The Rule Won’t Die Ja Rule

[Intro]
Uh, uh, yeah, gangsta shit
Takin' my word, y'all want this
They don't want none of me
They don't want none of me
Yeah, please believe it
Rule baby, unquestionable
Uh, uh, but you know that
Heck, I know that
Uh, ha, yeah, uh

[Verse 1]
What has this world come to
When a nigga like me could be perceived the American Dream
Life ain't always what it seems, my younguns
Please believe strugglin', always provokes the hustlin'
To that we accustomed
You get acquainted with everybody throughout the hood
Still don't trust 'em
Trust is a serious thing
Most niggas don't trust nobody they ain't know since sixteen
Does that mean the devil is in us, of course
Who you think is holdin' us up to fall short
Touch but don't taste, taste but don't swallow
And these are the rules that we 'posed to follow
