JacKKnife-J - 26 Laws lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] On the day I swap my Mic for another endeavor These are 26 laws for my younger successors Law 1 like Run said on Tougher Than Leather 'overall stand tall' or fall under the pressure Law 2 never live with regrets And never stress cause stress cause cancer, forgive and forget Enemies make the best friends and best friends.. well you know the rest So don't a**ume there's no imminent threat Read body language, if a mans posture is poor And his handshake is dead-fish don't honor his word If he won't look you in the eye then his thoughts are impure Unless they offer you their loyalty don't offer them yours Law 10 be weary of these types I warned you about They love leeching energy and reinforcing your doubts Remember running from your problems ain't sorting them out And never look a gift-horse in the mouth [Hook: Jess Kav] The things i've learned have left me scarred The ridges deep, the lessons hard I walked away, you walk alone My legacy, the seeds are sown [Verse 2] Treat everyday like its your first 'til the day you retire If someone set the bar prior try raising it higher Human nature desires power, its the way we were wired But power-play is like playing with fire 17: always keep your true intentions concealed Once you step out the frame the bigger picture will then be revealed Take the power into your own hands, be your own man with your own plan Don't be reinventing the wheel Law 21 cut the deadweight when it's dragging Talk is cheap, actions speak, start making it happen Vision without execution is just hallucination Don't waste a talent by having no motivation or pa**ion Be your own biggest critic, be the hardest to please Believe in yourself even when it's hard to believe I eat, sleep and breath this so work harder than me And just watch what you start to achieve.. That's 27 though [Hook X 2] [Outro]
