BLASPHEMY

written by Tupac Shakur

Verse 1

My family tree consists of drug dealers, thugs, and killers./Struggling, known to hustle screaming “Fuck they feelings!”

I got advice from my father, all he told me was this./“Nigga, get off your ass if you plan to be rich!”

There’s ten rules to the game, but I’ll share with you two./Know, niggas gonna hate you for whatever you do.

The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory (1996)

Now rule two is a hard one, watch for phonies./Keep your enemies close, nigga, watch your homies.

It seemed a little unimportant.  When he told me I smiled./Picture jewels being handed to an innocent child.

I never knew in my lifetime I’d live by these rules./Initiated as an outlaw, studying rules.
