By the Rules

Plus three hammers, they said one of them were used

I’m antag', I’m a bit annoyed
All I’m really thinkin', bro, this case, I gotta beat (Beat)

We’ll see
waitin' and not knowin' (Knowin')
And damn, his sheet long, gotta take it in the moment (Yeah)
Tell your story, but don’t miss parts
I’m just paintin' pictures, man, this shit’s art
You never know the ending when this shit start
Sometimes it gets real, you gotta switch paths
Gotta do what’s best, but play by the rules
Streets sellin' lies, I try buy
Mummy told the truth, only see it now
When shit gets real, they won’t be around
Let me take you back in time before they kicked the door (Door)

Leavin' out, black attire, she don’t understand (No)
Then couple minutes later, they heard bang (Baow)
Run the wrong lap, you weren’t sane in the head
So much work’s hot, man, we had to spray paint the ped (Switch it)
Forward to the money, I was little league (Little league)
'Til my nigga that’s in jail threw a brick on me (Take it)

Couple months later, goin' through about six (Six)
Flew off my brick, didn’t care about the feds (No)
Plug told me pattern up and sent me down
Now I order them safe (Safe), food that flake (Food)
Take more, probably feed about four more states (Yeah)
Tell your story, but don’t miss parts
I’m just paintin' pictures, man, this shit’s art
You never know the ending when this shit start
Sometimes it gets real, you gotta switch paths
Gotta do what’s best, but play by the rules
Streets sellin' lies, I try buy
Mummy told the truth, only see it now
When shit gets real, they won’t be around
