Trackmasters

[Verse 1]
Yo, son it ain’t good to do good in front of niggas in the hood, blaow
You know better than to do good now (Wooo)
Lil niggas [?] [?] fours and five
Big niggas [?] six, sevens and eight
My people's upstate, holdin' mad weight
I'm from the live state, excuse me the tri-state where most of these country niggas come back to buy weight
I’m bein' modest when I sayin' I’m the hottest
Fuck bein the hardest, I'ma get paid regardless
My cash flow fast like I still sling blow
Still I stay on the low, hole under my dough
Stack all my chips evеn the ones from the shows
Man, еvery now and then, I like to sip a lil mo
Make small talk and hit the telly with the hoes
If you ain't know, [?] now you know
When I f-l-o
W, I steal the s-h-o
W, [?]

[Chorus]
Rule number one, don't go against the grain
Rule number two, give respect where respect due
Rule number three, if you get knock, play games and say names
Fo-five'll tear you out the frame
Rule number one, don't go against the grain
Rule number two, give respect where respect due
Rule number three, if you get knock, play games and say name
Fo-five'll tear you out the frame
[Verse 2]
Yo, it's funny how niggas talk 'bout they money then when you run in they crib
They ask dumb questions like, "Can I live?"
What? you ain't know I get busy? my style the bomb-diggy
I show no pity, my flow is so witty, whoever rock after me
Sound so shitty, split the Philly, hit the mall, get jiggy
Rest in peace to Biggie and all them other thugs who passed from the city
I get to the nitty-gritty, some of ya'll act silly
[?] from the eight-fiddy, doin' a buck fiddy
From Queens to the city, I'ma wheelie
I made that rule, you take [?] then pass the illy
A buster said "it wasn't Philly"
I sip Cristy ‘till I’m past pissy and dizzy
Fore you niggas ask "who is he" he's 50
It wouldn't be wise to go against me, you [?]
This is not a game, man
Let's do this, man

[Chorus]
Rule number one, don't go against the grain
Rule number two, give respect where respect due
Rule number three, if you get knock, play games and say names
Fo-five'll tear you out the frame
Rule number one, don't go against the grain
Rule number two, give respect where respect due
Rule number three, if you get knock, play games and say names
Fo-five'll tear you out the frame
[Verse 3]
Yo, you ain't got to like this or love this but you got to live with it
You wanna front? go 'head and front just don't think you can't get it
Let the world be my witnesses I give niggas the business
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference
Yeah I'm off the hook and I ain't give a fuck [?]
Lyrically what I am is gifted
Niggas be clowns, frontin' like they be ill only [?] [?] to dye they fuckin' hair like Dru Hill
[?] [?] got somethin' in common
See thug niggas love us like they love they bails-bondsman, dyin' ain't
Never been my main concern, shit, I done felt how a slug burn, I still won't learn
Catch the punchline, you rap niggas [?] [?] to keep the peace with me 'cause you can't afford beef with me
Beef? you don't want none
Don't start none, you just a small player in this game, play your part, son

[Chorus]
Rule number one, don't go against the grain
Rule number two, give respect where respect due
Rule number three, if you get knock, play games and say names
Fo-five'll tear you out the frame (Yeah, uh)
Rule number one, don't go against the grain
Rule number two, give respect where respect due
Rule number three, if you get knock, play games and say names
Fo-five'll tear you out the frame
