Nuff' Of The Ruff Stuff |
I told you before: you burn when you play with fire |
So take off your hats, matter of fact hail the new Sire |
You’re hungry as hell, so i’m cookin up the chowder |
It’s laced with ingredients, gon' come on like gunpowder |
Pom-pom! |
lick a shot, then I got to order |
I’m runnin for the border for causin disorder |
Pom-pom! |
lick a shot, got on my defenses |
I’m runnin for the fences, of course I’m relentless |
The particular name of this queen is Latifah |
I’ve often been classified as a feminine teacher |
Collectively capture the heart of a nation |
Love my culture and show appreciation |
You’re lookin for the black influ'? |
I do want too give it to you |
What are you mad? |
Give me some of what you had! |
You can huff-huff, puff-puff and bluff-bluff |
But I got nuff of the ruff stuff |
(Ruff and tuff) |
(And all that stuff) |
Now nuff of the ruff stuff, that’s what I do, and I do it well |
The proof is in the puddin, I show and prove, not show and tell |
Talk tales, you get caught up in a crossfire |
Buckshot must be what you want and desire |
I write concepts, I don’t be frontin or be buggin |
I solely write the rhymes for the beats that you be lovin |
It’s a love thang, the Queen doin her thang |
If I was a liquid, you would drink me like Tanq' |
You think I’m kickin things that I myself don’t even heed? |
I rap not for the love of music, but for greed? |
«Latifah's booty, yo, she could never succeed» |
Shiiit… |
You watch me do it and boom it, the Flavor Unit will snap necks |
You a-fi listen a likkle, you fi go buy the cassette |
You’re starvin, cause you ain’t had enough |
That’s right, nuff of the ruff stuff |
(Ruff and tuff) |
(And all that stuff) |
You talk about flavor… |
I got enough flavor to make a grapefruit sweet |
Get old ladies jumpin out of their seats |
Change a peach to a pear to a plum with a little sun 'n rays |
I got flavor for days |
Now I’m the type that the fellas call a honey, and |
]From me you know you get a worth for your money, and |
This is no meaningless attack, I gave you a chance |
Matter of fact, yo, I ordered them to 'dance |
For me', they tried to turn me 'inside out' |
They felt the 'wrath of my madness', I let them 'come into my house' |
It’s called 'latifah's law', for the criminal to curse |
And all the gentlemen know its rule: 'ladies first' |
Not the typical female that tends to |
Fall vitim to the 'evil that men do' |
Small puff, I call your bluff |
I’m not mad, I just had enuff of the ruff stuff |
(Ruff and tuff) |
(And all that stuff) |
Everybody know Latifah love positivity |
Now positivity erase negativity |
Mi comin inna di dance ??? |
Me rollin with the Flavor Unit posse |
As a black woman mi want equality |
Equality, and di freedom to be me |
Mi have a mother Rita, only call her Mommy |
Likkle brother and sister, Angelo and Kelly |
A brother in them laws, but mi call him Winki |
Lost mi daddy and ??? |
family |
??? |
black ??? |
black country |
Believe in one God, one tribe, one destiny |
Cease! |
