i make my own rules

Singer:ll cool j

you know the rules of the game

baby

we can handle this like gentlemen

or we can get into some gangsta shit

this is big time rock'n'roll

baby

nobody can tell me what to do!

i'm the rebel

with a cause

breakin the curfew

an international threat to the power structure

scream when your eardrums rupture

anarchy

primal terror!

my god!. it's a brand new era!

the world revolves on an economic axis

and if it slips

everybody drips

black and white in a fight for green

while the yellow and red get caught between

wannabe gangstas livin a lie

gettin rich while they glorify genocide

homicide

suicide

politicians tounge-tied

westside

eastside

what's the difference? if you ride

you ride

if you live

you live but if you die

you die

and i. i make my own rules!

i'm my own man

i make my own rules!

i make my own rules! check it out

ha!

i'm my own man

i make my own rules!

uh! gimme mine

give it up

give it back

i can't let it slide like that

everybody want a free ride

and most of my fake-ass friends got snake eyes

ready for a fight to the death

protect the innocent

'til it ain't none left

homeboy - guilty

homegirl - guilty

who are you to play judge and jury?

filled with fury

the wrath of a tyrant

who's to blame when the young get violent?

when the glock cocks

it pops

many drop

and if his momma get him help

will he stop?

dangerous

walkin on the edge

no aim to us

stop blamin us!

for the rules that you made

games that you played

seems you got it made

why are you so afraid?!

i make my own rules! watch out now!

i'm my own man

i make my own rules!

i make my own rules! check it out now!

i'm my own man

i make my own rules!
