[Intro]
~#**************#~
Ah, Redman
~#**************#~
Do you feel that the Blacks in your community
~#**************#~
Are still mad at the racial situation?
~#**************#~
Yeah, they still mad
~#**************#~
And if you dont take that funny smirk off your face
~#**************#~
Ima kick your—
~#**************#~
Over 300 ghetto-related crimes happened in Newark, New Jersey alone
~#**************#~
Still the saga continues
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Stick em up, stick em up, I got the jammy to your guts, punk
~#**************#~
Dont make a move before I choose to make your guts run
~#**************#~
All over the block, cause my stomachs in a knot
~#**************#~
And it growls twenty-four hours a day around the tick-tock
~#**************#~
I got roaches and rats up the back
~#**************#~
Carryin bats and gats so I *fart* ‘fore I snack, Jack
~#**************#~
Then guzzle it down with water from the hydrant
~#**************#~
My moms taking a bath and my brothers next to dive in
~#**************#~
I gotta think of a plan so I can eat
~#**************#~
I havent had a cracker for weeks so my mouth leaks
~#**************#~
I squad up, cause Ima set up this kid
~#**************#~
Carryin loot out from Burger King and what Ima do is
~#**************#~
Run up on him, snatch the bag of money
~#**************#~
Then bust the dummy
~#**************#~
‘Cause, my man, when I think of a plan, theres no shorts take
~#**************#~
‘Cause I pack jammies inside of my North Face
~#**************#~
Coat, had the Black brother on scope
~#**************#~
No jokes what I am cause the mans a pure pro
~#**************#~
Yo, my man you got a light? (Straight jackin)
~#**************#~
Yeah, yeah, give me the effin money too, G (Yo, stop, stop, stop!)
~#**************#~
Took the money, then I dipped with the quickness
~#**************#~
The plan went well, so I got down to the business
~#**************#~
Opened up the bag, it was filled with paper
~#**************#~
I thought I freaked the funk but now starts the caper
~#**************#~
‘Cause I was set up, now I have to go head up
~#**************#~
With the cops, but they carryin black Glocks (Shits thick)
~#**************#~
Whats my next move? My lifes on the line
~#**************#~
Bullets in their clips and none in mine
~#**************#~
Sirens on, once again its on
~#**************#~
I fell (Ow!) and then the black Glocks went (Pow!)
~#**************#~
I got snuffed and I got bust
~#**************#~
Now the only thing Im sniffin is dust, because its
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
‘Cause its so rough
~#**************#~
‘Cause its so rough
~#**************#~
‘Cause its so rough
~#**************#~
‘Cause its so rough
~#**************#~
‘Cause its so rough
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Me and Erick Sermon taking a trip Uptown
~#**************#~
In the 4Runner, blastin my tape, puffin ganja
~#**************#~
Since Erick got props
~#**************#~
I stepped to this hottie with more damn body than a chop shop
~#**************#~
Flexed the jewels, then she chose to talk to me
~#**************#~
It was no doubt that babycakes was hawkin me
~#**************#~
So I kicked it, upped the digits, terrific
~#**************#~
Not knowin she was scopin me cause I was mad splifted
~#**************#~
Later on that week, honeydip freaked the funk
~#**************#~
Playin Redman and Erick out like two chumps
~#**************#~
Callin him weekdays, callin me weeknights
~#**************#~
(Who had her weekends?) Whichever man would freak right
~#**************#~
Things got cozy one night like dynamite
~#**************#~
We stripped to bare backs and took care of the bare facts
~#**************#~
(No hats? Damn, Black) The Funkadelic
~#**************#~
Took a splash, you know how that go, fellas
~#**************#~
Two months later (See you later, alligator)
~#**************#~
She was pissed and I ended up seein my physician
~#**************#~
She took a blood test, she took a head check
~#**************#~
Looked at me thinkin, “Why the hell he isnt dead yet?”
~#**************#~
Then I asked her, “Why you lookin at me?”
~#**************#~
She said, “Redman, because you have the HIV”
~#**************#~
Called Erick and his set, that girl, dont mess around
~#**************#~
Too late, cause Erick already had his drawers down, cause its
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
‘Cause its so rough
~#**************#~
‘Cause its so rough
~#**************#~
‘Cause its so rough
~#**************#~
‘Cause its so rough
~#**************#~
‘Cause its so rough
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
To all my brothers, wear your hats, wear your hats
~#**************#~
You can either get with this, or you can either catch the claps
~#**************#~
And to my sisters, make em wear they prophyl-lastic
~#**************#~
‘Cause its drastic, havin another ghetto bastard
~#**************#~
Think Im dying for a piece of butt? Honey, you must be nuts
~#**************#~
You better settle for a wet kiss, so pucker up
~#**************#~
‘Cause you end up messin around catchin the heebie-jeebies
~#**************#~
Lookin like “who done it?” With your face up on the TV
~#**************#~
So next time you want sex, get wreck, but protect
~#**************#~
‘Cause you could be like sexin to your last death
~#**************#~
And if you still dont know the time, press rewind
~#**************#~
‘Cause the next thing you might hear is a flatline, word
~#**************#~
*Beep*
