Gang Starr - Cause & Effect Lyrics
[guru]You aint livin right punk, Ill have to school youNot rule you, but Ill say yo you fool yourselfWhen you try to deny and defy written lawsThis means your cause has lostThink about it, take the time, and even ponder longerThen let your mind start to wanderGo black and track the facts, about all of your mistakesIt only takes to one to make fatePick up your life, clean up your act, and get a legal planYou can, or be an evil manCaught, and then you claim youre not responsibleThe choice was yours, when the funs gone you will realizeThat you dont get somethin for nothin, why you bluffin?Others even brothers are stuffin their pocketsWith honest cash, theyll laugh, so dont knock itJock it, cause the guru must stop itIll jab you, smack you, crack -- youre demolishedYou must acknowledge -- life is like a college in itselfGet a degree in realityOr you will be upon it like a lawn youll be walked onGone, never to see or be the same againFriend, cause the time you spendBringin down yourself, bringin down the paceBringin down your friends, bringin down the raceWill have your life in a wreckAnd homeboy life is cause and effect* primo scratches *[guru]Exactly what you put in boy, you will get out of itThe energy released comes back, there is no doubt of itSo when you thrive to connive and contrive foolish deedsThis means youll bleed from greedDig the rhyme dig the thought, of whatll happenYoure nappin, youre gonna fall off the map nLie out, and cry out, why? you got the short end of the stickCause youre too quick to run tricksOpen your mind, widen your sight, get out of your rutMove, and get the lead out of your buttCause you cant live without a plan to get freshed chumpAnd you shouldnt stand to letAnything sway you from the path you know is truthfulChill, cause you know the chosen youth willTake over, and control the whole so dont blow itKnow it, cause the guru must show itIll teach you, reachin each so youre enlightenedEmcees are frightened, by what I write in my songsCause I express what I manifestWhile some of you fall down to the ground with breakdownsNever to see or be the same againFriend, cause the time you spendBringin down yourself, bringin down the paceBringin down your friends, bringin down the raceWill have your life in a wreckAnd homeboy life is cause and effect* primo scratches *[guru]Youre still playin games lame, Ill have to end youStraight to the gate of fate, so you can claim your doomWill you decay as you pay in repentanceI light my sentence like incenseBreathe in, expel your fears as you marvelHeed what I feed, you wont starve youll make itBut if you dont, you will be finishedYoull dissapear, you will diminishNever to see or be the same againFriend, cause the time you spendBringin down yourself, bringin down the paceBringin down your friends, bringin down the raceWill leave you bugged and upsetCause homeboy life is cause and effectCause and effect!!* primo scratches *[guru]Once again, premier and the guruIts like that
