[Intro]
The 10 black commandments, what?
This is for my Coons, my n******gs, my negroes, my negroids
My n**lets, my jiggaboos, my black spooks
My n***as from the projects, my n***as in the subarbs, my african americans...
And everybody with big lips and wide noses...
[Verse 1]
I been a n***a for years! they see us as animals
Its rules to this skin, i wrote us a manual
A step by step booklet that ima spit, but if you ain't black just chill and lay back
Number One: Dont forget where you from
You look dumb tryna run to slums you shunned
Pretending to be whiter won't bring you that high in this white mans world so you better act wise
Number 2: keep your crew close to you, ya need friends to back you up when life jacks you up
Pimps smacks you up, to get faster bucks, you can get caught slippin, still have some luck
Number 3: Never trust nobody, ya main homie start cappin, with the mask and the ratchet
Just to make some cash quick, so dont share ya business and always watch ya back kid
Number 4: I know ya heard this before, ya gotta talk white if ya wanna get by
And Number 5: Work extra hard just to blow up
Making above slightly average ain't gone cut
And 6: ya got bad credit? dont be lending
Ya think n***as will pay ya back huh forget it
7: this rule is so underrated, keep ya real life and work life completely separated
They got access to twitter and facebook, so watch what ya post up homie cuz they look
And 8: keep ya mouth shut mind ya business, if n***as think ya snitching you'll be another statistic
Number 9: should have been number 1 to me, even if you ain't speeding dont argue with police
Dont matter who's right honkies dont care
They been waiting all night to put a n***a in jail
And Number 10, a find word called uniting
Makes us righteous, stop the violence
Thats the only way we can make it through the ghetto
And not get k**ed by something little by the metal
Follow these rules youll have made bread to make or...
If not 24 years on the wake up, slug hit ya temple watch ya frame shake up
Care taker did ya make up... taha.. yeah
Its that real n***a... J D....Z
Black King... Black King... B.I.G. R.I.P
Its that one coon thats back in affect n***a
Ayo atari gang wa**up... we out...
