NWA - If It Ain't Ruff Lyrics
[MC Ren:]Ren is the villain and you're just an hostageSo whenever I'm steppin cover your head like an ostrichGroupies been waitin for this, suckers been hatin for thisYou know why ? Because so many are relatin to thisJealous is how they feel it intentionallyBut they start to love it becoz I made it eventuallyPumpin the music I keep the music like pumpinCoz Ren ain't in here for nuthin, I keep the average crowd jumpinYo, you know the color, the villain's in blackAlways down to make noise, and attackSo you better get back unless you wanna come with itAnd make your face like a target and close your eyes when I hit itYou're screamin with fear but it's with fear that you're screaminYou're wakin up in a sweat coz Ren is givin bad dreams andI'm not schemin, I'm just tellin the factsThat's how it is when N.W.A. starts to jackSo brothers that wanna scrap with meThat sweezin and sneezin will have to lap with meEspecially beggin to write some lyrics with meI just snatch your girl to take a nap with meCoz when it comes to Ren there's no comparisonAnd if you try to be me, it's quite embarrassin'But I understand coz you're mentally slowCoz I can tell from the jump you're too nervous to goIf it ain't' 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 meSimple because you lost the crowd and they had to invite meBecause your sweat is a puddle but there's a puddle o' sweatI'm a threat, so get a cold rag and wipe your neckAnd clean the dirt off your face that causes acneIt's ridiculous thinkin that you can jack meThis is the round where the punch will goInto your H E A D, it's known as a flowI'm makin a point but it's a point that I'm makinLike, see, I'm hatin the fakin I keep the suckers like shakinScared to speak with a thought when they're chosenThe sound of my voice in their ear and they're frozenThis is a battle to the death, it's like the [?? same ol' ??]Against a brother on a tip, with a KangolGivin a pain but it's with pain that I'm givinBut I'm comparin and tearin'em but I'm makin a livinWith the hype of a 9 Volt batteryAnd the odds for me to conquer is averagely goodMeanin I'm a flowI'm from the streets so, yo, I'm ready to goIf 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[get funky]The 'do not disturb' sign is in effectWhile I'm thinkin of a fool to selectTo give the victim the verdict so for the verdict a victimSlammin my vocals on a dance with the rest then I kick themTell'em they're guilty, and beep [?] out the bailiffAnd get a new track o' drums so I can play withPercussion; pumpin it loud when I performYo, you wanna play in my game, put on a uniformIt ain't a rule in the book you have to go byHey, coz when it comes to cheatin yo you should know IFor fear in the hearts coz it's the hearts full of fearCoz what you hear in your ear is something funky and clearThe Hulk was incredible yo but Ren he was superBut now I'm ruthless, a civilian and not a trooperBut a soldier with a top rankinGivin dope material, the hell with the gankinSo play like an airplane and just jetAnd keep your blood pressure low coz I'm a threat, if notI'm afraid of the showThat you're a sucker and you're too nervous to goIf 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]If it ain't ... If it ain't(scratching)
