Never let no one know how much dough you holdīiggie is saying: Don’t make yourself a target. Here’s why the 'Ten Crack Commandments' isn’t just for drugs, but for success too. In fact, that’s why you’ll hear rappers refer to it as so. I realized that if the 'Ten Crack Commandments' could act as an anthem for the hustler, it should also be practical in the workplace.Īnd while Rap Genius does a great job of giving us the street-meaning of his bars, I feel as though there are more meaningful lessons we can take out of his lyrics. I wrote an article applying themes from the hustler’s mindset to modern business strategy. Sure, I started to understand the glaring drug references after watching Al Pacino become Tony Montana, but I also began to see new business analogies arise after becoming a man, myself. I figured the lyrics were full of “drug things” that I’d only understand once I saw 'Scarface' a couple times. To be honest, I really had no clue what those commandments meant.

When I first heard 'Ten Crack Commandments,' I couldn’t have been older than 12.
