realize | |
| That you don't get somethin for nothin, why you bluffin? | |
| Others even brothers are stuffin their pockets | |
| With honest cash, they'll laugh, so don't knock it | |
| Jock it, cause the guru must stop it | |
| I'll jab you, smack you, crack -- you're demolished | |
| You must acknowledge -- life is like a college in itself | |
| Get a degree in reality | |
| Or you will be upon it like a lawn you'll be walked on | |
| Gone, never to see or be the same again | |
| Friend, cause the time you spend | |
| Bringin down yourself, bringin down the pace | |
| Bringin down your friends, bringin down the race | |
| Will have your life in a wreck | |
| And homeboy life is cause and effect | |
| * primo scratches * | |
| [guru] | |
| Exactly what you put in boy, you will get out of it | |
| The energy released comes back, there is no doubt of it | |
| So when you thrive to connive and contrive foolish deeds | |
| This means you'll bleed from greed | |
| Dig the rhyme dig the thought, of what'll happen | |
| You're nappin, you're gonna fall off the map 'n' | |
| Lie out, and cry out, why? you got the short end of the stick | |
| Cause you're too quick to run tricks | |
| Open your mind, widen your sight, get out of your rut | |
| Move, and get the lead out of your butt | |
| Cause you can't live without a plan to get freshed chump | |
| And you shouldn't stand to let | |
| Anything sway you from the path you know is truthful | |
| Chill, cause you know the chosen youth will | |
| Take over, and control the whole so don't blow it | |
| Know it, cause the guru must show it | |
| I'll teach you, reachin each so you're enlightened | |
| Emcees are frightened, by what i write in my songs | |
| Cause i express what i manifest | |
| While some of you fall down to the ground with breakdowns | |
| Never to see or be the same again | |
| Friend, cause the time you spend | |
| Bringin down yourself, bringin down the pace | |
| Bringin down your friends, bringin down the race | |
| Will have your life in a wreck | |
| And homeboy life is cause and effect | |
| * primo scratches * | |
| [guru] | |
| You're still playin games lame, i'll have to end you | |
| Straight to the gate of fate, so you can claim your doom | |
| Will you decay as you pay in repentance | |
| I light my sentence like incense | |
| Breathe in, expel your fears as you marvel | |
| Heed what i feed, you won't starve you'll make it | |
| But if you don't, you will be finished | |
| You'll dissapear, you will diminish | |
| Never to see or be the same again | |
| Friend, cause the time you spend | |
| Bringin down yourself, bringin down the pace | |
| Bringin down your friends, bringin down the race | |
| Will leave you bugged and upset | |
| Cause homeboy life is cause and effect | |
| Cause and effect!! | |
