It's the rules of engagement nigga,

What ya'll know about that shit?

Niggas I been in this game for years,

Makin' me the animal that I is.

Theres rules to this shit.

Remember these crack commandments,

That is what I call the rules of engagement.

You should master this,

Take notes you bastards;

Rule 1;

Never outshine the master,

If you oppose a threat he gon' kill you faster.

Rule 2;

Conceal your intentions always,

Nowadays niggas either snitchin and catch phrase.

Rule 3;

Always say less than necessary,

Them niggas that talk too much often get buried.

Rule 4;

I know you heard this before,

Push your enemy totally, hail mary's and rosaries.

Rule 5;

Pose as a friend, work as a spy,

Take 'em to get high, then put it between his eyes.

Rule 6;

Stir up water to catch fish,

This here is my favourite, ain't no need in explainin' it.

Rule 7;

Keep others suspended in terror,

Be unpredictable, in other words gain the advantage.

Rule 8;

Play a sucka to catch a sucka,

Seem dubmer than your mark muther-fucker so you can touch him.

Rule 9;

Know who you dealin' with,

Don't offend no wrong niggas, get your family killed.

And rule 10 shoulda been number 1 to me,

Play all the way to the end without gettin' your hands dirty.

It's the rules... of engagement niggas
