(Heavy D) This One goes out to the rough And Rugged muthafuckas out there
(Latifah) - Yes Baby
(Heavy D) - Strictly on the Latifah tip
(Latifah) Yo, This is queen Latifah in the house
I got my boy Heavy D, My Boy Treach and my Boy KRS-One in the house to rip some shit with me right quick
TREACH
The quicker committee gettin witty for many cause the war ain't one
This the city where I'm From, I'll glue ya titties to ya tongue
It's on like this with The Black Bleep the blip
Smokin' Shit with mad misfits
The 1 man, 1 mold, Murder 1
Murder gold, 1 hard headache to hold
Word to god It's good as Gold
If it Ain't rough, it ain't ashy & Brick Thick
And If It ain't nasty, Naughty's pissin on your picnic
Rough is the place, the space, knuckle which way you think
Here to put a fat black nose on the Black Sphnix
I don't shoot to get pimples order your Christmas
I shot ST Nick
There's stuff for the kids I ain't get
No One under 17 Admitted, So I Came 18 deep
You can raid but you can't fade me
If It ain't rough, it ain't rugged
And If You Can't hear it, you can't dub it. COME ON

CHORUS (X2)
If It ain't rough, I could do without it
If It ain't rough, Just throw it to the curb
If It ain't rough, He could do without it
If It ain't rough, It's working my nerves

HOOK BY HEAVY D
Tell me how you like it - Rough, Tell me how you need it - Rough, Tell me how you keep it - Rough, Tell me how you want it - Rough

HEAVY D
Tuck Away your entire stuff, I'm comin' tough, rugged and rough, from a blunt, take puff UHHH
Never joke with a tech nine hard than a sex mob
Next time, flex when it's my time
I'll take a chump or a champ a clamp or a zamp so now the rolly polly holly molly
I'm magnificent
Skip to my lou, gather up your crew, Let the heavysetters Show you what a N.... could really do today
We all know about body bags, but seems everybody brags about being tough, catch a body tag
Knowin well, they just cream puffs talkin tough cause they've stuff, It's a bluff, They ain't tough they ain't nothin'

CHORUS
If It ain't rough, I could do without it
If It ain't rough, Just kick it to the curb
If It ain't rough, He could do without it
If It ain't rough, It's working my nerves

If It ain't rough, Now I could do without it
If It ain't rough, Just kick it to the curb
If It ain't rough, He could do without it
If It ain't rough, you know It's working my nerves

KRS ONE
Follow me now massive! Follow me now massive! Follow me crew follow me crew
KRS one in the party just a gwan wanna (LAITFAH) "ease off"
Here we go, Yo, You Know the flow, I get high & Low
You Know, Why you wanna flow with the pro, Oh, no no no no no no no
Breakin' rappers in half by the ass is my only task
Gold & Platinum Plaques will pass, only tlaent will last
I come to the party prepared to kick Ass
You come to the party well prepared then get scared.
You're through and need stitching up, You and your crew start bitching up
(Line sampled on "Ova Confident" By Nine) Where you gonna live around where I'm not stompin' It? I really believe you're a wee bit ova confident
On MTV, You wanna down rate me quick, yeah I'm a hypocrite
When You in my face, you in my dick
Consequently your lyrics go flip, get a grip,
You Straight on some sucka shit
CHORUS
If It ain't rough, I could do without it
If It ain't rough, so kick it to the curb
If It ain't rough, you know people could do without it
If It ain't rough, It's working my nerves
If It ain't rough, I could do without it
If It ain't rough, so kick it to the curb
If It ain't rough, you know people do without it
If It ain't rough, you know It's working my god damn nerves

LATIFAH
Here comes the queen, I'll make a woman on the track get attracted like a fiend to the beat so I rap
You're looking for a friend to the end, good, that me
But if you're looking for a Gangsta bitch, That's exactly what you're gonna see
Ain't no way, Ain't no say, This ain't your lucky day
So go pray, Now you pay cause I don't FUCKIN play
Matter fact, I think Ice-T, he put it just right
"You diss me on record, see me fight"
Just throw up the joints and get to the point
And cut all the talk, the BS can walk
You test my skills, you get put to death
I'm sick of all the huff puff blow your house down BULL-
SHIT I heard last week
You get ya ass beat
So Watch the way you approach the Queen
If it ain't rough I'll send that ass to the guillotines

