[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 n***as 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)
