"Rule One" lyrics
(feat. Bawo)
Uh, check
[Kojey Radical:]
I was sittin' sideways
Born in the days where you stand by what you say (One)
Never let a broke boy know you gettin' paid (Two)
Never let a quick lay lay up where you stay (Three)
Never let them step up on the carpet that you pray
Don't need body armour, know my angels keep me safe (Safe)
You say you got goons, I know goblins in a cage
When life gave me lemons, I got rich off lemonade
It's a brand-new suede, do not rain on my parade (Uh)
I don't make the rules, I can't tell you what to do
Show you how to move, monkey see, monkey do
Each one, teach one, rule one, real smooth
Keep your business in your pocket, pocket watchers on the loose
Number two, simple as can be, I mean, it's nothing new
A broken heart expensive, I don't think many recoup (Uh)
That honey trap was sweet, now it's give me the loot, give me the loot
It was best to bust a nut and bust a move
Rule three, that's about respect, nothing less
If you let somebody test, they might do that shit again
Love taught me forgive, disrespect said revenge
I ain't tasted nothing sweeter in a minute
Need another lesson? Don't worry, I still ain't finished
I remember being young, dumb and hungry for living
Wondered if there's space up in heaven for a sinner
Till I got up off my back and started winning
I was sittin' sideways
Born in the days where you stand by what you say (One)
Never let a broke boy know you gettin' paid (Two)
Never let a quick lay lay up where you stay (Three)
Never let them step up on the carpet that you pray
Don't need body armour, no, my angels keep me safe (Safe)
You say you got goons, I know goblins in a cage
When life gave me lemons, I got rich off lemonade
It's a brand-new suede, do not rain on my parade
[Bawo:]
Never let the chase swap you out and use your place
Never let the fakes bring you down and lose grace
Still can't let the jakes get a smile or a trial
Make sure you take your shorty out, it's been a while
Act like you know, say she's somebody's child
And try not to bring the bets back home
Never let the money get the better of your backbone (Easy)
I beg you leave the begging and the hat alone
This is hard as hell, but you've never been to hell (Hell)
That ain't gonna sell, swear we're made of that as well
Made it out the shell, now I'm singing like Adele
Shorty did her nails, ain't no way I couldn't tell
My brother got himself like he took it off a shelf
Never let the wealth stop you feeling compelled
Everybody's well, I'm so far away from hell
If you couldn't tell
[Kojey Radical:]
I was sittin' sideways
Born in the days where you stand by what you say (One)
Never let a broke boy know you gettin' paid (Two)
Never let a quick lay lay up where you stay (Three)
Never let them step up on the carpet that you pray
Don't need body armour, no, my angels keep me safe (Safe)
You say you got goons, I know goblins in a cage
When life gave me lemons, I got rich off lemonade
It's a brand-new suede, do not rain on my parade
Boy, slow down 'cause you're messing up a good thing
Good thing, real good thing
Girl, slow down 'cause you're messing up a good thing
Good thing, baby, real good thing
Boy, slow down 'cause you're messing up a good thing
Good thing, baby, real good thing
Girl, slow down, 'cause you're messing up a good thing
Good thing, baby, real good—
