Cause And Effect - GangStarr

[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

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 th
