Ten Crack Commandments (instru
B.I.G. Lyrics

It's the ten crack commandments, what?
These are my rules for dealing drugs – ten important commandments to follow in order to stay safe and make money.

Nigga can't tell me nothing about this coke
I know everything there is to know about selling cocaine.

Can't tell me nothing about this crack, this weed, my hustlin' niggas
Same goes for crack and weed, and the people I work with in the drug trade.

Niggas on the corner I ain't forget you niggas, my triple beam niggas
I remember my fellow drug dealers on the streets who use triple beam scales to measure drugs.

I've been in this game for years, it made me an animal
I've been selling drugs for a long time and it has changed me into a dangerous person.

It's rules to this shit, I wrote me a manual
I created a guidebook to help others navigate the drug trade and avoid getting caught.

A step-by-step booklet for you to get
I created a detailed, step-by-step guide to help people become successful drug dealers.

Your game on track, not your wig pushed back
My guide will help you stay on the right track and avoid getting killed or arrested.

Rule Number Uno, never let no one know
The first rule is to never tell anyone how much money you have, because they might get jealous and rob you.

How much dough you hold cause you know
Don't let anyone know how much money you have in order to avoid being robbed.

The cheddar breed jealousy 'specially
Money breeds jealousy, especially in the drug trade.

If that man fucked up, get yo' ass stuck up
If someone messes up, they might get robbed or killed as punishment.

Number 2, never let 'em know your next move
The second rule is to keep your plans and movements a secret to avoid getting caught or robbed.

Don't you know Bad Boys move in silence and violence?
I follow the Bad Boys code of being quiet and using violence to solve problems.

Take it from your highness
Listen to me, the king of the drug trade.

I done squeezed mad clips at these cats for their bricks and chips
I've shot at people and stolen drugs from them.

Number 3, never trust no-bo-dy
The third rule is to not trust anyone, even family or friends, because they might betray you in order to make money.

Your moms'll set that ass up, properly gassed up
Even your own mother might betray you by setting you up for a robbery or arrest.

Hoodied and masked up, shit, for that fast buck
Someone might rob you while wearing a hood and mask in order to make money quickly.

She be laying in the bushes to light that ass up
Your mother might hide in bushes or other places to attack you and steal your money or drugs.

Number 4, I know you heard this before
The fourth rule is one that everyone should know.

Never get high on your own supply
Don't use your own drugs or you might become addicted and lose your profits.

Number 5, never sell no crack where you rest at
Don't sell drugs near where you live, because the police might catch you or people might rob you.

I don't care if they want a ounce, tell 'em bounce!
Even if someone wants to buy a lot of drugs, don't sell to them if it's not safe.

Number 6, that goddamn credit? Dead it
Don't give anyone credit to buy drugs, because they might not pay you back.

You think a crackhead paying you back, shit forget it!
Crack addicts are unreliable and probably won't pay you back.

7, this rule is so underrated
The seventh rule is important but not many people talk about it.

Keep your family and business completely separated
Don't mix your drug trade with your family life, because it can lead to dangerous situations.

Money and blood don't mix like 2 dicks and no bitch
Mixing money with family can be as messy and disastrous as mixing two penises with one woman.

Find yourself in serious shit
It's possible to end up in very bad situations if family and business are combined.

Number 8, never keep no weight on you!
The eighth rule is to not carry drugs or large amounts of cash with you, because it's dangerous.

Them cats that squeeze your guns can hold jums too
Even someone who robs you might get robbed themselves, so it's best to not carry valuable items around with you.

Number 9 shoulda been Number 1 to me
The ninth rule is the most important one to me.

If you ain't gettin' bagged stay the fuck from police
Avoid the police at all costs, because even if you aren't caught, being around them can worsen your reputation among other drug dealers.

If niggas think you snitchin' they ain't trying to listen
If others believe you are cooperating with the police, they won't trust you.

They be sittin' in your kitchen, waiting to start hittin'
People might come to your house to attack you if they think you are working with the police.

Number 10, a strong word called consignment
The tenth rule is about a specific type of drug deal called consignment.

Strictly for live men, not for freshmen
Consignment is only for experienced drug dealers, not beginners.

If you ain't got the clientele, say "hell no!"
If you don't have enough customers, don't agree to a consignment deal.

'Cause they gon' want they money rain sleet hail snow
If you do agree to a consignment deal, expect the person you're working with to want their money even in bad weather or other difficult situations.

Follow these rules you'll have mad bread to break up
If you follow these rules, you'll make a lot of money selling drugs and have plenty to divide among your team.

If not, 24 years on the wake up
If you are caught by the police, you could spend 24 years in prison.

Slug hit your temple, watch your frame shake up
If you are shot, you'll feel it in your head and your body will shake.

Caretaker did your makeup, when you passed
If you die, someone else will have to take care of your body and prepare you for burial.

Your girl fucked my man Jake up, heard in three weeks
Someone's girlfriend had sex with another man and the news spread quickly.

She sniffed a whole half of cake up
Someone's girlfriend used a lot of cocaine in a short amount of time.

Heard she suck a good dick, and can hook a steak up
People have heard that the same girlfriend is good at oral sex and can cook steak well.

Gotta go gotta go, more pies to bake up, word up
I'm busy and need to go sell more drugs, so that's all for now.
