Rules Lyrics by Royal Fam

Black Castle (Original Version)

0

[Verse 1: Timbo King]
\nRule number 1: Never let a label see you stressing
\nFollow my directions on these industry lessons
\n2: Keep a straight head for you meetings
\nLooks are deceiving 'cause crooks, they be beating
\n3: Copies of your tapes is a no-no
\n'Cause niggas make promos and sell your shit for dolo
\n4: Before you get jerked, learn the business
\nSurviving in this game of snakes is very thinless
\n5: Negotiate a deal with the proper figures
\nCut off the middleman, fuck with only real niggas
\n6: Let your lawyer fix broken clauses
\nYour first option, date to get paid, pro rata
\n7: I'm here to school all stupid fools
\nIndividuals, niggas want residuals
\n8: Concentrate, study legal terms
\nOn the real, stay away from all evil firms
\n9: Ask for all the musician funds
\nBloodsuckers of the poor, this how this business runs
\n10: I'm giving you the information
\n1 through 20, Royal rules and regulations
\n
\n[Chorus: Timbo King]
\nYou know the rules...
\nYou know the rules...
\n
\n[Verse 2: Timbo King]
\nYo, 11: An album deal can be very tricky
\nSpeaking with experience, two labels tried to stick me
\n12: You gotta sell a whole lot of units
\nI'm business minded, here to teach all students
\n13: Advance money is recoupable
\nBreach of contract, loopholes are very suitable
\n14: Try to start a bidding war
\nNo matter what, you'se a write-off, so what you signing for?
\n15: Star status is so surprising
\nMake sure you get all rights on merchandising
\n16: Avoid silly allegations
\nKickback, side deals, kills your reputation
\n17: This advice is important
\nBullshit politics down to extortion
\n18: Don't let your dreams get deleted
\nWithout the Royal rules, your career is uncompleted
\n19: Incentives slash percentage
\nMoney back, guaranteed, hell no, he spent his
\nRule 20: Keep it focused on consistence
\nTake care of yours, when it comes to this business
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nYou know the rules...
\nYou know the rules...
\nYou know the rules...
\nYou know the rules...
\nYou know the rules...\n\n
