[guru] You ain't livin right punkI'll have to school you Not rule youbut I'll say yo you fool yourself When you try to deny and defy written laws This means your cause has lost Think about ittake the timeand even ponder longer Then let your mind start to wander Go black and track the factsabout all of your mistakes It only takes to one to make fate Pick up your lifeclean up your actand get a legal plan You canor be an evil man Caughtand then you claim you're not responsible The choice was yourswhen the fun's gone you will realize That you don't get somethin for nothinwhy you bluffin? Others even brothers are stuffin their pockets With honest cashthey'll laughso don't knock it Jock itcause the guru must stop it I'll jab yousmack youcrack -- 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 Gonenever to see or be the same again Friendcause the time you spend Bringin down yourselfbringin down the pace Bringin down your friendsbringin 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 boyyou will get out of it The energy released comes backthere 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 thoughtof what'll happen You're nappinyou're gonna fall off the map 'n' Lie outand cry outwhy? you got the short end of the stick Cause you're too quick to run tricks Open your mindwiden your sightget out of your rut Moveand 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 Chillcause you know the chosen youth will Take overand control the whole so don't blow it Know itcause the guru must show it I'll teach youreachin each so you're enlightened Emcees are frightenedby 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 Friendcause the time you spend Bringin down yourselfbringin down the pace Bringin down your friendsbringin 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 lameI'll have to end you Straight to the gate of fateso you can claim your doom Will you decay as you pay in repentance I light my sentence like incense Breathe inexpel your fears as you marvel Heed what I feedyou won't starve you'll make it But if you don'tyou will be finished You'll dissapearyou will diminish Never to see or be the same again Friendcause the time you spend Bringin down yourselfbringin down the pace Bringin down your friendsbringin down the race Will leave you bugged and upset Cause homeboy life is cause and effect Cause and effect!! * primo scratches * [guru] Once againpremier and the guru It's like that
