## Lyrics

**Trae:**

What's up Zach?

Going in right here, uh

I been at this thing for years, it's done turned me to an animal

Some of y'all ratchet, I'm a write you hoes a manual

Step by step, G shit for you to keep

This the ratchet commandments, I need a moment to preach

Thou shalt not hook up with a brother

When you know he got a missus, you are labeled, side bitches

Thou shalt not lie upon the bible

How you looking for a title when you sleeping with his rivals?

Thou shalt not put trust in these men

These dudes are now wussies, quit acting so feminine

Thou shalt not pacify the truth

If you know your kitty's loose, you a ho, so do better

Ratchet

Every night doing the most up on Instagram

Ratchet

Ooh, maybe that's the reason why bitches, they can't keep a man

Ratchet

**Zachary:**

And y'all can't sit with us

**Trae and Zachary:**

Ratchet

Ha, ha, ha, listen while I preach, church

**Trae:**

These girls ain't really friends, she probably gon' take her man

I'm done with the phony hoes, these bitches is really bugs

They rather be on the block than taking care of the crib

I'd rather be making money than taking care of some kids

**Trae (Zachary):**

(Thou shalt not) Slip up on a heathen

Always keep it cool, never let him know you need him

(Thou shalt not) Let a brother see you sweat

Bang a chick and get the check, move along, you know the rest

(Thou shalt not) Respond to these bitches

They envy what you doing and they only want attention

(Thou shalt not) Pacify the truth

If you know your rent due, get the hell out the club

**Trae (Zachary):**

(Ratchet)

Every night doing the most up on Instagram

(Ratchet)

Ooh, maybe that's the reason why bitches, they can't keep a man

(Ratchet)

**Zachary:**

Y'all can't sit with us

Ratchet

Listen while I preach, church

**Trae:**

I told Zach like, I'm irritated, devastated

I thought, I thought we had some young queens, what you mean?

We act belligerent, generation of ignorance

Bitches live for the 'Gram so they life ain't got no significance

Boy this shit be a trip like Expedia

She won't pick up a book but she'll probably bust it open for social media

Man, you'd be surprised, cuffing and loving and fucking the team

Getting by just by living and making it work on they knees

Let's not debate it, these bitches is overrated

They probably will never learn cause they lacking in home training, yo

But niggas lying on they money like every day

And niggas ratchet too, just in another way

You fake fathers never held your daughters, never had a conversation

You too fucking immature to get an occupation

**Zachary:**

Ratchet

Every night doing the most up on Instagram

Ratchet

Ooh, maybe that's the reason why bitches, they can't keep a man

Ratchet

Y'all can't sit with us

Ratchet

Listen while I preach, church

**Trae and Zachary:**

Thou shalt not

No, no, no, no

Thou shalt not

No, no, no, no

Thou shalt not

No, no, no, no

Thou shalt not

No, no

Cut it, cut it
