[Verse 1]
So if you wanna be like me
Here's the rules, one, two, three
You gotta find a killer band
Then bust your ass, you understand?

[Refrain]
You gotta rock
You gotta roll
You gotta shock
And lose control

[Verse 2]
Four, five, six, and then you lose your mind
Collect your chicks and now you're doin' fine
Be sure you find a girl from East LA
'Cause she will never ever let you pay

[Pre-Chorus]
So you can rock
So you can roll
So you can shock
And lose control (C'mon, boys)

[Chorus]
These are the rules of the road
These are the rules of the road
If you wanna be hot? If you wanna be cool?
You only get one shot, you gotta follow the rules
(These are) The rules of the road
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Before you even start to board
That private jet that you can't afford
You gotta buy a mansion and flashy car
In case you actually do become a star

[Pre-Chorus]
And then you rock
Then you can roll
Then you can shock
And lose control (Woo)

[Chorus]
These are the rules of the road
These are the rules of the road
If you wanna be hot? If you wanna be cool?
You only get one shot, gotta follow the rules
(These are) The rules of the road

[Interlude]
I've been at this game for a long time and I'm gonna share some wisdom with you
Rule number one, always get the money (Money)
Rule number two, remember to always get the money
And rule number three, never forget to remember to always get the money (Money)
If it is in a glass, drink it
If it is offered to you, take it
If you can drive it, drive it hard
And if you follow these simple rules, by the age of twenty-seven
Well, you're gonna die, ah, hahaha
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
These are the rules of the road
These are the rules of the road
If you wanna be hot? If you wanna be cool?
You only get one shot, you gotta follow the rules
(These are) The rules of the road
These are the rules of the road
These are the rules of the road

[Outro]
If you hear my words and you heed them well
You'll be heading down that road to hell
These are the rules, huh
