[Intro: Chuck D & China Mac]

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

One, two, three, four, five, six

One, two, three, four, five, six

One, two, three, four, five, six

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

Yo, ten

[Verse: China Mac]

Ayo, the game fucked up, shit is different now

Everybody snitching now, real shit they missing now

Shit, when I was coming up, there was rules to this shit

Younglings listened, old heads was dropping jewels of this shit

Then these lames caught a wave, started ruling these kids

Now it's time to take it back, start influencing shit

Number one, don't be on your 'gram with your gun

Don't think 12 out here watching your moves, then you dumb

Number two, don't be showing money on the 'net

Them jack boys see you pausing and they coming to collect

They gon' pull up where you rest, take the chains off your neck

Or they come and put up ransom, snatch your daughter off the steps

Number three, never judge a book by the cover

The loudest be soft as butter, the quiet be quick to slug you

The ones that you thought were brothers, they telling on one another

They acting like some gangsters but working with undercovers

Number four, never put no trust on a whore

And don't ever, ever, ever, ever run up in it raw

'Cause if you got some money with a good credit score

She gon' claim you got her pregnant, bring the baby to your door

Number five, pay attention where you go on live

'Cause the ops are watching close, they gon' catch you by surprise

Number six, don't be fighting over no bitch

Can't be mad when she the one that's out here looking for dick

Number seven, and this rule is so underrated

Gotta leave them drugs alone, can't be on point when you faded

'Cause when you leaning you can't pay attention to who's scheming

You won't even see it coming, you be stressed out on the scene

And number eight, don't ever burn a bridge you gotta cross

If you wanna win, gotta start thinking like a boss

Number nine should've been number one to me

If you ain't 'bout that life, stay the fuck off the street

And if you banging, don't be taking in nobody that's weak

'Cause when the feds come, they gon' be the first one to speak

Number ten, don't ever mix business with friends

Gotta keep it separate unless you gon' sever it

'Cause when that money come, that's when shit gon' get delicate

Be the one that closest to you that hit you with settlements

Follow these rules, you be moving like a G

And if not, stay the fuck away from me

Only real ones is getting close to the team

All of them already know what this really means

[Outro: Chuck D]

One, two, three, four, five, six

One, two
