[Verse 1: Kool Keith]
Style or blended, well intended
Vocally expensive
Word for word, intensive-
Carin' with no comparin'
Two sounds like somebody scary
Like it's when it's trimmed and hairy
The opponent can't disable me
Hope they spittin' faithfully
This is a major week
Y'all wrapped in the quesadillas
Y'all remember who gotta retreat and re-up
If the soldiers train, they brave, keep ya mouth re-shut
Get on the court and re-up
Stick ya arms out for defense
Some haven't played very recent
Shattered backboard, pick up the pieces
Supervised, to check the previous, the mischievous
Chabot goggles on, ya know I could see with 'em
Skyhook over they rhythm
Violatin' they stanzas when they spit 'em
The interruption is like I'm droppin' by with a bag
To perform an exorcism
First I infiltrate in any craftsmanship
Dismantle they manuscript
Leavin' 'em stone cold with eucalyptus on they lips
Everything said by a bystander
Incredible Hulk gripped
Make sure it's prepared to mix
More equipment, they gonna get
Watch 'em twist and have a fit
Watch 'em twist and have a fit
[Chorus: Kool Keith]
Rugged rugged lyrics
Rugged for the spirit
Rugged when you hear it
Man don't cheer it
Rugged rugged lyrics
Rugged for the spirit
Rugged when you hear it
Don't fear it

[Verse 2: Edan]
To illustrate racial unity, I point to the zebra
Nature be the greatest teacher
Underwater sea creatures, with unbelievable features
Reality is Masterpiece Theater
Half of these beginners got ya old pros froze
Like 1973 TV dinners
Ya man braggin on baggin 3 womens (womens, womens, womens)
He was last seen leavin' the VD clinic
Pardon me if I speak exquisite
We simply access the peace within us to reach pinnacles
Steppin' through the screen at the cinema
Gave the audience irregular arrhythmia
Y'all be some rappin' ass drug distributors
Ya man's name is Lidia frontin' like he's straight outta Libya
Body of work is all cap, all your bones is fibulas
Fall back or we might get rid of ya
Life is cyclical, the earth is circular
Can't work with ya, viewpoints is perpendicular
Ya'll frontin' that Rembrandt
But then can't forge ahead without swipin' that certain signature
How you gonn' let that Serpent sit wit ya?
Build with the devil, break bread with church's minister?
Livin' the reverse of miniature
Killin' the curse with the insidious
Triple six insignia, syllable swerve was sinister
Listeners purse lips, as if the Hearse was vinegar
[Chorus: Kool Keith]
Rugged rugged lyrics
Rugged for the spirit
Rugged when you hear it
Man don't cheer it
Rugged rugged lyrics
Rugged for the spirit
Rugged when you hear it
Don't fear it
