Act hard if you want niggas goin' for your neck, yeah
(Niggas goin' for ya neck doe)
Cause and effect (yeah)
They ain't gotta like it, they gonna respect
We was just young niggas chilling in the 'jects
(just some young niggas)
We was just young niggas throwing up sets (yeah)
Make a hater upset
With your lady come and get her (gang)
Uptown nigga Castle Hill, Throggs Neck (uptown nigga)
With some wild niggas in the projects (with some wild niggas)
Can't focus on the fact that I'm down right now (down right now)
Young niggas up next (up next)
Nigga said he want more, still ended up less
Cause and effect
He said he want it all
He said he wanted to ball, and get respect
Cause and effect
So the nigga made a call to a nigga that he knew who had a job (whoa)
Figured he would set that nigga up and get him robbed (yeah)
Followed him to an alley like a lob
Didn't know he with the mob
Before he pulled that shit he should've stretched
We just young niggas chasing up a check
Cause and effect
Where that nigga front, where that nigga got left (yeah yeah yeah)
Cause and effect
Nigga
It could all be over in a second (it could all be over)
Cause and effect
I ain't have to say it but you know what I meant, yeah
Cause and effect
And oh lord it don't make sense
How them boys get to ball from the bench
Get applause from the frauds in attendance
At all your events
They want your attention then on to the next
Cause and effect
Had to pause for effect
You forget what's going on for a second
The landlord calls for the rent
But it's gone
Spent it all on a lick
All alone in the trenches
And haven't gone home in a bit
Shit is different
I'm try'na make a million
F*cked around and made a mess
Cause and effect
Shit is hectic
My nigga got arrested
Lately I ain't been getting rest
Cause and effect
The detective said he fit the description of a suspect in a crime
Told him he could pick up ten less he dropped a dime
Came time to sign on that dotted line
He ripped the papers up and told 'em
They out of they f*cking minds
We was young niggas try'na catch a rep
Cause and effect (yeah)
Rather pray for forgiveness than live with regret
Cause and effect
These days ain't really a whole 'lotta real left, no
Cause and effect
Act hard if you want niggas goin' for your neck, yeah
(Niggas goin' for ya neck doe)
Cause and effect (yeah)
I done cried so many tears I ain't got none left
I just put my foot on they neck
Try'na face your fears
Better watch your step
You ain't promised your next breath
Cause and effect
Almost there, I ain't there yet
Never had to make it rain for a bitch to get wet
Busy making change no time to make threats
I just make one call to the set
That's cause and effect
