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? Because so many are relatin' to this Jealous is how they feel it intentionally But they start to love it because I made it eventually Pumpin' the music I keep the music like pumpin' 'Cause Ren ain't in here for nothin', 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 'cause 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 that wanna scrap with me That 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 'Cause when it comes to Ren there's no comparison And if you try to be me, it's quite embarrassin' But I understand 'cause you're mentally slow 'Cause I can tell from the jump you're too nervous to go If it ain't ruff, it ain't me The gangsta's black and he's about to attack If it ain't ruff, it ain't me Lemme bust a freestyle there - (alright bet) I can tell that you're afraid to fight me Simple because you lost the crowd and they had to invite me Because your 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 causes acne It's ridiculous thinkin' that you can jack me This is the round where the punch will go Into 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 chosen 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 a Kangol Givin' a 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 nine volt battery And the odds for me to conquer is averagely good Meanin' I'mma flow I'm from the streets so, yo, I'm ready to go If 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 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 a dance with the rest then I kick them Tell 'em they're guilty, and peep out the bailer And get a new track o' drums so I can play with Percussion, pumpin' it loud when I perform Yo, you wanna play in my game, put on a uniform It ain't a rule in the book you have to go by Hey, 'cause when it comes to cheatin', yo, you should know I For fear in the hearts 'cause it's the hearts full of fear 'Cause 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 and not a trooper But a soldier with a top rankin' Givin' dope material, the hell with the gankin' So play like an airplane and just jet And keep your blood pressure low 'cause I'm a threat, if not I'm afraid of the show That you're a sucker and you're too nervous to go If 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) The gangsta's black If it ain't ruff, it ain't me The gangsta's black and he's about to attack If it ain't ruff, it ain't me (yo Ren) The gangsta's black If it ain't ruff, it ain't me The gangsta's black and he's about to attack If it ain't ruff, it ain't me (yo Ren) The gangsta's black
