Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ren is a villain and you're just a hostage
So whenever I'm stepping, cover your head like an ostrich
Groupies been waiting for this, suckers been hating for this
You know why?
'Cause so many are relating to this
Jealous is how the villain intentionally
But then start to love it because I made it eventually
Pumping the music, I keep the music like pumping
'Cause Ren ain't in it for nothing
I keep the average crowd jumping, yo
You know the color, the villain's in black
Always down to make noise and attack
So you better get back unless you wanna come with it
And make your face like a target, and close your eyes when I hit it
You're screaming with fear, but it's with fear that you're screaming
You're waking up in a sweat, 'cause Ren is giving bad dreams
And I'm not scheming, I'm just telling the facts
That's how it is when N.W.A. starts to jack
[Verse 2]
So brothers that wanna scrap with me
That squeezin' and sneezin' won't last a laugh with me
Especially begging to write some lyrics with me
I just snatch your girl to take a nap with me
'Cause when it comes to Ren there's no comparison
And if you try to be me, it's quite embarrassing
But I understand 'cause you're mentally slow
'Cause I can tell from the jump
You're too nervous to go
[Verse 3]
If it ain't rough, it ain't me
Gangster in black, and he's about to attack
If it ain't rough, it ain't me
Let me bust a freestyle then, a'ight bet
[Verse 4]
I can tell that you're afraid to fight me
Simple because you lost the crowd, and they had to invite me
Because your sweat is a puddle, but they're the puddles of sweat
I'm a threat so get a cold rag and wipe your neck
And clean the dirt off your face that cause acne
It's ridiculous thinking that you could jack me
This is the round where the punch will go
Until your A-G-A-D that's known as a blow
I'm making a point, but there's a point that I'm making
Like see I'm hating, I'm faking, I keep the suckers like shaking
Scared to speak with a thought when they're chosen
The sound of my voice in their ear and they're frozen
This is a battle to the death, it's like the same old
Against a brother on a tip with my Kangol
Giving 'em pain, but it's with pain that I'm giving
But I'm comparing and tearing, but I'm making a living
With the hype of a nine volt battery
And the odds for me to conquer, is averagely good
Meaning I'm flow, I'm from the streets so yo, I'm ready to go
[Verse 5]
If it ain't rough, it ain't me
Gangster in black, and he's about to attack
If it ain't rough, it ain't me
Man, what you gon' do now? Get funky
[Verse 6]
The do not disturb sign is in effect
While I'm thinking of a fool to select
To give the victim the verdict, so for the verdict, the victim
Slamming my vocals on a dance with the rest, then I kick them
Tell them they guilty and peep out the bailiff
And get a new track of drums, so I can play with percussion
Bumping it loud when I perform, yo
You want to play in my game, put on a uniform
It ain't a rule in the book you have to go by hate
'Cause when it comes to cheating
Yo, you should know I put fear in her heart
'Cause it's the hearts full of fear
'Cause what you hear in your ear is something funky and clear
[Verse 7]
The Hulk was incredible, yo, but Ren he was stupid
But now I'm ruthless
A civilian, and not a trooper, but a soldier
With a top ranking, given the material, to hell with the ganking
So play like an airplane, and just jet
And keep your blood pressure low, 'cause I'm a threat
'Cause if not, I'm afraid of the show, that you're a sucker
And you're too nervous to go
[Verse 8]
If it ain't rough, it ain't me
Yo Ren, gangster in black, and he's about to attack
If it ain't rough, it ain't me
Yo Ren, gangster in black
If it ain't rough, it ain't me
Gangster in black, and he's about to attack
If it ain't rough, it ain't me
Yo Ren, gangster in black
If it ain't rough, it ain't me
Gangster in black, and he's about to attack
If it ain't rough, it ain't me
Yo Ren, if it ain't black
