(Heavy D) This One goes out to the rough And Rugged muthafuckas out there
(Latifah) - Yes Baby
(Heavy D) - Strictly on the Latifah tip
(Latifah) Yo, This is queen Latifah in the house
I got my boy Heavy D, My Boy Treach and my Boy KRS-One in the house to rip some shit with me right quick
TREACH
The quicker committee gettin witty for many cause the war ain't one
This the city where I'm From, I'll glue ya titties to ya tongue
It's on like this with The Black Bleep the blip
Smokin' Shit with mad misfits
the 1 man, 1 mold, Murder 1
murder gold, 1 hard headache to hold
Word to god It's good as Gold
If it Ain't rough, it ain't ashy & 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 pimples order 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 fade me
if It ain't rough, it ain't rugged
And If You Can't hear it, you can't dub it. COME ON
CHORUS (X2)
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, He could do without it
If It ain't rough, It's working my nerves
HOOK BY HEAVY D
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
HEAVY D
Tuck Away your entire stuff, I'm comin' tough, rugged and rough, from a blunt, take puff UHHH
Never joke with a tech nine 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 holly molly
I'm magnificent
Skip to my lou, gather up your crew, Let the heavysetters Show you what a N... could really do today
We all know about body bags, but seems everybody brags about being tough, catch a body tag
Knowin well, they just cream puffs talkin tough cause they've stuff, It's a bluff, They ain't tough they ain't nothin'
CHORUS
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, He 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
If It ain't rough, Just kick it to the curb
If It ain't rough, He could do without it
If It ain't rough, you know It's working my nerves
KRS ONE
Follow me now massive! Follow me now massive! Follow me crew follow me crew
KRS one in the party just a gwan wanna (LAITFAH) "ease off"
Here we go, Yo, You Know the flow, I get high & Low
You Know, Why you wanna flow with the pro, Oh, no no no no no no no
Breakin' rappers in half by the ass is my only task
Gold & Platinum Plaques will pass, only tlaent 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 stitching up, You and your crew start bitching up
(Line sampled on "Ova Confident" By Nine) 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'm a hypocrite
When You in my face, you in my dick
consequently your lyrics go flip, get a grip,
You Straight on some sucka shit
CHORUS
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, you know It's working my god damn nerves
LATIFAH
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, that 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 the joints and get to the point
and cut all the talk, the BS can walk
You test my skills, you get put to death
I'm sick of all the huff puff blow your house down BULL-
SHIT 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 guillotines
