The song "Rules of Survival" by Hooligan Chase is about asserting dominance and surviving in a cutthroat environment. The lyrics are aggressive and boastful, with references to smoking, sex, and violence. Chase speaks of painting hieroglyphics on a "slut's" back and putting a double barrel on someone's mustache. He also references his success in the music industry and treats women as objects to be conquered and used for pleasure. The chorus highlights the importance of survival and achieving maximum success, with Chase saying he needs "oxygen" and "lots of bitches." He dismisses anyone who gets in his way or criticizes him, saying he doesn't care and it's justified. He also speaks about his own mental state, calling himself "brain dead" and likening himself to a vegetable. Throughout the song, Chase references his enemies and rivals, claiming they are dead on arrival because they didn't follow his rules of survival. He also brags about his ability to put a woman on American Idol and count "buckeyes" with friends in Ohio. The song overall paints a picture of a ruthless and confident artist who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
