10 Crack Commandments
B.I.G Lyrics

It's the ten crack commandments, what?
I'm about to give you the most important rules you need to follow if you want to succeed in selling drugs.

Nigga can't tell me nothing about this coke
Don't try to tell me anything about selling cocaine, I'm an expert.

Can't tell me nothing about this crack, this weed, my hustlin' niggas
And don't even talk to me about selling crack or weed either, or about the people I work with.

Niggas on the corner I ain't forget you niggas, my triple beam niggas
I haven't forgotten about the guys on the street corners with their triple beam scales, they're part of my crew too.

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

It's rules to this shit, I wrote me a manual
There are rules you need to follow if you want to survive in this business, and I've written them all down.

A step-by-step booklet for you to get
I'm going to give you all the steps you need to take to succeed in this business.

Your game on track, not your wig pushed back
If you follow my rules, you'll be successful, but if you don't, you'll end up dead or in jail.

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

How much dough you hold cause you know
You should keep your financial situation a secret, because people will get greedy and try to take what you have.

The cheddar breed jealousy 'specially
Money makes people jealous, especially when they don't have any themselves.

If that man fucked up, get yo' ass stuck up
If someone you're working with messes up and gets caught, you'll be in danger too, so you need to be careful.

Number 2, never let 'em know your next move
You should always keep your plans a secret, because people will try to steal your ideas.

Don't you know Bad Boys move in silence and violence?
I'm warning you that the best way to be successful in this business is to stay quiet and be ready to use force if necessary.

Take it from your highness
Listen to me, I'm the king of this game.

I done squeezed mad clips at these cats for their bricks and chips
I've been in many fights with other dealers over drugs and money.

Number 3, never trust no-bo-dy
The third rule is to never trust anyone, not even your family, because people will betray you for money.

Your moms'll set that ass up, properly gassed up
Even your own mother might betray you for a quick payday.

Hoodied and masked up, shit, for that fast buck
People will do anything for money, even if it means putting on a mask and robbing you.

She be laying in the bushes to light that ass up
Your own mother might even be hiding in the bushes waiting to shoot you for a quick buck.

Number 4, I know you heard this before
The fourth rule is probably something you've heard before, but it's worth repeating.

Never get high on your own supply
You shouldn't use the drugs you're selling, because that will only lead to trouble and addiction.

Number 5, never sell no crack where you rest at
The fifth rule is to never sell drugs where you live, because that will draw too much attention to you.

I don't care if they want a ounce, tell 'em bounce!
Even if someone wants to buy drugs from you, you should turn them away if it means putting yourself in danger.

Number 6, that goddamn credit? Dead it
You shouldn't give anyone credit for drugs, because they'll probably never pay you back.

You think a crackhead paying you back, shit forget it!
If you lend money to a drug addict, you can basically count on never seeing that money again.

7, this rule is so underrated
The seventh rule is important but often overlooked.

Keep your family and business completely separated
You should never mix family and drug dealing, because it will only lead to trouble.

Money and blood don't mix like 2 dicks and no bitch
Money and family don't go together, just like two penises and no female partner.

Find yourself in serious shit
If you mix your family with your drug business, you'll end up in big trouble.

Number 8, never keep no weight on you!
The eighth rule is to never have drugs on you, because you'll be an easy target for the police or other criminals.

Them cats that squeeze your guns can hold jums too
The people who rob you might also be armed and dangerous themselves.

Number 9 shoulda been Number 1 to me,
The ninth rule is so important that it should really be the first rule.

If you ain't gettin' bagged stay the fuck from police
You should always try to avoid getting caught by the police, so stay away from them whenever possible.

If niggas think you snitchin' they ain't trying to listen
If people think you're a snitch, they won't trust you or do business with you.

They be sittin' in your kitchen, waiting to start hittin'
If people think you're a snitch, they might come after you and try to hurt or kill you.

Number 10, a strong word called consignment
The tenth rule is all about something called consignment, which is how some drug dealers get their supply.

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

If you ain't got the clientele, say 'hell no!'
If you don't think you'll be able to sell all the drugs you get on consignment, don't agree to it.

'Cause they gon' want they money rain sleet hail snow
If you do agree to consignment, make sure you pay back your supplier or you'll be in big trouble.

Follow these rules you'll have mad bread to break up
If you follow all of these rules, you'll make a lot of money selling drugs.

If not, 24 years on the wake up
If you break any of these rules and get caught, you could be facing a long prison sentence.

Slug hit your temple, watch your frame shake up
If you break any of these rules, you might get shot and killed.

Caretaker did your makeup, when you passed
If you get killed because you broke any of these rules, someone else will have to prepare your body for your funeral.

Your girl fucked my man Jake up, heard in three weeks
I heard that my friend Jake's girlfriend cheated on him and it caused a big fight.

She sniffed a whole half of cake up
I heard that Jake's girlfriend used a lot of cocaine.

Heard she suck a good dick, and can hook a steak up
I heard that Jake's girlfriend is good at both oral sex and cooking steak.

Gotta go gotta go, more pies to bake up, word up
I have to go, I have more drugs to make and sell, you know what I'm saying.
