Rule One Songtext
von Kojey Radical

Uh
Check

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 the cage
When life gave me lemons, I got rich off lemonade
It's a brand-new suede (uh), do not rain on my parade

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 nothin' new
A broken heart expensive, I don′t think many recoup (uh)
That honey trap was sweet, now it's gimme the loot, gimme the loot
It was best to bust a nut and bust a move


Rule three, that′s about respect, nothin' less
If you let somebody test, they might do that shit again
Love taught me "forgive," disrespect said "revenge"
I ain′t tasted nothin' sweeter in a minute
Need another lesson? Don't worry, I still ain′t finished
I remember bein′ young, dumb, and hungry for a livin'
Wondered if there′s space up in Heaven for a sinner
'Til I got up off my back and started winnin′

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 the cage
When life gave me lemons, I got rich off lemonade
It's a brand-new suede, do not rain on my parade

Never let the chase swap you out and use your place
Never let the fates 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 somebody's child
And try not to bring the vex back home
Never let the money get the better of your backbone (easy)
I beg you leave the beggin′ and the hat alone


This is hard as hell, but you never been to hell (hell)
That ain't gonna sell, swear I made it out as well
Made it out the shell, now I′m singin' 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 feelin' compelled
Everybody′s well, I′m so far away from hell
If you couldn't tell

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 the cage
When life gave me lemons, I got rich off lemonade
It's a brand-new suede, do not rain on my parade

Boys, slow down ′cause you're messin' up a good thing
Good thing, real good thing
Girls, slow down ′cause you′re messin' up a good thing
Good thing, baby, real good thing
Boys, slow down ′cause you're messin′ up a good thing
Good thing, baby, real good thing
Girls, slow down 'cause you′re messin' up a good thing
Good thing, baby, real good-
(You must got it, but you never mean a thing, though)
