There is definitely a Wailers influence on this track! That's understandable as it is produced by Aston Barrett Jr. son of Bob Marley Wailers Bassist and Nephew of the drummer Carlton Barrett. Three Cs was penned and performed by multi-award winning vocalist and song writer Wayne Stoddart.

Lyrics
Three Cs
Chorus
For everthing in life there are three Cs
CAUSE, CONSEQUENCES AND COST
For everthing in life there are three Cs
CAUSE, CONSEQUENCES AND COST
CAUSE; the thing that make you do that thing
CONSEQUENCE; that is the wages of your sin
COST; the next best thing you sacrafice
So you make sure that thing is not your life!
Verse 1
Remember what your mamma taught you
Remember what your daddy said
Remember the Massiah's teachings
Hold those teachings in your head
Chorus
For everthing in life there are three Cs
CAUSE, CONSEQUENCES AND COST
For everthing in life there are three Cs
CAUSE, CONSEQUENCES AND COST
CAUSE the thing that make you do that thing
CONSEQUENCE that is the wages of your sin
COST the next best thing you sacrafice
So you make sure that thing is not your life!
Vamp:
Look at the prize don't complicate your mind
Look at the prize stay between the yellow lines

Short chorus
For everthing in life there are three Cs

For everthing in life there are three Cs
CAUSE, CONSEQUENCES AND COST
Verse 2
Look at the birds and the trees
Look at the flowers and bees
They worship in times and seasons
They don't even need a reason
Now we ought to learn from creation
Unite this generation
With love and harmony
We come to gather and let us be free
