"Ten Wife Commandments" lyrics
Faith Evans & The Notorious B.I.G. Lyrics
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
It's the ten wife commandments
(I wrote me a manual
A step-by-step booklet for you to get)
It's the ten wife commandments
Don't hate the player
Just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
Don't hate the player
Just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
(I've been in this game for years, it made me a animal
There's rules to this shit, I wrote me a manual
A step-by-step booklet for you to get
Your game on track, not your wig pushed back
Rule nombre uno) Never let no chick know
What you and your man do in the bedroom
Might feel good when you in it
And you probably want to admit it
But it ain't nobody business
(Number two) Gotta be a pretty girl all the time (take it from your highness)
Gotta build him up and make him strong
You gotta be the only one he want
(Number Three) Gotta be a lady in the street
And you gotta be a freak in the sheets
But don't do too much (don't do too much)
All my ladies singin' with me now
Don't hate the player
Just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
Don't hate the player
Just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
(Number four) I know you heard this before
Tell him you love him before he step out the door
(Number five) Gotta let him wear the pants
You be a lady and you let him be the man
(Number six) Know how to put it down in the kitchen
When he bring it home you gotta have a good meal fixed
(Seven, this rule is so underrated) Gotta keep your feelings and your money separated
It's okay to let him have control
But girl, you gotta have your own
Do your own thing
(Number eight) Gotta keep your head game straight
(Number nine) Shoulda been number one to me
Gotta take care of the family
(Number ten) Be careful of the people you meet
When you 'round in the streets, you better listen to me
Don't hate the player
Just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
Don't hate the player
Just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
Rules to this shit, step-by-step
Rules to this shit, step-by-step, booklet
For you to get, step-by-step
Take it from your highness
Step-by-step
Keep your family and business completely separated
Find yourself in serious shit
Jealousy 'specially if that man fuck up
Follow these rules, you'll have mad bread to break up
(It's the ten wife commandments)
Heard she hook a steak up, heard she hook a steak up
(It's the ten wife commandments)
Heard she hook a steak up
It's the ten wife commandments
(I wrote me a manual
A step-by-step booklet for you to get)
It's the ten wife commandments
Don't hate the player
Just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
Don't hate the player
Just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
(I've been in this game for years, it made me a animal
