[Chorus]

He's back!

Rough

Rough

He’s back!

Rough

Xtra rough


[Verse 1]

Straight from Long Beach to strong beach to wrong beach

To this, we do it like this!

R-E-G-U-L-A-T-E

'Cause you fools can't MC!

And I’ma let you know

'Cause I control the flow from ocean to water flow

Then I jump the boundaries, and squeeze

Killin' every rapper in Compton except Eiht

Better not step to South Gate! Smash!

Watts, what's up?

Wrap up, smash!

In Inglewood, I caught a bloody bath

South Central got smoked like some hash-ish

What? No capiche?

I put you with the stick and cook like shish kekah (Up in ya bob)

What? I'm on my job!

Rap squad, but who?

Damn, I know already

Steady as it comes, words over drums

For you and you and you too!

So now, the rattle hums

(Rough)


[Chorus]

Rough is the texture

RB Xtra

Feel the blow, so catch a back-to-back one

Rough is the texture

RB Xtra

Rough is the texture

RB Xtra

Rough is the texture

RB Xtra

Feel the blow, so catch a back-to-back one!


[Verse 2]

I'm Mr. Fantastic when shit expands, and stretches, exactly like elastic

(Get down, get down, get down)

Bungee like cord

When I rap, it snaps, you collapse to the pavement!

Huh huh

Bloodstains remain

Then I regain minute quantities of sanity

And uh, let me reiterate

Minute, I do the damage then scoot!

30 with the L. If I'm caught for the killing, so I creep like the stealth-bomber! (rough is the texture)

Haven't you ever heard of a murderer?

Flip flop words, but weird!

Now I got tipsy from redrum!

Damn, I’m drunk

Slurrin’ words in a awkward type wild-style

RB-RB-RB-RB [?]

Over a corpse [?]

Lords of English, linguists, that still exist!

In this tongue twisted

Unrestricted prescription

Prescribed for niggas with epileptic condtions

Herky-jerky [?]

Feel the drum track!

In-deedy, it smack!

Rap a big slip

Calm lips to this!

And uh


[Interlude]

Rough is the texture

Burn

Rough is the texture

Rough

Burn

Burn


[Verse 3]

Mention from the funkiest monk amongst ya

Instructor of the funky drunken monkey method

(Oh oh oh) and you can't stop no black gorilla!

When rap skills go ape!

I’ll scrape my knuckle to the pavement!

Then pound my chest!

Just to stress!

The unorthodox style!

Alligator-orangutan

I compute more words than Win'

Hard drivin', sloppy, you carbon copy

Rough [?] choppy

Now here's your floppy disk! (Dismiss)

Rough!

And rough is the texture!


[Chorus]

Hes back!

Get ready for the verbal attack, Xtra ruff

Xtra ruff!

He’s back!

Xtra ruff!

Hes back!

Get ready for the verbal attack, Xtra ruff

Rough is the texture

Xtra ruff!


[Outro]

Straight from Long Beach to the strong beach

The wrong beach, to diss! We do it like this!

Rough is the texture

RB Xtra

Feel the blow, so catch a back-to-back one

Straight from Long Beach the strong beach

The wrong beach to diss! We do it like this!

Straight from Long Beach the strong beach

The wrong beach to diss! We do it like this!

(Rough)
