Lyrics
I was talking to my daughter
And I was just telling her like
As you get older like
It's a few rules you gon' have to follow when you're dealing with men
Rule one, never let a homeless man stay with you
Two, never let a broke man play with you
Three, never let a lying man -
Four, make a man earn all your trust
Five, never let a man put his hands on ya
Six, whatever he say, make him stand on it (make him stand on it)
Seven, always love yourself way more (love yourself)
Do he love you 'cause you gotta be sure (be sure)
It's okay to love a man, just choose the right one (choose the right one)
If you feel pain the whole time, he ain't the right one (he ain't the right one)
Look at his characteristics (look at), do he love his mama?
Do he take care of his children? (Do he take care of his children?)
How do he talk you 'bout his partners? (How do he talk?)
When you was pregnant, um, did he go with you to the doctor? (Did he go?)
When you was sad, did he care about your problems? (Did he care?)
Do he care enough to try and help you stop 'em? (Did he help?)
Do he say things to lower your self-esteem? (Tryna lower your self-esteem)
When you don't let 'em have his way
He say you being mean (say you being mean)
Don't let 'em change yo' life, get rid of all your friends (never do that)
But let's go over these rules again (go over these rules)
Rule one, never let a homeless man stay with you (never let him)
Two, never let a broke man play with you (never let him play with you)
Three, never let a lying man - (never let him)
Four, make a man earn all your trust
Five, never let a man put his hands on ya (put his hands on ya)
Six, whatever he say make him stand on it (make him stand on it)
Seven, always love yourself way more (way more)
Do he love you 'cause you gotta be sure? (Be sure)
How frustrated he get when you make him angry? (How much?)
Every time there's a problem, you the one he blaming (blame you)
Do he call you out your name? Do he hit you? (Do he hit you?)
Do he get frustrated with every issue?
When you crying, do he even bring you tissue? (Do he bring you tissue?)
The man that break you ain't gon' be the one that fix you (he ain't gon' be the one)
If he hit you once, he gon' hit you again (he gon' hit you again)
And if you stay long enough, he gon' end up killing you in the end (he gon' kill you)
The truth is he abusive (is he abusive, baby)
The truth is he a narcissist (is he a narcissist)
But you ain't gon' understand
If I don't go back to the rules in the beginning where I started it
Rule one, never let a homeless man stay with you
Two, never let a broke man play with you
Three, never let a lying man -
Four, make a man earn all your trust
Five, never let a man put his hands on ya
Six, whatever he say, make him stand on it
Seven, always love yourself way more
Do he love you 'cause you gotta be sure?
If you follow these rules
You'll be a lot more safer
I love you
