Rules Of Engagement Lyrics - The Mirror - Ja Rule

It's the rules of engagement nigga, 

What ya'll know about that shit? 

Niggas I been in this game for years, 

Makin' me the animal that I is. 

Theres rules to this shit. 

Remember these crack commandments, 

That is what I call The Rules of Engagement. 

You should master this, 

take notes you bastards; 

RULE 1; 

Never outshine the master, 

If you oppose a threat he gon' kill you faster. 

RULE 2; 

Conceal your intentions always, 

Nowadays niggas either snitchin and catch phrase.

RULE 3; 

Always say less than necessary, 

Them niggas that talk too much often get buried. 

RULE 4; 

I know you heard this before, 

Push your enemy totally, Hail Mary's and rosaries. 

RULE 5; 

Pose as a friend, work as a spy, 

Take 'em to get high, Then put it between his eyes. 

RULE 6; 

Stir up water to catch fish, 

This here is my favourite, ain't no need in explainin' it. 

RULE 7; 

Keep others suspended in terror, 

Be unpredictable, in other words gain the advantage. 

RULE 8; 

Play a sucka to catch a sucka, 

Seem dubmer than your mark muther-fucker so you can touch him.

RULE 9; 

Know who you dealin' with, 

Don't offend no wrong niggas, get your family killed. 

And RULE 10 shoulda been number 1 to me, 

Play all the way to the end without gettin' your hands dirty. 

It's the rules... of Engagement niggas
