Rule One (feat. Bawo)

Uh, check

I was sittin' sideways

Born in the days where you stand by what you say (One)

Never let a broke boy know you gettin' paid (Two)

Never let a quick lay lay up where you stay (Three)

Never let them step up on the carpet that you pray

Don't need body armour, know my angels keep me safe (Safe)

You say you got goons, I know goblins in a cage

When life gave me lemons, I got rich off lemonade

It's a brand-new suede, do not rain on my parade (Uh)

I don't make the rules, I can't tell you what to do

Show you how to move, monkey see, monkey do

Each one, teach one, rule one, real smooth

Keep your business in your pocket, pocket watchers on the loose

Number two, simple as can be, I mean, it's nothing new

A broken heart expensive, I don't think many recoup (Uh)

That honey trap was sweet, now it's give me the loot, give me the loot

It was best to bust a nut and bust a move

Rule three, that's about respect, nothing less

If you let somebody test, they might do that shit again

Love taught me forgive, disrespect said revenge

I ain't tasted nothing sweeter in a minute

Need another lesson? Don't worry, I still ain't finished

I remember being young, dumb and hungry for living

Wondered if there's space up in heaven for a sinner

Till I got up off my back and started winning

I was sittin' sideways

Born in the days where you stand by what you say (One)

Never let a broke boy know you gettin' paid (Two)

Never let a quick lay lay up where you stay (Three)

Never let them step up on the carpet that you pray

Don't need body armour, no, my angels keep me safe (Safe)

You say you got goons, I know goblins in a cage

When life gave me lemons, I got rich off lemonade

It's a brand-new suede, do not rain on my parade

Never let the chase swap you out and use your place

Never let the fakes bring you down and lose grace

Still can't let the jakes get a smile or a trial

Make sure you take your shorty out, it's been a while

Act like you know, say she's somebody's child

And try not to bring the bets back home

Never let the money get the better of your backbone (Easy)

I beg you leave the begging and the hat alone

This is hard as hell, but you've never been to hell (Hell)

That ain't gonna sell, swear we're made of that as well

Made it out the shell, now I'm singing like Adele

Shorty did her nails, ain't no way I couldn't tell

My brother got himself like he took it off a shelf

Never let the wealth stop you feeling compelled

Everybody's well, I'm so far away from hell

If you couldn't tell

I was sittin' sideways

Born in the days where you stand by what you say (One)

Never let a broke boy know you gettin' paid (Two)

Never let a quick lay lay up where you stay (Three)

Never let them step up on the carpet that you pray

Don't need body armour, no, my angels keep me safe (Safe)

You say you got goons, I know goblins in a cage

When life gave me lemons, I got rich off lemonade

It's a brand-new suede, do not rain on my parade

Boy, slow down 'cause you're messing up a good thing

Good thing, real good thing

Girl, slow down 'cause you're messing up a good thing

Good thing, baby, real good thing

Boy, slow down 'cause you're messing up a good thing

Good thing, baby, real good thing

Girl, slow down, 'cause you're messing up a good thing

Good thing, baby, real good—
