Rules to thе streets, better listen if you in 'em (You better)

[Chorus]
Rules to the streets, keep it real with your fam' (Fam' first)
Keep your name clean, if you owe that nigga, pay him (Pay that man)
Keep your business off of Facebook and Instagram (For real)
Don't never ever talk if you fuck around and get slammed (Don't talk)
That nigga ain't your nigga if he talk behind your back (That ain't your nigga)

You've never been under pressure (Never), facin' thirty-somethin' years (Life)
Body made of steel (Hardbody), heart made of gold (Pure)

Ayy, practice what you preach (For real), don't live beyond your means (Don't do it)
Don't be out there hustlin' for some shit that you don't really need (Don't)

Don't worry 'bout the fake, that shit gon' catch up with 'em one day (Don't do that)
You got a gun, use it (Use it), don't be influenced by this music
