If It Ain't Ruff (2002 Remaster) 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? Cos so many are relatin to this
Jealous is how they're feelin intentionally
But they start to love it bcoz I made it eventually
Pumpin the music I keep the music like pumpin
Coz Ren ain't in it 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 they wanna scrap with me
They 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 goIf 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 in [I bet]I can tell that you're afraid to fight me
simple because you lost the crowd and they had to invite me
bcoz you're sweat is a puddle but there's a puddle o' 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 thinkin that you can jack me
This is the round with a punctual goal
And to 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 shakin
Scared to speak with a thought when 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 kangol
Givin 'em 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 goIf it ain't 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 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 the desk with the rest then I kick them
Tell'em they're guilty, and be-bop the bailiff
and get a new track and drum so I can play with
percussion; pumpin it loud when I perform
Yo, you wanna play in my game, put on a uniform
There ain't a rule in the book you have to go by
Hey, coz when it comes to cheatin yo you should know I
Put 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 Hulk was incredible yo but Ren he was super
But now I'm ruthless, a civilian not a trooper
but a soldier with a top rankin
givin dope material, to hell with the gankin
So play like an airplane and just jet
and keep your blood pressure low coz I'm a threat, cos if not
I'm afraid It'll show
that you're a sucker and you're too nervous to goIf it ain't 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 and he's about to attack]
If it ain't ruff it ain't me.
