Cause and effect
It can be tricky
So let's take a moment to learn
Eat a cinnamon bun
And you get all sticky
Touch a hot stove and get burned

Drink a lot of water
And you'll have to pee
You can see cause and effect in gravity
The moon goes round, the tides get pulled
Eat too much get overfull

That's all cause and effect, you see
Now let's look at what is not
When you go out for a walk at night
Put on a hoody and get shot

Put on a hoody and get shot
That's not a congruous thought
Put on a hoody and get shot
Cause and effect, it is not

One thing happens
Then another thing happens
No, that's not enough
Does it happen every time?
Are there intervening factors?
I know this concept's tough

If you're a racist jerk and you carry a gun
And you go out looking for anyone
On whom to inflict your impotent rage
The cause and effect is plain as day

His actions were predictable
46 calls to 9-1-1
A history of violence 
The hoody didn't fire the gun
