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 youre not responsible

The choice was yours, when the funs gone you will realize

That you dont get somethin for nothin, why you bluffin?

Others even brothers are stuffin their pockets

With honest cash, theyll laugh, so dont knock it

Jock it, cause the guru must stop it

Ill jab you, smack you, crack -- youre 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 youll 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

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 youll bleed from greed

Dig the rhyme dig the thought, of what will happen

You're nappin, youre gonna fall off the map n

Lie out, and cry out, why? you got the short end of the stick

'Cause youre 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 cant live without a plan to get freshed chump

And you shouldnt 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 dont blow it

Know it, cause the guru must show it

Ill teach you, reachin each so youre 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

You're still playin games lame, Ill 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 wont starve youll make it

But if you dont, you will be finished

Youll 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!!
