Ja Rule - Rules of Engagement lyrics

It's the rules of engagement n***a, What ya'll know about that sh**? n***as I been in this game for years, Makin' me the animal that I is. Theres rules to this sh**. Remember these crack commandments, That is what I call The Rules of Engagement. You should master this, Take notes you ba*tards; RULE 1; Never outshine the master, If you oppose a threat he gon' k** you faster. RULE 2; Conceal your intentions always, Nowadays n***as either snitchin and catch phrase. RULE 3; Always say less than necessary, Them n***as 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 explainin' it. RULE 7; Keep others suspended in terror, Be unpredictable, in other words gain the advantage. RULE 8; Play a s**a to catch a s**a, Seem dubmer than your mark muther-f**er so you can touch him. RULE 9; Know who you dealin' with, Don't offend no wrong n***as, get your family k**ed. And RULE 10 shoulda been number 1 to me, Play all the way to the end without gettin' your hands dirty. It's the rules... of Engagement n***as
