So Ruff by MC Twist and the Def Squad Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 1989

[Intro]
Yo Kay Jay, kick in the bass
Yeah
It's gettin critical
Yo Flash, make the tables talk

(So Ruff, So Tuff)
There you go homeboy
(So Ruff, So Tuff)
Word
(So Ruff, So Tuff)
(So Ruff, So Tuff, Out Here Baby)


[Verse 1]
Check it out I got mom, pushing me on my back
Telling me the stuff I lagged
I'm being pressured to do good in school
She can't afford to raise no fool
She wants a lawyer, a doctor with a P.H.D
Graduated from a big university
So I try, but then I quit
'cause I felt like teachers weren't doing shit
I need time, just to be alone
I'm getting close to the panic zone
Lost my girl, she said to mе
"Making good love just ain't the key"
What shе wants, It's what I lack
And that's making big money, stack by stack
Well then I hit it off in the street
'cause I can't face the agony of defeat
Cause It's

(So Ruff, So Tuff)
But baby I'm trying
(So Ruff, So Tuff)
Damn
(So Ruff, So Tuff)
Man, life's a mess
(So Ruff, So Tuff, Out Here Baby)


[Verse 2]
Check it out I got problems, that I need to solve
And somehow I keep gettin' involved
In mess that I guess, I shouldn't be in
Getting in trouble only makes me grin (Get Down)
An automatic pointed to my head
Well then I take it, I'm in the red
Do what I can, don't need to die
Over something like M.O.N.E.Y
I gotta get it all off my chest
Warrants keep coming for my arrest
I need big money quick, so what the hell
I'll be a dope man, get clientele
I can't help it, I know its wrong
To hold a good job takes too long
Build up an empire 'cause I can't wait
Kick back, watch my cash go circulate
Cause It's

(So Ruff, So Tuff)
What 'cha mean you don't like what I'm doing?
(So Ruff, So Tuff)
I'm making them big dollars, you know what I'm sayin'?
(So Ruff, So Tuff)
Nah, hell
(So Ruff, So Tuff Out Here Baby)

[Break]
Yo Flash, I know the groove is sweet
But what's missing from this beat?
Is your style and your finesse
So tell me homeboy what do you suggest?
(There's not a problem that I can't fix, 'cause I can do it, in every mix)
Breakdown

(Hip' n Clap, Hip' n Clap)

I've been stressed out for a couple of weeks
C'mon KJ let's Jam da Freaks (Get Down)
Leaving worries and troubles behind
And fun, is only what I'm out to find (Get Down)
I'm outta here, I'm takin a walk
Yo Flash, make the turntables talk
(Flash is gonna rock, Flash is gonna rock)
(Flash is gonna rock, Flash is gonna, Flash is gonna)
(Flash is gonna rock, Oh'Rock, uuuh)


[Outro]
That work
We gettin' filthy you know? without a doubt
So bring the beat back just one more time
So I can let ya'll know what I'm talking about
Ya'll keep slingin' that dope, big time
'cause the moneys flowing
But in the end, you know you can't pretend
Cause they'll raid your pad without you knowin'
Then, hit you with that crime
And, make you spend a lot of time in jail
For selling crack, could you just go cuttin' slack
So pay attention
Listen to this rhyme, before someone
Drops the big dime on you
'cause when you are caught
Is too late to give it a second thought
So just chill, boy
