Cause And Effect
(专辑: No More Mr. Nice Guy - 1989)
[Guru] 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
