[Verse 1]
Ya suppose to
Here go the instructions
Ya suppose to stay solid and be about your yaper
Ya not supposed to roll over and rat your love ones out
Ya supposed to have faith in the man up above, gotta get that million
Ya not supposed to kill yourself 'cause if you do you goin' straight to hell
Ya supposed to always look in your rear view and your side view mirrors
Ya not supposed to back down to any n***a or any punk inferior
Ya supposed to make the homies work for theirs, I know it’s personal but
Ya not supposed to keep spoilin' 'em 'cause at the end a the day that’s gon’ hurt you
Ya supposed to stay bossy, be a playa about your shit
Ya not supposed to check the n***a, my n***a
Ya supposed to check yo bitch
Ya supposed to be careful what you wish for 'cause it might just come through
Ya not supposed to bite off more than you can chew
Ya supposed to be an animal, none of that cryinl and whinin'
Ya not supposed to be a sucker like the cowardly lion
Ya supposed to do yo homework before you plannin' on gettin' down
Ya not supposed to bring a knife to a gunfight, you clown
(Ya supposed to)

[Chorus]
This the dos , the don’ts, the don’ts and the dos
The directions, instructions, the manuscript, the rules
This the dos , the don’ts, the don’ts and the dos
The directions, instructions, the manuscript, the rules
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
[Verse 2]
Ya supposed to smoke a joint like this really and truly and righteous
Ya not supposed to let it touch yo lips, might get hepatitis
Ya supposed to be a monster the way I was born and where I’m from
Ya not supposed to blow bubbles and pop your bubble gum
Ya supposed to had a heart of a pit, like we sick
Ya not supposed to pull a gun if you ain’t build and shit
Ya supposed to be a father to your child
Ya not supposed to wait till they get grown and come around
Ya supposed to never talk behind somebody’s back
Ya not supposed to never think you walk your smack
Ya supposed to fuck with real n***as, no fakes
Ya not supposed to say som’n about somebody that you won’t say to somebody’s face
Ya supposed to pay your ties, 10% to the legend
Ya not supposed to doubt or even second thought God
Ya supposed to kiss ya street sign, give it a hug
Ya not supposed to say anything when it’s your last lug
(Ya supposed to)

[Chorus]
This the dos , the don’ts, the don’ts and the dos
The directions, instructions, the manuscript, the rules
This the dos , the don’ts, the don’ts and the dos
The directions, instructions, the manuscript, the rules
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
[Verse 3]
Ya supposed to look at the bigger picture not the smaller picture
Ya not supposed to say the word ‘n***a’ if you not a n***a
Ya supposed to have sex with a woman, not a man
Ya not supposed to be married and don't wear your wedding band
Ya supposed to remember the good and the bad times in the hood
Ya not supposed to forget where you came from 'cause that ain’t good
Ya supposed to stop braggin’ about everything that you done and bought
Ya not supposed to turn your back on your family, at the end of the day that’s all you got
Ya supposed to pump your gas in the daylight, not the dark
Ya not supposed to fill yo tank up 3 in the mornin', that ain’t smart
Ya supposed to have your tester test your yola for you right
Ya not supposed to get down on your luck, go broke and wanna try it
Ya supposed to have a n***a back if you want and right
Ya not supposed to run away and tuck yo tail if it’s a fight
Ya supposed to Bruce Lee up, become a beast
Ya not supposed to lose contact with the streets
(Ya supposed to)

[Chorus]
This the dos , the don’ts, the don’ts and the dos
The directions, instructions, the manuscript, the rules
This the dos , the don’ts, the don’ts and the dos
The directions, instructions, the manuscript, the rules
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
[Outro]
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, no, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, mayne, no, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, ya not supposed to
Ya supposed to, mayne, no, ya not supposed to
