Diddy, Benny the Butcher - 10 More Commandments lyrics

Ayo
Make my shit sound godly
Like that
Butcher comin', nigga (Griselda)
I'ma tell you like this
(I graduated out the streets)
It's all in your mindset (Yo)
Let's go, be free

Soon as they let me eat
Knew the streets was my expertise (Uh, huh)
I kept discreet contacts with my connect
So they let me eat (Uh, huh)
A rapper
But I was a drug trafficker
'fore I left the streets
These ten more crack commandments
Frank White, rest in peace (Ah)
Number twenty gotta be to
Make sure that you count the money
(You got to, if it don't make dollars


It don't make sense)
Singles and fives under hundreds
We call that bankroll a dummy
I been on both sides of that
Made a smooth relationship ugly (I did)
When dealin' with a true connect
My first goal is get you to trust me
(Uh, huh)
Nineteen is don't ever burn the plug, dawg
That's silly shit
(Silly shit)
I had to mention it since this
One wasn't on Biggie list
He knew y'all would have a
Hard time comprehendin' it
I mean
Riskin' six figure business for
Pennies is kinda ridiculous
(Stay down)
Eighteen, you better test that work
Before you buy it
Yeah, of course, they gon' say it's fire
But you know these niggas be lyin'
(I know, I know)
Me and Fonz was OT with eighty racks
But that's on the driver (Two-thirty)
Drove back with the money
'cause when the fiend
Tried it, he up and denied it (Uh)
Seventeen, take care of the people around you
They only appreciate how you value loyalty
When they eatin' beside you
(If everybody ain't eatin'
You gon' get ate)
You a worker
The boss wouldn't be here without you
You do the dirty work from
The first to the thirty-first
But I see they forgot you (Not me)
Sixteen hard for niggas, but you gotta stack
You got some racks, soon as your name
Started buzzin', you got attached (Chill)
You should be spendin' that money
On re-in' up and not in Saks (Real estate)
It's only cool bein' dressed in designer
If your dollars match (Real estate)
Fifteen a good one, listen
Most people confused
How we spend our money on whips and jewels
They think we fools (Let me break it down)
But from a drug dealers view
Buy a Benz or a chain or two
Go broke then sell everything, in a week
You'll be back like new
(Mhm)
So basically
Fuck all that spendin' on clothes
And trickin' on hoes
Only buy shit that can be sold
'Cause you gon' need a plan B if
Your trap phone startin' to get cold
If somethin' happen to your plug and
Your bills startin' to get old
(Damn)
Fourteen, just lead by example, nigga
'Cause you could be richer
But my hand don't equal
Triple the financial difference
Thirteen tricky
B.I.G. couldn't even approach it
When he was slingin' and totin'
This wasn't even a focus
No social media postin', greedy emotions
Niggas chase fame and not the
Money, that's broke shit
Y'all be on ho shit
Rule number twelve
I know this one a little too well
Stand for somethin' or fall for anything
(Anything) , respect is like a shield (Uh
Huh)
You gotta go wherever this shit takin'
You if you for real
(Why you doing what you doing?)
Play for keeps, use your
Steel, and hopefully
You shoot to kill
(Brrt)
Eleven the most important, somewhere
On our way
We lost it
Tossin' rocks at prisons, married the game
It's hard to divorce it
(Uh, huh)
From a hustler to another
Not to interfere with your business
(Nah)
But since I'm here for this one
I gotta be crystal clear with you niggas
(Uh)
The first chance you get
You better get out this shit
(Nigga)
Them old stories how you was gettin'
Dough won't amount to shit
Can't feed your child with it (At all)
When they come wearin'
Jackets with alphabets
Look around
The smart hustlers the only
Ones 'round here rich
(Yeah)
Get out the game, rap niggas
Hope y'all don't get no ideas
You gotta live the way I lived to
Talk the shit I just did
Ten more crack commandments, ah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Check this out, it's all in the mindset
You know
It's all in the mindset
You can't judge people for how they got it
My daddy used to be a hustler, you feel me?
But, like, we a different generation
A different time
We ain't gotta repeat the past
The crack era
And do what we did before
You know what I'm sayin'?
We one of the world's
Most valuable commodities
That's Black culture, baby
We all legal now
We just gotta stick together and unify
Fuck all the bullshit, get back to love
That Black love
You know what I'm sayin'?
We are the original man, the Black man is God
And the Black woman gave birth
To the Black man
You can imagine what she is
