歌詞
[Verse 1]
Uh, uh, yeah, gangsta shit
Talking my word, y'all want this
They don't want none of me
They don't want none of me
Yeah, please believe it
Rule, baby, unquestionable
Uh, uh, but you know that
Heck, I know that
Uh, ha, yeah, uh
[Verse 2]
What has this world come to
When a **** like me could be
Perceived the American dream?
Life ain't always what it seems, my young ins
Please believe strugglin', always provokes the hustlin'
To that we accustomed
You get acquainted with everybody throughout the hood
Still don't trust 'em
Trust is a serious thing
Most **** don't trust nobody they ain't know since sixteen
Does that mean the Devil is in us, of course
Who you think is holdin' us up to fall short
Touch but don't taste, taste but don't swallow
And these are the rules that we supposed to follow
[Verse 3]
People pray for eternity, never see tomorrow
They just wishin' the Lord would take 'em away from the horror
That I'm currently bringing, y'all mother fuckers gonna have to
Murder me, swingin' bud, I won't die
[Verse 4]
Ya know what I'm sayin'? Y'all **** better start sayin' prayers
'Cause a **** with no cares, is finally here
Say what I want, when I want, fuck police
'Cause my gangsta **** know we own the streets
With the wind beneath my wings, ground under my feet
I'm the black rose **** that grew from concrete
It's the Rule, get it right, or get it real hot
A whole lotta shots sent flyin' through your block
The one I need and, oh, before I leave
Does anybody else feel they don't wanna breathe?
Been menacin' this society since conceived
And, ****, you know, cold hearts don't bleed
[Verse 5]
Still they, pray for eternity, never seein' tomorrow
They just wishin' the Lord would take 'em away from the horror
That I'm currently bringin', y'all mother fuckers gonna have to
Murder me, swingin', the Rule won't die
