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
