Yo can't go anywhere

  If you go by the book

I'm not saying you gotta be a crook

  You just can't go anywhere

If you go by the book

Lying, cheating, and thieving

  Gotta be part of you life

You can't go anywhere

  If you go by the book

I'm not saying you gotta be a crook

  You just can't go anywhere

If you go by the book

Lying, cheating, and thieving

  Gotta be part of your life

You gotta know when to heist them

  Know when to drop them

And know how to treat them just right

  Know how to step away into the dark night

A hustler has got to be a little bright

  Gotta know when to avoid the fight

And when she's ready to take flight

  Then disappears into the nighyt

Remember, the score isn't the money

  It's the afterwards delight

When you tell her to put another log on the fire

  And tell her to raise her legs a little higher

This is what it's all about

You have the treasure for which many men have fought

  Because you learned

That you never win

  If you play by the book

I'm not saying don't be a crook

  I'm only saying you can win

If you go by  the book

    Shake Spear
