DJ Dirty Di - The Cardinal Rule (feat. Teezy So Dope) Lyrics

Stand on your own too, no matter what they do. that's a cardinal rule
Always focus on you and not how they move... that's cardinal rule
Don't justify your truth, just remain true... that's a cardinal rule
Stand on your own too... that's a cardinal rule, that's a cardinal rule

First of let me clear the air
What is rare can't be compared
Live your life, don't live in fear
Make peace with your past, 'cause it got you here
Spend the least of your cash
Double up make it last
Blowing money fast
Nah, that's dummy sh*t
Pad locking the bag
Throw it all in the stash
Give a damn bout rations
Hungry sh*t
Break bread on daily
Longevity mean more than phases
Can't win a marathons training for races
Feeling like Forrest, breaking them braces
Speak only honesty, you should try it
Y'all sell lies for free, nobody buying
Best observe everything and keep quiet
Shorten them loose strings or double tie em
Simple as that
Most over look facts
Opinions hold weight like they proven stats
Everything cap'd
Scared reach max
More to your rep than your habitat
Muscle memory a having ya elevated
Glowing up baby, ohh they devastated
'Cause your life changing while they maintaining
Sending shots at ya, but they bad at aiming

Stand on your own too, no matter what they do. that's a cardinal rule
Always focus on you and not how they move... that's cardinal rule
Don't justify your truth, just remain true... that's a cardinal rule
Stand on your own too... that's a cardinal rule, that's a cardinal rule

Be the master of your destiny
Make your self happy, set sail captain
Time heals almost everything
As time passes so do those scratches
Soul searching with them patches
Learn who you are 'fore your world start crashing
Up against the wall
With the biggest of the brawls
Would you fall and crawl
Or stand tall, no dashing
Key to life thank God and drink water
And be sure to add in some fitness
Don't pay attention to what anybody say about ya
'Cause, What other ppl think ain't your business
Get out ya own head
The irony is I was mine
Changed the narrative and wrote it
You can quote this
Anytime the pressure on I never ever folded
I just controlled it
If want it
Man I'm gone get it
With a smile on my face like I'm posing
I worked hard for these days, won't chosen
Over 10, 000 hours for certain
Damn
Let me kick it to you
Just a Lil mo'
This a need to know
These are life codes
That a help you grow
Reach your goals
If you let it tho

Stand on your own too, no matter what they do. that's a cardinal rule
Always focus on you and not how they move... that's cardinal rule
Don't justify your truth, just remain true... that's a cardinal rule
Stand on your own too... that's a cardinal rule, that's a cardinal rule

It be mad rules to the game
Everyday some change
Cardinal rules stay the same
No matter what the game played
Mad rules to the game
And everyday some change
Its cardinal rules to the games
No matter what game be played
Damn

Stand on your own too, no matter what they do. that's a cardinal rule
Always focus on you and not how they move... that's cardinal rule
Don't justify your truth, just remain true... that's a cardinal rule
Stand on your own too... that's a cardinal rule, that's a cardinal rule
