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!
