Rules Lyrics by Prime-One

Universal Mixtape Vol.2

2010

Rules keep order,rules keep us down
They're drafted by nature or government clowns
I made my own and wrote some guidelines
A set of ten rules that I abide by
Rule one:Never cast the first stone
Rather react to the stone that was first thrown your way
"cause you won't finish everything you might start
A lot of dogs bark but some of 'em bite hard
Two:Never judge a book by its cover
Read the pages and content inside another
Appearances deceive and we can clearly see
All the wrong that prejudicial beliefs can breed
Three:Only business your nose should be all in
Is that which you are directly involved in
People will do what they do,they expect you
To butt the fuck out if it doesn't affect you
Four:Take little at face value
So many lies and illusions may shroud you
Or mislead you,unless you don't care and like
Spendin' your life in a fool's paradise
Five:Even though emotions are part of us
Let 'em call the shots,end up doin' retarded stuff
It's cool to be big-hearted but you got a brain
It's the most vital organ,so let your logic reign
Six:It ain't wise to be a dummy
Knowledge is the greatest power aside from money
If the mind's hungry,feed it
Feed it whatever,there might come a day when you need it
Seven:I know you've heard this one
Money comes before bitches,it's difficult,son
Pussy is delightful,so is gettin' paid
And how many rich men ain't gettin' laid?
Eight:Treat life like a game,have fun with it
Look at the ground,someday you'll be under it
You don't want to go to the grave with regrets
That you were stupid not to play it to death
Nine:Sometimes it's best to be tacit
Actions speak louder than words that you yap with
Words are great to manipulate and mess with
But respected ones need none to express shit
Ten:Last but not least,keep it real
Stay true to yourself,steer your own wheels
Not everybody'll like you,fuck what they think
Keep your eyes open and trust your instincts
Now this is just personal,take it or leave it
If I didn't practice it,I wouldn't preach it
These days,got to be smart and strategic
If you serve a purpose,why would you defeat it?
