Gang Starr - Cause And Effect lyrics

Your rating:
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!!
 * Primo scratches *
 [Guru]
 Once again, Premier and the Guru
 It's like that
