"#UnwrittenRules"

Hook(x2):
Open, focused, so put one in the air
Smoke one for a nigga 'cause you know I don't toke
Smoke one for a nigga 'cause he cool
We live by unwritten rules; mama didn't raise fools

Verse 1:
Above the law like executive branch
Fitted for American life, seams connectin' the patch
Sewn wit' excellent cloth, could never detach
Street-smart cookies formin' a excellent batch
An' what we didn't learn from the streets, we learned from rap
Older brothers or cousins are how we learned to scrap
An' when we learned to rap, we gained more confidence
Now we're on a mission for prominence
Dominance in this game, but first we need paper
See this money isn't everything, but havin' it means you're major
Savor victory's taste, I never needed spoils
Shots of motivation straight to the temple like holy oil
Battle in my head, used to drink to suppress it
Whole time God was speakin' I ignored the message
Stressin' 'cause niggaz wanna see me fall; bet that
Legs out, tryna trip a nigga in a jetpack

Hook(x2)

Verse 2:
I don't believe bullshit, need facts from the horse's mouth
Niggaz suss, so runneth the course for doubt
But I remain devout, givin' these snakes benefit
Niggaz quick to stab your back tho like they're drainin' spinal fluid
Call it how I see it, even wit' the blindfold
Nothin' to lose, nothin' to gain; don't know what they lyin' fo'
It's sad, even in beef, niggaz won't back a man
Over half the niggaz I know yellow-bellied like a Packer's fan
Rather attack a man for standin' by his beliefs
Get you caught up in attempts to bind you like loose-leaf
But I break free like my edge is perforated
Continue doin' me, that alone is worth the hatred
I'ma make it, not a soul can tell me otherwise
I know my worth, won't fall for a bunch of lies
Don't be surprised to learn you're really pathetic
'Cause niggaz blowin' smoke up your ass like a sex fetish

Hook(x2)
