Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Lil man, lil queen
Come sit down for a second (listen)
Unc got a couple things to say, feel me?
[Chorus]
I was raised on morals, you was raised on “views”
You worried ’bout the drip, I’m worried who you choose
Respect on your name, that don’t come from your shoes
It’s the way that you move, the way that you move
I was taught “stand tall, never break, never bend”
Look a person in they eyes, call a stranger your friend
If you love who you are, you don’t follow a trend
That’s the rule number ten, let me say it again
[Verse 1]
First rule, don’t ever let ’em play with your word
If you said it, then you stand on it, say what you heard
Own what you did, don’t pin it on your crew for a pass
If you lie to yourself, you the one lookin’ bad
Second rule, talk soft but you walk with some heart
If it’s family, you protect ’em, you get torn apart
You don’t flex on your own, you don’t stunt on your blood
We done bled for this last name, that’s deeper than mud
Third rule, when you eat, make a plate for your folks
If you rich and your mama broke, then you the joke
I done seen lil homies blow a bag on the ‘Gram
But they nana on the block still waitin’ on stamps
Fourth rule, keep your phone in your pocket in beef
You ain’t press, you ain’t media, you ain’t the police
If you post what you did, you just buildin’ a case
You ain’t gangsta, you goofy, you chasin’ a fake
[Chorus]
I was raised on morals, you was raised on “views”
You worried ’bout the drip, I’m worried who you choose
Respect on your name, that don’t come from your shoes
It’s the way that you move, the way that you move
I was taught “stand tall, never break, never bend”
Look a person in they eyes, call a stranger your friend
If you love who you are, you don’t follow a trend
That’s the rule number ten, let me say it again (say it again)
[Verse 2]
Listen nephew, lil niece, I see all of your pain
You ain’t gotta play tough, that’s a part of the game
Fifth rule, know the value of your body and mind
They gon’ try to buy time with a bottle and line
They gon’ tell you “it’s lit, everybody get high”
But they never stay close when you too numb to cry
I seen uncles lose lungs, aunties losein’ they soul
Over temporary highs and some temporary goals
Sixth rule, keep grace in your talk to your mom
Even when she sound wrong, still approach her with calm
Say your piece, but don’t curse at the one that had birth
If she drop a single tear, that’s a diamond on earth
Seventh rule, don’t you think all respect is in fear
If they only show love when your strap in the rear
Then they never knew you, they just worship your name
When it’s court dates, tell me who remain in the frame?
[Chorus]
I was raised on morals, you was raised on “views”
You worried ’bout the drip, I’m worried who you choose
Respect on your name, that don’t come from your shoes
It’s the way that you move, the way that you move
I was taught “stand tall, never break, never bend”
Look a person in they eyes, call a stranger your friend
If you love who you are, you don’t follow a trend
That’s the rule number ten, let me say it again
[Verse 3]
Eighth rule, if you love ’em, then you tell ’em the truth
Don’t just hype up they lies ’cause they part of your youth
If your homie hit a lick on the same block you from
And your nana on that street, how you think I’ma come?
I ain’t proud ’bout the nights that we ran from
