[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

[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

[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!!
