Ruffneck
MC Lyte Lyrics

Gotta who? Gotta have a what?
Who do I need? What kind of man do I have to get?

Gotta what yo, gotta get a ruffneck hey!
I need a guy with a rough personality, and I have to get him.

I need a ruffneck
I want a man who has a tough and edgy personality.

I need a dude with a attitude
I need a man who has a strong and confident personality.

Only needs his fingers with his food
He doesn't need any fancy utensils or manners while eating.

Karl Kani saggin' timbos draggin'
He wears fashionable clothing that is baggy and hangs low.

Frontin' in his ride with his home boys braggin'
He shows off and boasts about himself while cruising with his friends.

Lying 'bout the Lyte how he knocked boots last night
He's telling lies about his sexual encounter with Lyte.

But he's a ruffneck so that's alright
Because he has a tough personality, his misbehavior is tolerated.

Triple o baldie under the hood
He has a bald head and is working on fixing his car.

Makin' noise with the boys up to no good
He's hanging around with his friends and causing trouble.

C-low on the down low cops come around so ruffneck front like he gotta go
He keeps a low profile when police are near.

Evil grin with a mouth full of gold teeth
He has gold teeth and shows his wicked smile.

Startin' beef is how he spells relief
Starting fights is a way for him to feel better.

Actin' like he don't care
He pretends not to care about things.

But all I gotta do is beep him 911 and he'll be there
If I need him, I can call him, and he'll come to help me.

Right by my side with his ruffneck tactics
He uses his aggressive personality to protect me.

Ruffneck attitude, the ruffneck bastard
He has a rough and tough character that can be seen as obnoxious.

Hey! Gotta what? Yo gotta get a ruffneck
Hey! What do I need? I need a guy with a rough personality, and I have to find him.

I need it and I want it so I gotta get a ruffneck
I desire and require a man who has a hard personality, so I have to look for one.

I need a man that's quick and swift
I want a man who is fast and efficient.

To put out the spliff and get stiff
He can quickly stop smoking and get aroused.

Boxer shorts everything is fitting large
He wears large clothing, including his underwear.

Body ain't gotta be large to be in charge
He doesn't need to have a big body to be dominant.

Pumpin' in and out and out and in and here we go
He's engaging in sexual activity with me.

He knows exactly how I want my flow and that's slow
He knows how I like it and does it slowly.

Never questioning can he get buck wild
He never questions his ability to be aggressive and wild.

He's gotta smack it, lick it, swallow it up style
He enjoys hitting, licking, and swallowing during sex.

Drink a beer, sittin' his chair
He likes to relax and drink beer while sitting in his chair.

Hands in his pants fiddlin' with his dick hairs
He touches his genitals while sitting in his chair.

He's a rudeboy, a raggamuf
He has a Jamaican-style personality that is tough and aggressive.

Ready to bag another brother that he ranks not ruff enough
He's willing to beat up someone who he feels is less aggressive than he is.

Cause if it ain't ruff it ain't right
If it's not tough and aggressive, then it's not what he wants.

And if he ain't ruff, well then he's all wrong for the Lyte
If he's not tough, then he's not suitable for Lyte's personality.

I love my ruffneck and ain't nothing going down
I love my tough man, and nothing bad is happening.

Or going up if my ruffneck ain't in town
If my aggressive man is not around, then nothing good is happening either.

I need a man that don't snitch like a bitch
I want a man who doesn't tell on anyone, like a coward.

Shed tears or switch
He doesn't cry or change his behavior to suit others.

Doin' whatever it takes to make ends meet
He does whatever it takes to earn money and survive.

But never meetin' the end cause he knows the street
He's always busy with street life and never achieves his goals.

Eat sleep shit fuck, eat sleep shit
His life consists of basic actions like eating, sleeping, and having sex.

Then it's back to the streets to make a buck quick
After satisfying his basic needs, he goes back to street life to earn money quickly.

Quick to beg even though gimme gottem here
He quickly asks for things, even though he has them already.

Hit'em wit a bit a skins then he's out of there
He has sex, then leaves without any attachment.

On the avenue girls are passin' thru
Girls are walking on the street.

Too much of ruffneck so they ain't havin' you
The girls are put off by his tough personality, so they reject him.

Hard boppin' always grabbin' his jock and braggin' about his tec
He's always dancing and bragging about his gun to seem tough.

Is the wannabe ruffneck
He's trying to be tough but isn't fully successful.

That's the kind you gotta watch out for
He's a potentially dangerous person to be around.

Just to get a rep he'll pull the plug on the tour
He'll cancel an event to become famous and tough.

Pissin' in corners
He urinates in random places.

Doing 80 by funeral mourners
He drives dangerously fast past a funeral.

Showing little respect
He has little regard for other people's feelings or actions.

Now that's a ruffneck
That kind of behavior is an example of a tough and aggressive person.
