The Code

[Lyrics from Live Performance at Glastonbury Festival]

Number one, don't stray off the mission

Wake up go get it everyday

If I let the wrong chef in the kitchen won't be no food on the plate

Number two, don't take it personal

There's always a [?] where you [?]

Don't get caught in your own trap

Every big dog has a bad day

Number three, take care of yourself

Be vigilant, mind who you help

You're there tryna bring 'em to heaven and they tryna drag you to hell

Number four, don't react to a fool

Nobody knows who's who

Never eat with the hyenas 'cause they will look at you as food

Number five, keep the business away from the family, entitlement is a sickness

It's meant to be you and then God and the secrets protecting the family business

Six, don't quit

Keep building it brick by brick

Takes a million to [?] to prison, a million to get you a house in the [?]

Stiletto-letto-letto-letto

Still step in and out of the ghetto

Wanna know how you do it, how you get so

Bad with it when you serve that [?]

Heart caved in when the star came in

International ting, she bad, so

Old school like retro

Two words mami you [?], let's go

How you so fly, depending on low-ride

Understand when she say she the best

Stiletto-letto-letto-letto

She's an international ting

State to state, roll deep with the homies

She's not messing with you phonies, oh please

Still ghetto-ghetto-ghetto-ghetto

Still [?] to the vessel

Through the roof and you not on my level

Still I own the [?] I'm special

One-of-one, original mink

International ting, presidential

High tea in the morning, ain't no

Rasta you see when the money keep calling

I been out soarin'

You can move the goal post, I still won't stop scoring

Stiletto-letto-letto-letto

She's an international ting

If you ever see a woman in her own league

Just know she a walking trophy

Still we know, we know-know who we are

Elegant but superstar

Hand over our ears like la-la-la, la-la-la-la

We know, we know-know who we are

Elegant but superstar

Hand over our ears like la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Number one, don't stray off the mission

Wake up go get it everyday

If I let the wrong chef in the kitchen won't be no food on the plate

Number two, don't take it personal

There's always a [?] where you [?]

Don't get caught in your own trap

Every big dog has a bad day

Number three, take care of yourself

Be vigilant, mind who you help

You're there tryna bring 'em to heaven and they tryna drag you to hell

Number four, don't react to a fool

Nobody knows who's who

Never eat with the hyenas 'cause they will look at you as food

Number five, keep the business away from the family, entitlement is a sickness

It's meant to be you and then God and the secrets protecting the family business

Six, don't quit

Keep building it brick by brick

Takes a million to [?] to prison, a million to get you a house in the [?]
