[Intro]
The People's Rapper
[?] fucked up, boy
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Real n***as wake up like, "Shit, I gotta get it"
Real n***as never hesitate to put another real n***a in position (Woo)
Sucker ass n***a wanna talk about the money that he gettin'
But never reach back to the hood to show a n***a how he did it (Sucker ass n***a)
Real n***as stick to the code 'cause the dirty make a n***a stay humble
Real n***as know if you don't keep it one-hunnit gotta take it all from you
Real n***as only let other real n***as on the team
Real n***as [?] invest in the dream
Real n***as ain't just real on the camera
Real n***as real behind the scenes
Real n***as don't address beef in a post or meme (No)
Shots range out if it's [?], shots range out from the jump
Shot came out from the trunk, so many goddamn shots you would think you was drunk
That's where I'm from, street IQ at an all time high, so I know how to read n***as
Jealousy'll make a n***a kill all the scene n***as, die tryna feed n***as
Peep, n***a, real man rather die on his feet than live on his knees, n***a
The path of the streets, look where it leads n***as, to a cell where you can't feed your seed, n***a, fuck a weak n***a
I got a bag then I came back to teach n***as, that was the go
I'm back to control, back spittin' food for the soul, back showin' all sucker n***as, real n***as don't fold

[Chorus 1]
Woah, it's money over hoes
Never put the money on your soul, some shit ain't meant to be sold, n***a, stick to the code
Stick to the code, Stick to the code, yeah
No, we don't switch up, no, we don't bitch up
No, we don't fold, we stick to the code
My n***a, my n***a, he told me, he told me there's rules to this shit
And he ain't ever lie (La-da-da-da)
Stick to the code, no coming or going, you gotta stay down and stay true to this shit
He ain't ever lie (La-da-da-da) (Stick to the code)

[Verse 2]
I need a queen that got standards, I need a queen that got answers
I need a queen that got self-esteem and move like a G, like Afeni with the Black Panthers (Uh)
I need a queen that know that ass shots ain't more important than a kid Pampers
I need a queen that love me more than she loves cameras, fuck with me
I need a queen that sees snakes, I need a queen that see fake
N***as round me right now, and say they fake to they face before the shit be too late, uh
I need a queen that's gon' boss up, don't get on Facebook and talk tough
Live talkin' on your Live, see the bitch in public then soft up
I need a queen that's on queen shit, not a chick that say she need dick
So bad she fuckin' everybody, by the time she fuck me it don't mean shit
I need a queen that's gon' ride, need a queen by my side
Need a queen that got pride, she could chill with the squad and she don't fuck up the vibe, uh
I need a queen that's gon' class up, tell everybody, hold they glass up
Me and my queen throwin' money, while your girl throw that ass up
I need my queen to be wise, to be my second set of eyes
See, we treat queens how we 'posed to, I need a queen that's gon' stick to the code
[Interlude: [?]]
"I mean, you already told me the plan, so I'm really not tripping. I trust you. It's okay. I stay here, you go out, make the move, come back. I mean, we trust each other, right? We together. I don't care about them other g—I don't care about other chicks. They can look at you all they want to. You fine as hell, ha. They supposed to look, but you mine. You belong to me and I belong to you, and that's the code."

[Chorus (Condensed)/Collision]
My n***a, my n***a, he told me, he told me there's rules to this shit
And he ain't ever lie (La-da-da-da)
No coming or going, you gotta stay down and be true to this shit
And he ain't ever lie (La-da-da-da) (Stick to the code)

[Bridge]
Real n***as don't be on that ho shit and talkin' 'bout n***as on records (Uh)
Real bitches do not jump from n***a to n***a like we not gon' catch it (Uh)
Real men handle their business face-to-face and come with me
Real queens stay down and loyal, la-da-da-da (Stick to the code)

[Chorus]
Woah, it's money over hoes
Never put the money on your soul, some shit ain't meant to be sold, n***a, stick to the code
Stick to the code, Stick to the code, yeah
No, we don't switch up, no, we don't bitch up
No, we don't fold, we stick to the code
My n***a, my n***a, he told me, he told me there's rules to this shit
And he ain't ever lie (La-da-da-da)
Stick to the code, no coming or going, you gotta stay down and stay true to this shit
He ain't ever lie (La-da-da-da) (Stick to the code)
Stick to the code
