Faith Evans, The Notorious B.I.G. - Ten Wife Commandments lyrics

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

It's the ten wife commandments
I wrote me a manual
A step-by-step booklet for you to get
It's the ten wife commandments

Don't hate the player just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
Don't hate the player just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around

I've been in this game for years
It made me a animal
There's rules to this shit
I wrote me a manual
A step-by-step booklet for you to get
Your game on track, not your wig pushed back
Rule nombre uno: Never let no chick know
What you and your man do in the bedroom
Might feel good when you in it
And you probably want to admit it
But it ain't nobody business
Number two: Gotta be a pretty
Girl all the time
(take it from your highness)
Gotta build him up and make him strong
You gotta be the only one he want
Number Three: Gotta be a lady in the street
And you gotta be a freak in the sheets
But don't do too much (don't do too much)
All my ladies singin' with me now

Don't hate the player just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
Don't hate the player just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around

Number four: I know you heard this before
Tell him you love him before
He step out the door
Number five: Gotta let him wear the pants
You be a lady and you let him be the man
Number six: Know how to put
It down in the kitchen
When he bring it home you gotta
Have a good meal fixed
Seven, this rule is so underrated: Gotta keep
Your feelings and your money separated
It's okay to let him have control
But girl, you gotta have your own
Do your own thing
Number eight: Gotta keep your
Head game straight
Number nine: Shoulda been number one to me
Gotta take care of the family
Number ten: Be careful of the people you meet
When you 'round in the streets
You better listen to me

Don't hate the player just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
Don't hate the player just hate the game
You break the rules nigga, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around

Rules to this shit, step-by-step
Rules to this shit, step-by-step, booklet
For you to get, step-by-step
Take it from your highness step-by-step
Keep your family and
Business completely separated
Find yourself in serious shit
Jealousy 'specially if that man fuck up
Follow these rules
You'll have mad bread to break up
It's the ten wife commandments
Heard she hook a steak up
Heard she hook a steak up
It's the ten wife commandments
Heard she hook a steak up
