[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
