A step-by-step booklet for you to get
Your game on track, not your wig pushed back
Rule nombre uno: Never let no chick know
What you and your man do in the bedroom
Might feel good when you in it
And you probably want to admit it
But it ain't nobody business
Number two: Gotta be a pretty
Girl all the time
(take it from your highness)
Gotta build him up and make him strong
You gotta be the only one he want
Number Three: Gotta be a lady in the street
And you gotta be a freak in the sheets
But don't do too much (don't do too much)
All my ladies singin' with me now

Don't hate the player just hate the game
You break the rules nigg*, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
Don't hate the player just hate the game
You break the rules nigg*, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around

Tell him you love him before
He step out the door
Number five: Gotta let him wear the pants
You be a lady and you let him be the man
Number six: Know how to put
It down in the kitchen
When he bring it home you gotta
Have a good meal fixed
Seven, this rule is so underrated: Gotta keep
Your feelings and your money separated
It's okay to let him have control
But girl, you gotta have your own
Do your own thing
Number eight: Gotta keep your
Head game straight
Number nine: Shoulda been number one to me
Gotta take care of the family
Number ten: Be careful of the people you meet
When you 'round in the streets
You better listen to me

You break the rules nigg*, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around
Don't hate the player just hate the game
You break the rules nigg*, I'll do the same
What you gonna do when they come for you?
When they come for you?
This is gonna come back around

The song "Ten Wife Commandments" by フェイス・エヴァンス & ノトーリアス・B.I.G. is a modern take on The Notorious B.I.G.'s classic track "Ten Crack Commandments." In this song, the artists provide a guide or manual for women who are in relationships, outlining ten essential rules or commandments to follow in order to maintain a healthy and successful partnership.

The first few lines serve as an introduction to the concept of the song. The artists mention that they have written a step-by-step booklet, which they refer to as the "ten wife commandments." It's essentially a guide for women to navigate the complexities of relationships.

The chorus emphasizes the importance of understanding and accepting that relationships come with rules. The artists assert that one should not direct their hatred towards those who play the game (referring to the game of relationships), but rather towards the game itself. They imply that if someone breaks the rules, they should expect retaliation in kind.

In the next section, the artists highlight their extensive experience in relationships and the lessons they have learned from it. They mention that there are specific rules or guidelines to follow, which they have turned into a manual. The first commandment advises not to reveal intimate details of one's relationship to others, as it is nobody's business. The second commandment encourages women to always present themselves as attractive and desirable to their partners. The third commandment suggests that women should maintain a balance between appearing ladylike in public but also being sexually open and adventurous in the bedroom.

The chorus repeats, further emphasizing the importance of understanding the rules of the relationship game. The subsequent commandments include expressing love to one's partner before they leave, allowing the man to take on a dominant role in the relationship, being skilled in the kitchen to provide good meals, keeping emotions and money separate, maintaining independence while still supporting the family, and being cautious of the company one keeps outside of the relationship.

The song concludes by reinforcing the importance of following these rules, highlighting the potential consequences of not doing so. The artists mention jealousy as a potential issue if the man messes up and advise women to abide by these rules to secure financial stability. The final lines humorously reference the rumor that one of the artists' wives is skilled at cooking steak, connecting back to the overall theme of being a valuable partner.

Overall, the song serves as a guide for women in relationships, emphasizing the importance of adherence to certain rules to ensure a successful and fulfilling partnership.

If you act outside the rules, I will also do so

What you gonna do when they come for you?
What will you do when you face consequences?
