Rules Of Engagement

(album: The Mirror - 2009)

It's the rules of engagement nigga,
What ya'll know about that shit?

Niggas I been in this game for years,
Making me the animal that I is.
There's 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 snitching 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 explaining it.

Rule 7:
Keep others suspended in terror,
Be unpredictable, in other words gain the advantage.

Rule 8:
Play a sucker to catch a sucker,
Seem dumber than your mark mother-fucker so you can touch him.

Rule 9:
Know who you dealing with,
Don't offend no wrong niggas, get your family killed.

And rule 10 should've been number 1 to me,
Play all the way to the end without getting your hands dirty.

It's the rules of engagement niggas
