Queen Latifah - Nuff’ of the Ruff’ Stuff’ lyrics
[Queen Latifah - Nuff’ of the Ruff’ Stuff’ lyrics]
Get funky with it
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 to 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 Tang
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 run 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
It's rule: ladies first
Not the typical female that tends to
Fall victim to the evil that men do
Small puff, I call your bluff i'm not mad
I just had enough 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!
