N.W.A. - If it Ain't Ruff lyrics

rate me

[MC Ren:]

Ren is the villain and you're just an 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 ? Because so many are relatin to this

Jealous is how they feel it intentionally

but they start to love it becoz I made it eventually

Pumpin the music I keep the music like pumpin

coz Ren ain't in here for nuthin, 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 coz Ren is givin bad dreams and

I'm not schemin, 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 beggin to write some lyrics with me

I just snatch your girl to take a nap with me

coz when it comes to Ren there's no comparison

And if you try to be me, it's quite embarassin

but I understand coz you're mentally slow

coz I can tell from the jump you're too nervous to go

If it aint' ruff it ain't me (scratch)

[Tha gangsta's black and he's about to attack]

If it ain't ruff it ain't me (scratch)

Lemme bust a freestyle here [Allright then]

I can tell that you're afraid to fight me

simple because you lost the crowd and they had to invite me

becoz you're sweat as a puddle but there's a puddle o' sweat

I'm a threath, so get a cold rag and wipe your neck

and clean the dirt off your face that calls acne

It's ridiculous thinkin that you can jack me

This is the round where the punch will go

until ya A G-A-T that's known as a flow

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 shakin

Scared to speak with a tongue and they're chozen

The sound of my voice in their ear and they're frozen

This is a battle to the death, it's like the [?? same ol' ??]

against a brother on a tip, with [??]

Givin a pain but it's with pain that I'm givin

but I'm comparin and tearin'em but I'm makin a livin

with the hype of a 9 Volt battery

and the odds for me to conquer is averagely good

Meanin I'm a flow

I'm from the streets so, yo, I'm ready to go

If it ain't ruff it ain't me [Yo Ren]

[Tha gangsta's black and he's about to attack]

If it ain't ruff it ain't me

[Man whatcha gonna do now ?] [get funky]

The 'do not disturb' sign is in effect

while I'm thinkin of a fool to select

to give the victim the 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 beep out the bailer

and get a new track o' 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, coz when it comes to cheatin yo you should know I

for fear in the hearts coz it's the hearts full of fear

coz what you hear in your ear is something funky and clear

The hump 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 rankin

givin dope material, the hell with the gankin

So play like an airplane and just jet

and keep your blood pressure low coz I'm a threat, if not

I'm afraid of the show

that you're a sucker and you're too nervous to go

If it ain't ruff it ain't me [Yo Ren]

[The gangsta's black and he's about to attack]

If it ain't ruff it ain't me [Yo Ren]

[The gangsta's black] If it ain't ... If it ain't

(scratching)
