Lyrics
Book of David
(From now on don't nobody talk to me directly, you understand
You got bitches with me, you talk to Huey, Huey you talk to me, you got it?
That means never on the phone, you got it? Alright)
Live by it, die by it (Gangsta)

Rule number one, never shit where you eat at (never)
Rule number two, keep it private, don't let them see that (yeah)
Shooter, they was really on our nuts, hard to believe that (hard)
Yo, Buda, I don't really give a fuck about no feedback (Gangsta Grillz) (I don't)
Rule number three, don't talk filthy, it ain't on WhatsApp
Sick of niggas screamin', "Marathon," they ain't ran one lap (nah)
Rule number four, don't have them askin' where your gun at (nah)
Rule number five, it ain't pressure that you don't want that (I'll pass)
Rule number six, keep the family and all the kids straight (all)
Rule number seven, keep your distance from niggas that did hate (remember)
Rule eight, come with the flow like 50 that made Ja Rule wait (uh)
Nobody yellin' all over this shit, this ain't no Clue tape (woah)
Rule number nine, if in Miami you eat at Prime (Prime)
Them niggas ain't put in no pain with you, ain't owned a dime (nothin')
The nigga that created the Rolex don't notice time (nah)
Rule number ten, shine on these niggas 'til they go blind (shine)

Uh, Biggie had commandments, I got rules (let's go)
Pay attention, show you how to move (move)
Ain't nothin' you can do to ever get me out this mood (nothin')
It's hard to stop a nigga that's determined not to lose (hard)
Decided not to snooze, now we pop a lot of Veuve (Clicquot)
We keep the grass cut, to keep the snakes up out this loop (gone)
Me plus two bad bitches out this coupe look like a group
Like how you gon' blame us, gettin' this paper is all we knew (all we knew)

Rule number eleven, before chain go get a weapon (get one)
Rule number twelve, before you buy learn how to sell (sell)
We don't come from wishin', throwin' no pennies in no well (well)
Nah, we come from wreakin' cognac 'cause that Henny got a smell
Rule number thirteen, make sure your shirt clean
I learned that from my grandma on them Sundays doin' our church thing (mommy)
Rule number fourteen, always avoid the court scene (always)
Got water on your neck but you dirty, go get some chlorine (uh)
Rule number fifteen, can't believe what a bitch seen (nah)
Rule number sixteen, can't play both sides, we gotta pick teams (pick up)
Rule seventeen, come out with some shit that they never seen
Rule eighteen, nineteen and twenty, they might never read (shine)

Uh, Biggie had commandments, I got rules (let's go)
Pay attention, show you how to move (move)
Ain't nothin' you can do to ever get me out this mood (nothin')
It's hard to stop a nigga that's determined not to lose (hard)
Decided not to snooze, now we pop a lot of Veuve (Clicquot)
We keep the grass cut, to keep the snakes up out this loop (Buda, uh)
Me plus two bad bitches out this coupe look like a group (yeah)
Like how you gon' blame us, gettin' this paper is all we knew (all we knew)

In this Book of David
There's rules to live by or die by
It's your choice (Dramatic)