(Chorus)
You ain't gotta be no superstar
I only want to find out who you are
And we gotta be no Superman
So if you wanna talk to me, you can

My girlies caught me on a good day
I was (something) to move a job
So we took it to a club
Nigga we would make out a little
And plus at the time I was single, a little
So I said "Fine, we could meet up about nine"

So anyway we crossing the place where bub is flowing
We walking around, giving up peace to everyone we knowin
Some people in the joint is yellin "Hurt me, Hurt me"
I'm working my way over to the bar cus I'm thirsty
And then I see this guy
Oh no, I think he sikes me
I smile cus he's fly
He smiles back, I think he likes me

Well then it takes a twist
He sends his homeboy to talk to me cus he's scared to get dissed
I don't walk baby
I don't bite neither
You coulda asked me yourself for my number to my beeper
The worst thing I'da said was "No"
So maybe next time you better push a (something)

(Chorus)

Saturday moving in the house
Lookin at the videos
At the same time I'ma tryna put on my clothes
First date (First Date) with the guy's name was Nate
Was he fly?
Yes he was
Word up, the type you have on a plate
Cus I only met him last night
So I don't really know him, but I hope it goes right
So he pulls up at my door in a twenty-four foot limo
What is on his (something), are we expecting more?
He showered me with gifts and then he kissed me on my hand
Now what was in your plan?
I really didn't understand
We're only going to the movies
Either you're trying to impress me or watch you're trying to get the poony

Listen baby, I don't want a condo
You can make me smile a little and give me convo
All I might require from my man is intelligence
And all them other material things is irrelevant

(Chorus twice)

Now if you ready to deal with a girl who consider herself a queen
And you know how to treat a queen
Then step to the scene
We can sit alone in a room and deal
We can take a ride listening to music and chill
And I can do the crazy things I never thought I'd do
And maybe I can do all of those crazy things with you
Cus you ain't gotta be no superstar honey
All I wanna find out is exactly who you are
Money ain't gone make me love ya
And even with your car
So cease with that attitude
With that attitude you won't be getting far

And I love all of my brothers with a passion
Can't a sister get the same type of reaction
(Yeah) If you cool like dat
Take a trip to Jersey cus that's where I'm at

(Chorus)

We gon take this one over to 275 Paulstand
384 Steuyversant, we gon take it over to
155 Morgan
144 Harrison

Chorus: (1x)
Just Another Day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feelin good today, feelin lovely-yay
Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feelin good today
I hear the(gunshot), but I'm here to stay

[Verse 1]
Well it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
A beautiful day in the neighbor-hood
Can't go wrong, I feel strong and the flavor's good
I'm wit whateva comes my way, hip-hop hooray
Latifah's on vacation, I'm just plain on day to day
I strap out, step out in every direction
Glock, tech's, jimmy hat's, in case I need protection
So I land cruise, play I wanna be's
A kid in the increase gettin jack right in front of me
So I pull the tech close, my finger's on the trigger
Don't wanna get wet, so they step
Cause mine's is slighty bigger
But better yet, I'ma threat, so ya better walk
Or get sketched out in chalk, cause I don't wanna talk
I stay true blue, I'm hopin it's you too
I got the fever for the flava of a??????
So it's back to the block time to play
It's just another day around the way, hey

[Chorus: 1x]

[Verse 2]
Time to chill, hit the hill, uptown let's keep it sight's
Shoot some pool, act a fool, cause it's own tonight
I'm doin the knowledge, it's not easy, easy
Watchin a cop cuff a kid for sellin a clip to a D.T.
But it's home, so I flex, get pressure's off my chest
Slip in a tape, now which hood should I hit next
Stomach ache, had a steak, and take for a bean pie
Get a final call for

Uh, U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity
U.N.I.T.Y., love a black man from infinity to infinity
(Who you calling a bitch?)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black woman from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain't a bitch or a ho)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black man from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain't a bitch or a ho)

Instinct leads me to another flow
Everytime I hear a brother call a girl a bitch or a ho
Trying to make a sister feel low
You know all of that gots to go
Now everybody knows there's exceptions to this rule
Now don't be getting mad, when we playing, it's cool
But don't you be calling out my name
I bring wrath to those who disrespect me like a dame
That's why I'm talking, one day I was walking down the block
I had my cutoff shorts on right cause it was crazy hot
I walked past these dudes when they passed me
One of 'em felt my booty, he was nasty
I turned around red, somebody was catching the wrath
Then the little one said (Yeah me bitch) and laughed
Since he was with his boys he tried to break fly
Huh, I punched him dead in his eye and said "Who you calling a bitch?"

