Ruff Ruff - Boogie Down Productions, Freddie Foxxx

Tah!

Think you dope?

Want this title, then come step up, or step off!

Ayo, check this out, all jokes aside;

let’s get busy

Word!

Blastmaster KRS-One in the house

Hah!

everybody for some reason

Wanna be a gangsta (Pump!)—you don’t know nothin' (Pump!)

About bein' no gangsta (Pump! Pump!)

Word up, ayo, check this out

This is Freddie F-O-X-X-X

And guess what’s next?

Every posse wan fi chat, they wan fi chat, they wan fi chat

Every posse wan fi chat, but ya knows dem is wack

Every posse wan fi chat, they wan fi chat, they wan fi chat

Every posse wan fi chat, but ya knows dem is wack

Every posse wan fi chat, but ya knows dem is wack

They jump pon the mic, an' wan fi do it like dat

But, ah!

Ah, this a KRS ménage à trois

When me open up to work, I put a cape on me back

Then me fly all around the MC world

KRS, the Article is not to be fucked with

Fucked with, tempered with, or tampered with

Don’t give a fuck if you wanna riff, but when you

Say Kris—already derivative of Kris

My eyebrows lift and that ass I get with (Huh!)

As a matter of fact, I attack, hijack

Set back, your career, like a quarterback

That broke his back, my tongue is like a bat

Your eye’ll get black, you’ll need an icepack (Ruff!)

I’m all that, come with your whole pack

You’ll be prayin to the god of Isaac

So Freddie Foxxx, it’s time to get tough (Uh huh?)

Just get on the mic and get ruff!

Ruff!

Listen as I flex, 'cause I’m about to rip up shop

It’s the return of the hip-hop master, Freddie the Foxxx

(Bo!) Rappers that see me don’t even speak, just walk

'Cause I’m the maddest nigga in New York (Ah!)

I see a rapper in the crowd that I don’t like

I wanna fight, so when I drop the mic

I’mma jump off the stage, bum-rush ya crowd of wimps

(Suckers) that wanna be pimps

I heard it said that a pimp’ll sell his ass

If his ho won’t, but Freddie Foxxx don’t

Cover your chest G, you better wear a bulletproof vest, see

'Cause I’m about to leave this place a motherfuckin' mess

Open hearts on the floor as I explore

Rappers that wanted to be more than number four

Number one’s a hard spot;

either you fight

Or get shot, so this is what I got (Pump!)

Three TEC-9s, my uzi, ten grenades, my razor blades

And I aim to get paid!

So who wanna step to this?

Don’t come soft

'Cause I’mma straight up knock niggas off (Pump! Pump!)

And when the cops come to get me

I’mma take a dead body, and bout ten cops with me

I’m sick and tired of hearin' rappers talk smack

About who’s nice, and who’s wack—motherfuck that

They know my style, and my rep, every stage

That I stepped on—I was the rapper they slept on

But y’all rappers keep sleepin—'cause when I plant

Bombs in your house, I’mma wake you up and punch you

In your motherfuckin mouth, knock your wife out

Take your sons to safety, 'cause they’re just kids

And I wanna raise 'em to face me

And when they get a little bigger

I’mma mop them little niggas, and put their fingerprints

On the trigger—double homicide, call the vice

Another rapper and his family with no life

Yeah, you’re Mr. Tough and you’re full of stuffin'

And Freddie Foxxx caught you bluffin'

I got you in my torture chamber and you scream

Oh, God damn, it’s like Silence of the Lamb

But I don’t mangle 'em and eat 'em

I take emcees to the war zone, and there I defeat 'em

It gets much worse, with every verse

As the F-R-E-D-D-I-E F-O-X-X-X hurts!

Punishes, stomps, smashes

Crushes, maims, you suckers know my name!

Ayo, Kris!

I’m rhymin' long enough (Say what?)

Get on the mic and get ruff!

Ruff!

This is the year that I go all out (Why?)

Edutainment’s what I’m all about (And)

I don’t eat franks with the sauerkraut ('Cause)

Because I don’t eat pork from the tail to the snout (Kick it)

(well kick it) Get on down, to the hip-hip-hop

Before I start, peace to Scott La Rock!

(Word)

Now let me drop the style that has action

'Cause many emcees don’t believe they’re rappin'

They’re lost, crazy mixed-up in their identity

This is not, what hip-hop is meant to be (Word up)

I come unique, I can’t be beat, hardcore street

For the kids, with a hundred-and-fifty on their feet

(kick it) I don’t compete, I defeat and delete ya

Then critique ya, all emcees retreat, here comes the teacher!

Chewin' suckers like Smuckers

Hittin' on, sittin' on, shittin' on, flippin' on motherfuckers

Yeah, I’m like the movie Aliens

I hide inside your right-hand man, when you think you got me

Bam!

My head comes out your chest

A mutilated mess of nastiness

Chunks of bloody flesh, yes, KRS on the slaughter

Specialize in instant-rhyme style, you simply add water

Evian, or Poland Spring, then

Ring-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding-ding

Back in the days, I wrote South Bronx

The Juice Crew got stomped, lick two shot

Pump!

Pump!

Really it was Magic’s fault

Always wanna diss somebody, he got put to a halt

It’s wack, when a sucker DJ rattles on

Soupin' up emcees to battle on song

That’s wrong, but in any event

I drop the classic in 1992 the original

It ain’t plastic, everybody know, BDP

Is fantastic, burn like acid

Credit card plastic, stretch like elastic

Love and respect is the tactic

Bam!

In your motherfuckin' face

KRS in the place

I never liked listening to bitches and hoes anyway

(Fi-yah!!)

Well you know I like hoes, 'cause I’m a mack

But I don’t like the wack tracks, you know what I’m sayin'?

And for all your suckers out there

That underestimate the militant mack, get the bozack

You know what I mean?

(Word) Word!

You know why?

Every posse wan fi chat, they wan fi chat, they wan fi chat

Every posse wan fi chat, but ya knows dem is wack

Every posse wan fi chat, ya know dem is wack

Every posse wan fi chat, but ya knows dem is wack

Yes

Fresh for 1992, you suckers

Motherfuckers!

Brrrrrrt!
