If It Ain't Ruff - Remastered 2002

Lyrics

Ren is the villain and you're just a hostage
 So whenever I'm steppin', cover your head like an ostrich
 Groupies been waitin' for this, suckers been hatin' for this
 You know why? 'Cause so many are relatin' to this
 Jealous is how they feelin' intentionally
 But then start to love it because I made it eventually
 Pumpin' the music, I keep the music like pumpin'
 'Cause Ren ain't in it for nothin', I keep the average crowd jumpin'
 Yo, you know the color, the villain's in black
 Always down to make noise and attack
 So you better get back unless you wanna come with it
 And make your face like a target and close your eyes when I hit it
 You're screamin' with fear but it's with fear that you're screamin'
 You're wakin up in a sweat 'cause Ren is givin' bad dreams and
 I'm not scheming, I'm just tellin' the facts
 That's how it is when N.W.A. starts to jack
 So brothers that wanna scrap with me
 That sweezin' and sneezin' will have to lap with me
 Especially begging to write some lyrics with me
 I just snatch your girl to take a nap with me
 'Cause when it comes to Ren there's no comparison
 And if you try to be me, it's quite embarassing
 But I understand 'cause you're mentally slow
 'Cause I can tell from the jump you're too nervous to go
 If it aint' ruff it ain't me
 Gangsta's black and he's about to attack
 If it ain't ruff it ain't me
 Lemme bust a freestyle there
 (All right bet)
 I can tell that you're afraid to fight me
 Simple because you lost the crowd and they had to invite me
 Because you're sweat as a puddle but there the puddles of sweat
 I'm a threat, so get a cold rag and wipe your neck
 And clean the dirt off your face that cause acne
 It's ridiculous thinking that you can jack me
 This is the round where the punch will go
 Into your H-E-A-D, that's known as a blow
 I'm makin' a point but it's a point that I'm makin'
 Like, see, I'm hatin' the fakin' I keep the suckers like shaking
 Scared to speak with a thought when they're chosen
 The sound of my voice in their ear and they're frozen
 This is a battle to the death, it's like the same old
 Against a brother on a tip, with a Kangol
 Givin 'em pain but it's with pain that I'm givin'
 But I'm comparing and tearing 'em but I'm makin a living
 With the hype of a nine volt battery
 And the odds for me to conquer is averagely good
 Meanin' I'ma flow
 I'm from the streets so, yo, I'm ready to go
 If it aint' ruff it ain't me (yo, Ren)
 Gangsta's black and he's about to attack
 If it ain't ruff it ain't me
 Man, what you gon' do now? (Get funky)
 The do not disturb sign is in effect
 While I'm thinking of a fool to select
 To give the victim a verdict so for the verdict a victim
 Slammin' my vocals on a dance with the rest then I kick them
 Tell 'em they're guilty and peep out the bailiff
 And get a new track of drums so I can play with
 Percussion, pumpin' it loud when I perform
 Yo, you wanna play in my game? Put on a uniform
 It ain't a rule in the book you have to go by
 Hey, 'cause when it comes to cheatin', yo, you should know I
 Put fear in their hearts 'cause it's their hearts full of fear
 'Cause what you hear in your ear is something funky and clear
 The Hulk was incredible, yo, but Ren he was super
 But now I'm ruthless, a civilian and not a trooper
 But a soldier with a top ranking
 Givin' dope material, the hell with the gankin'
 So play like an airplane and just jet
 And keep your blood pressure low 'cause I'm a threat
 'Cause if not I'm afraid of the show
 That you're a sucker and you're too nervous to go
 If it aint' ruff it ain't me (yo, Ren)
 Gangsta's black and he's about to attack
 If it ain't ruff it ain't me (yo, Ren)
 Gangsta's black
 If it aint' ruff it ain't me
 Gangsta's black and he's about to attack
 If it ain't ruff it ain't me (yo, Ren)
 Gangsta's black
 If it aint' ruff it ain't me
 Gangsta's black and he's about to attack
 If it ain't ruff it ain't me (yo, Ren)
 Gangsta's black
 'Cause if it aint' ruff it ain't me
