Prime-One - Rules lyrics

Rules keep order,rules keep us down They're drafted by nature or government clowns I made my own and wrote some guidelines A set of ten rules that I abide by Rule one:Never cast the first stone Rather react to the stone that was first thrown your way "cause you won't finish everything you might start A lot of dogs bark but some of 'em bite hard Two:Never judge a book by its cover Read the pages and content inside another Appearances deceive and we can clearly see All the wrong that prejudicial beliefs can breed Three:Only business your nose should be all in Is that which you are directly involved in People will do what they do,they expect you To bu*t the f** out if it doesn't affect you Four:Take little at face value So many lies and illusions may shroud you Or mislead you,unless you don't care and like Spendin' your life in a fool's paradise Five:Even though emotions are part of us Let 'em call the shots,end up doin' retarded stuff It's cool to be big-hearted but you got a brain It's the most vital organ,so let your logic reign Six:It ain't wise to be a dummy Knowledge is the greatest power aside from money If the mind's hungry,feed it Feed it whatever,there might come a day when you need it Seven:I know you've heard this one Money comes before b**hes,it's difficult,son p**y is delightful,so is gettin' paid And how many rich men ain't gettin' laid? Eight:Treat life like a game,have fun with it Look at the ground,someday you'll be under it You don't want to go to the grave with regrets That you were stupid not to play it to d**h Nine:Sometimes it's best to be tacit Actions speak louder than words that you yap with Words are great to manipulate and mess with But respected ones need none to express sh** Ten:Last but not least,keep it real Stay true to yourself,steer your own wheels Not everybody'll like you,f** what they think Keep your eyes open and trust your instincts Now this is just personal,take it or leave it If I didn't practice it,I wouldn't preach it These days,got to be smart and strategic If you serve a purpose,why would you defeat it?
