(Six rules to the game, better learn ‘em or you fall
Streets don’t love nobody, they just waitin’ on your call
Eyes wide open, hear the sirens in the dark
One wrong move, that’s your name up in the chalk
Six rules to the game, yeah they carved into my brain
Everybody eatin’ ‘til the hunger bring the pain
Trust get thin when the money start to grow
By the sixth rule, you already lost your soul)
She said “teach me how it go,” I said “listen, keep it real”
Ain’t no fairy tale livin’, every choice come with a bill
Rule one, move smart—don’t let ego get you gone
Seen a hothead crash out, now his mama cryin’ alone
Rule two, stay solid, don’t be switchin’ on the split
Seen brothers turn strangers over crumbs of a chip
Rule three, pick your targets—karma spin like a blade
Hit wrong, come back twice, now the debt gettin’ paid
Rule four, move quiet, keep your presence outta sight
Cold world, closed curtains, every shadow wanna bite
Rule five, no names, no traces left behind
Hear a sound, heart pound, paranoia in your mind
Rule six… yeah that rule never said
When it crumble, go silent—cut ‘em off like they dead

(Six rules to the game, better learn ‘em or you fall
Hear the sirens in the dark, yeah they echo through it all)
Now we posted at the mall, but the vibe feel strange
Same faces ‘round me, but the loyalty done changed
He was smilin’ in my face, now he countin’ every knot
Turn a handshake to a setup when he peek what I got
Used to let it slide, now he pressin’ for a stack
Talkin’ like I owe him—I remember way back
Greed in his eyes, yeah I caught it from the jump
That kinda hunger turn a day-one to a chump
Now the air feel thick, every breath feel weighed
Every word double-edged, every silence got a blade
I ain’t scared, just aware how the cycle repeat
Same story, same ending—envy drag you six feet
[Bridge]
(Hear the echo in my head, all the lessons and the lies
Every rule got a cost, every truth in disguise
You can play it how you want, you can roll, you can fold
But the deeper that you step, feel it drain from your soul)
Late night, phone buzz, I can feel it in my chest
Same voice, same tone, but it sound a little pressed
Said “pull up, we good,” but the line felt off
Too quick with the words, like he practiced what he thought
Pulled up slow, engine runnin’, lights low
Street dead quiet but I swear I felt a ghost
Look left, look right, shadows shift in the dark
Every rule flash back, every line hit my heart
Rule one, stay sharp—yeah I peeped the setup
Rule two, no trust—had to keep my head up
Rule three, karma lurk—I ain’t blind to the play
Rule four, move silent, I ain’t step all the way
Sat still, hands tight, let the minute just pass
Then I seen two figures move quick through the glass
That was it, no doubt, everything made sense
Same hunger, same greed, same broken intent
Put it in drive, rolled off, never looked back twice
Six rules kept me breathin’—that’s the cost of the price
