After spending a little over 5 years in the local Scotian hip hop scene. The Yangsta noticed there are 5 rules that all successful artists must abide by. What are they? Listen to find out!

lyrics

[Hook]
Rules to the game I will share with you
Rules to the game that’ll guide you through
Climb to the top what I gotta do
I’ll never stop this is my debut.
Rules to the game I will share with you
Rules to the game that’ll guide you through
Climb to the top what I gotta do
I’ll never stop this is my debut.

Verse 1:
In this rap game, if you wanna make it
You must spit the truth, you can’t fake it.
The words from your mouth must be yours alone,
‘cause the snakes and fakes the crowd won’t condone.
Climb to the top is the one and only mission,
Climb by your own self, no ass kissing.
The rules to the game, one to five.
To get past the scheming, and stay alive.
One, name your price, at the start.
I’m a rapper not a gangsta, don’t play that part.
The suburbia, is what I grew to see.
So keep the thug violence away from me.
Now don’t bite off more than you can chew,
Play the game don’t let the game play you.
Trust in self and you will succeed,
Flex too hard on the floor you’ll bleed.

[Hook]

Verse 2:
Two, you mouth, don’t talk –ish.
You know the saying, loose lips sink ships.
Word of mouth makes the world go round,
So the dirt you kick will always be found.
Three, keep your grass cut, watch for snakes.
They gon backstab once they get their big break.
Homies turned enemies when push comes the shove,
Remember fear is stronger than love.
Success breeds greed, jealousy, envy.
If Yangsta meant king then they’d all wanna be me.
Crabs in a bucket, they’ll drag me down.
If my voice ever spreads from town to town.
Four, respect, give and take.
Have love for all, till they prove they’re fake.
Recognize our hustle, and know our names.
I’m the Yangsta Asian rapper, player in the game.

[Hook]

Verse 3:
Five, tricks, don’t fall for one.
She ain’t there to hold you down, she’s there for fun.
You’ll be turned into a puppet with no mind,
You’ll be turning on your homies, she’ll make you blind.
Mad love to the real women on their grind,
But a scandalous trick, yo I got no time.
Introduced to this game with these rules to follow,
You must give to take, loan to borrow.
Stay in your own lane, collect your own gains.
Create your own fame, make your own name.
One last rule and this one’s kinda crazy,
Tribe “check the rhime” rule 4080.

[Hook] x2
