The Ten "G" Commandments (R.I.P. Notorious B.I.G)

The Ten "G" Commandments

I've been going hard for years - I could be an animal

there's certain codes in life - the answers aren't in a manual

So I decide to spit,

something true, for you to get

your mind right fast

the other kind don't last

- first and foremost, if you're a "G" then you don't have to say it, every single one of your actions should demonstrate it.

- secondly, understand you're going to need weaponry, but not necessarily a Tech my "G", especially when it's valuable to murder intellectually.

- third, the color is green and money's the word, but not for the sake of being greedy, it's just a guarantee that you'll never be needy.

- #4, I'm sure you've heard this before, you gotta work before you eat, and also practice what you preach; you'd better learn before you teach, and homie look before you leap.

- #5, no doubt about it, got to be live, that means 'bout it not jive, shout it proudly or keep it quiet.

- And six is, your biz is your biz, this lifestyle ain't showbiz, keep it secret, stay focused.

- lucky #7, bonafide "G's" belong in heaven, but they never experience death you see, what happens is they live forever through a great legacy.

- #8, once you get straight here's your duty, provide for your family and uplift your community.

-#9, be aware how valuable is time - hit hard, see far, be sharp. If they don't grow then stay away from retards.

- Last but not least, something real called foundation. You gonn' need a game plan, chances ain't for wastin'. If you're too weak to sacrifice, hope for a second crack at life. You really have to make an effort to have a life.

Follow these rules you shall always deserve respect

The world is overcrowded, make somebody cut a check

If not, you'll find yourself in shit up to your neck

That's when you'll probably stop caring and tend to forget

You were already given life, the biggest gift

The rest is up to you, don't nobody owe you spit

I've heard a lot of stories, most sounded like bullshit

Gotta go, Gotta go, time for me to polish my wit...