(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black woman from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain't a bitch or a ho)
(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black man from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain't a bitch or a ho)

I hit the bottom, ain't nowhere else to go but up
Bad days at work, if you an attitude then you were rough
And take it out on me but that's about enough
You put your hands on me again I'll put your ass in handcuffs
I guess I fell so deep in love I grew dependency
I was too blind to see just how it was affecting me
All I knew was you, you was all the man I had
And I was scared to let you go, even though you treated me bad
But I don't want my kids to see me getting beat down
By daddy smacking mommy all around
You say I'm nothing without ya, but I'm nothing with ya
A man don't really love you if he hits ya
This is my notice to the door, I'm not taking it no more
I'm not your personal whore, that's not what I'm here for
And nothing good gonna come to ya til you do right by me
Brother you ain't ?sick? (Who you calling a bitch?)

(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black woman from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain't a bitch or a ho)
(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black man from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain't a bitch or a ho)

What's going on in your mind is what I ask ya
But like Yo-Yo, you don't hear me though
You wear a rag around your head and you
Call yourself a "Gangsta Bitch" now that you saw Apache's video
I saw you wilding, acting like a fool
I peeped you out the window jumping girls after school
But where did all of this come from?
A minute ago, you was a nerd and nobody ever heard of ya
Now you a wannabe...hard
You barely know your ABC's, please
There's plenty of people out there with triggers ready to pull it
Why you trying to jump in front of the bullet (Young lady)
Uh, and real bad girls are the silent type
Ain't none of this work getting your face sliced
Cause that's what happened to your homegirl, right? Bucking with nobody
She got to wear that for life (Who you calling a bitch?)

(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black woman from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain't a bitch or a ho)
(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black man from (You must let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain't a bitch or a ho)

Ooh, Think of the weekend love
Watch this

Weekend love
Gonna spend a weekend love
Weekend love
Just a case of weekend love

If you've been misled by anything I said
Didn't mean to turn you on, but the vibe was oh, so strong
And you got things to do when I have got things too
So I'll catch you on the weekend
Mondays to Fridays, I don't see you then

A WEEK and a END
And a LOVE we were meant to be
A WEEK, a END
LOVE, we were meant to be

Weekend love
Gonna spend a weekend love
Weekend love
Just a case of weekend love

Seems it's been so long
Since you thrilled me with your charms
I tenderly imagine me resting in your arms
You've got things to do when I have got things too
So I'll catch you on the weekend
Mondays to Fridays, I don't see you then

Because we're sorry when we part and we love when we meet
I know we only do that only once in a week
Sorry when we part and we love when we meet
I know we only do that only once in a week

I know, you know, we all occupied
From our own love life things has been denied
Many feelin's hide, many tears I've cried
But by the weekend let my spirit divide

Weekend love
Gonna spend a weekend love
Weekend love
Just a case of weekend love

If you've been misled by anything I've said
I didn't mean to turn you on but the vibe was oh, so strong
And you've got things to do when I have got things too
So I'll catch you on the weekend
Mondays to Fridays, I don't see you then

A WEEK and a END
LOVE we were meant to be
A WEEK, a END
LOVE we were meant to be

When we are absent, that is a plus 100 percent
To nourish and cherish every moment
To deliver the goods I am efficient
And I know you're possessed with the ingredients

During the week the days seems to be long
But on the weekend I wish I could reverse it's time
Great things can come in a small bag
So let's make use of the time that we have

When we are together 'cause we stay popular
If we never miss a second of the hour
When we are together I sit and I wonder
If this love is gonna last forever?
Well, then I think and I start remember
That we are a judge star

Weekend love
Gonna spend a weekend love
Weekend love
Just a case of weekend love
