"Rules Of Engagement" lyrics
It's the rules of engagement nigga
What ya'll know about that shit?
Niggas I been in this game for years
Makin' me the animal that I is
There's rules to this shit
Remember these crack commandments
That is what I call the rules of engagement
You should master this
Take notes you bastards
Rule 1:
Never outshine the master
If you oppose a threat he gon' kill you faster
Rule 2:
Conceal your intentions always
Nowadays niggas either snitching and catch phrase
Rule 3:
Always say less than necessary
Them niggas 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 sucker to catch a sucker
Seem dumber than your mark mother-fucker so you can touch him
Rule 9:
Know who you dealin' with
Don't offend no wrong niggas, get your family killed
And rule 10 should've been number 1 to me
Play all the way to the end without gettin' your hands dirty
It's the rules of engagement niggas
What ya'll know about that shit?
Niggas I been in this game for years
Makin' me the animal that I is
There's rules to this shit
Remember these crack commandments
That is what I call the rules of engagement
You should master this
Take notes you bastards
Rule 1:
Never outshine the master
If you oppose a threat he gon' kill you faster
Rule 2:
Conceal your intentions always
Nowadays niggas either snitching and catch phrase
Rule 3:
Always say less than necessary
Them niggas 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:

Be unpredictable, in other words gain the advantage

Seem dumber than your mark mother-fucker so you can touch him
Rule 9:

And rule 10 should've been number 1 to me
Play all the way to the end without gettin' your hands dirty
It's the rules of engagement niggas
