Yo let me tell you about the rules
Whether you like it or not you're playing a game it's the Matrix
And you either play by the rules or you bend the rules that's right
Either way there are a set of rules that you will need to follow
So follow them accordingly
I know exactly when to make my move
So please don't play me for a fool let me do what I do
And I'll show and prove
Cause I know all the rules I know exactly what to do
And how to play it cool
I know exactly when to make my move
So please don't play me for a fool let me do what I do
And I'll show and prove
Cause I know all the rules I know exactly what to do
And how to play it cool
So what you want to do first and foremost
Is watch and observe learn the ropes
Study the game and all there is to know
But I know not what I do I make it up as I go
But there's rules of engagement so listen up close
I live and die by these rules I've taken an oath
Rule number one is keep your enemies close
Cause as I mentioned before this game is cut throat
Rule number two is you continue to grow
Invest in yourself contribute to that growth
Rule number three no there are no cheat codes
Cause anything you want you got to work for
Rule number four be sure to keep it moving forward
Adjust for the market all across the board
And rule number five what you don't want to do
Is get complacent stick and move
So state your motives make your moves (make your moves)
Play the game bend the rules (bend the rules)
Stay devoted pay your dues (pay your dues)
And you will not lose
