[00:00.30]Rakim
[00:11.46]Everybody in the ghetto tell me
[00:13.17]Is it a lie that I must be a roughneck
[00:15.03]And wear a frown just to be down
[00:16.80]I kinda don't agree with being
[00:18.39]Tough
[00:18.69]But you gotta be
[00:19.80]Rough
[00:20.01]It's either you claiming your hood or you're not a gee
[00:22.44]Forget about respect I refuse to be the next guy
[00:25.20]Fitted for a casket either with it or get blasted
[00:27.90]I choose to gang bang they give me a chrome plated trigger
[00:30.57]Say If you got any heart go rob that Mini Mart n***a
[00:33.48]Now look what I done did d**n I had to be the big man
[00:36.42]They're looking at me shifty better shut up 'fore I get slammed
[00:39.15]Man I'm not a thief good grief and I don't wanna act hard
[00:42.27]But then they said if I didn't do it they was gonna gat far
[00:45.09]As I could see
[00:45.75]I was gonna be
[00:46.80]The next new member of the crew cause it's 8 of them and 1 of me
[00:50.25]I don't wanna do it but I will
[00:52.20]Cause I still want folks to think that I'm hard and tough
[00:55.02]Cause you gotta be
[00:57.42]Rough
[01:03.27]Cause you gotta be
[01:04.62]Tough
[01:08.85]Cause you gotta be
[01:12.69]Rough
[01:13.44]I used to be a stick up kid
[01:17.73]Well it's the niggeroe again right back in where I left off
[01:20.91]Still trying to make a decision I might go to prison if I don't step off
[01:23.82]But if I don't rob this store then I'm not sure
[01:26.49]If I'm gonna be considered as a gee
[01:28.44]And you gotta be
[01:29.52]Rough
[01:29.73]Cuffs are temporary homies are for life
[01:31.92]So I grab the deuce deuce and go inside
[01:34.02]I decide to prove in the Mini Mart Don't nobody move
[01:37.44]Start filling up the paper sack with loot or I might shoot
[01:40.47]But things didn't go as planned cause this man had his own gun
[01:43.26]We're standing toe to toe eye to eye so I figured why not
[01:46.62]Pull the trigger Put this n***a on the ground
[01:48.69]It'll show that I had poise then my boy'll know I'm down
[01:51.39]But I didn't do it quick enough or he thought of it first
[01:54.21]Cause he blasted to the chest and now I'm resting yelling Nurse
[01:57.06]And holding on to life or at least trying to hold on
[02:00.21]In a jail ward wearing cuffs
[02:01.92]Cause I had to be
[02:02.97]Rough
[02:03.30]Cause you gotta be
[02:04.38]Tough
[02:04.68]Cause you gotta be
[02:08.46]Rough
[02:09.21]I used to be a stick up kid
[02:14.43]And everybody everybody gotta be rough y'all
[02:20.70]I used to be a stick up kid
[02:27.18]And everybody everybody gotta be tough y'all
[02:33.84]I used to be a stick up kid
[02:36.48]Well that's the end of my tale but before we know
[02:39.36]Fools'll just forget what I said and the story go
[02:41.91]On and on until you're up to no good
[02:44.25]And back throwing up your hood
[02:45.66]And still doing what you shouldn't
[02:47.52]Niggeroes come together cause divided we fall
[02:49.80]So stall that gang s**t stand up
[02:51.63]Quit standing in handcuffs
[02:53.13]Really hard's when you got loot
[02:54.69]And you ain't gotta shoot
[02:55.83]D**n man enough is enough
[03:04.68]So why you gotta be
