(Y'this one goes out to the rough and rugged mutha'fuckas' out there, y'know what i'm sayin'?)
Yes, baby (Strictly on the Latifah tip, y'know what i'm sayin?)
Ay', they (Rough) don't (like) know nothin' (this) about this hea'
Yo', this is Queen Latifah in the house
I got my man Heavy D
My boy Treach and my boy KRS-One in the house to rip some shit with me right quick
The quicker committee gettin witty for many cause the war ain't won
This the city where I'm from, I'll glue ya' titties to ya' tongue
It's on, like this switch, it's big, big, big hit, the Black Bleep, the rip
Smokin' shit with mad misfits
The one man, one mold, murder one
One murder gold, one hard headache to hold
Word to God It's good as gold
If it ain't rough, it ain't ashy a' brick thick
And if it ain't nasty, Naughty's pissin on your picnic
Rough is the place, the space, knuckle which way you think
Here to put a fat black nose on the Black Sphnix
I don't shoot to get bit, who's going to your Christmas?
I shot ST Nick
There's stuff for the kids I ain't get
No one under 17 admitted, so I came 18 deep
You can raid but you can't thank Queen Bee
If It ain't rough, it ain't rugged
And if you can't hear it, you can't dub it, or love it (Come on)
(If it ain't rough) I could do without it
(If it ain't rough) Just throw it to the curb
(If It ain't rough) The people could do without it
(If It ain't rough) It's working my nerves
(If it ain't rough) I could do without it
(If it ain't rough) Just throw it to the curb
(If It ain't rough) People could do without it
(If It ain't rough) It's working my nerves
Tell me how you like it: Rough
Tell me how you need it: Rough
Tell me how you keep it: Rough
Tell me how you want it: Rough
Tuck away your entire stuff, i'm comin' tough, rugged and rough, from a blunt, take puff, uh
Never joke with a TEC-9 hard than a sex mob
Next time, flex when it's my time
I'll take a chump or a champ a clamp or a zamp
So now the rolly;polly, holy moly, I'm magnificent
Skip to my lou, gather up your crew
Let the hefters show you what a nigga could really do (Hey)
We all know about body bags
But seems everybody brags about being tough, catch a body tag
Knowin' well, they just cream puffs talk tough cause they've seen stuff
It's a bluff, they ain't tough, they ain't nothin'
(If it ain't rough) I could do without it
(If it ain't rough) Just kick it to the curb
(If it ain't rough) People could do without it
(If it ain't rough) It's working my nerves
(If it ain't rough) Now I could do without it
(Now, if it ain't rough) Just kick it to the curb
(If it ain't rough) People could do without it
(If it ain't rough) Y'know It's working my nerves
Follow me now massive, follow me now massive, follow me crew, follow me crew
KRS one in the party just a gwan wanna ("Ease off")
Here we go, yo', you know the flow, I get low & high
You know, why you wanna flow with the pro
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Breakin' rappers in half while the ass is my only task
Gold & platinum plaques will pass, only talent will last
I come to the party, prepared to kick ass
You come to the party well prepared, then get scared
You're through and need stichin' up, you and your crew start bitchin' up
Where you gonna live around where i'm not stompin' it?
I really believe you're a wee bit ova' confident
On MTV, you wanna down rate me quick, yeah i'n a hypocrite
When you in my face, you on my dick
Consequently your lyrics go flip, yo', get a grip
You straight on some sucka' shit
(If it ain't rough) I could do without it
(If it ain't rough) So kick it to the curb
(If it ain't rough) You know people could do without it
(If it ain't rough) It's working my nerves
(If it ain't rough) I could do without it
(If it ain't rough) so kick it to the curb
(If it ain't rough) You know people do without it
(If it ain't rough) It's working my god damn nerves
Here comes the queen, I'll make a woman on the track get attracted like a fiend to the beat so I rap
You're looking for a friend to the end, good, then that's me
But if you're looking for a gangsta' bitch
That's exactly what you're gonna see
Ain't no way, ain't no say, this ain't your lucky day
So go pray, now you pay 'cause I don't fuckin' play
Matter fact, I think Ice-T, he put it just right
"You diss me on record, see me fight"
Just throw up, your joint, and get to the point
And cut all the talk, the BS can walk
'Cause I ain't out hea' to waste my breath
You test my skills, you get put to death
Listen, I'm sick of all the huff puff blow your house down
Bullshit I heard last week
You get ya' ass beat
So watch the way you approach the Queen
If it ain't rough, I'll send that ass to the guillotine
(If it ain't rough) I could do without it
(If it ain't rough) So kick it to the curb
(If it ain't rough) Hip-hoppas' could do without it
(If it ain't rough) It's working my nerves
(If it ain't rough) I could do without it
(If it ain't rough) Just kick it to the curb
(If it ain't rough) My people do without it
(If it ain't rough) It's working my nerves
(If it ain't rough) I could do without it
(If it ain't rough) Just kick it to the curb
(If it ain't rough) Hip-hoppas' could do without it
(If it ain't rough) Y'know it's working my goddamn nerves
(If it ain't rough) I could do without it
(If it ain't rough) Just kick it to the curb
(If it ain't rough) People could do without it
(If it ain't rough) Y'know it's working my god damn nerves
(If it ain't rough) I could do without it
(If it ain't rough) Just kick it to the curb
(If it ain't rough) People could do without it
(If it ain't rough) It's working my nerves
