[Intro]
Hey, hey
Gotta what? Gotta what? Gotta what? Gotta what?
Gotta what? Gotta what? Gotta what? Gotta what?
Gotta who? Gotta have a what?

[Chorus]
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck
I need it and I want it so I gotta get a ruffneck!
(Gotta who? Gotta have a what? Hey)

[Verse 1]
I need a ruffneck
I need a dude with a attitude
Who only need his fingers with his food
Karl Kani saggin', Timbos draggin'
Frontin' in his ride with his homeboys braggin'
Lying 'bout the Lyte how he knocked boots last night
But he's a ruffneck, so that's a'ight
Triple-O baldy under the hood
Or makin' noise with the boys, up to no good
C-low on the down low
Cops come around so ruffneck front like he gotta go
Evil grin with a mouth full of gold teeth
Startin' beef is how he spells relief
Actin' like he don't care
But all I gotta do is beep him 9-1-1, he'll be there
Right by my side with his ruffneck tactics
Ruffneck attitude, the ruffneck bastard (Hey)
[Chorus]
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck
I need it and I want it so I gotta get a ruffneck!
(Gotta who? Gotta have a what? Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck
I need it and I want it so I gotta get a ruffneck!
(Gotta who? Gotta have a what? Hey)

[Verse 2]
I need a ruffneck
I need a man that's quick and swift
To put out the spliff and get stiff
Boxer shorts, everything is fitting large
But he ain't gotta be large to be in charge
Pumpin' in and out and out and in and here we go
He knows exactly how I want my flow and that's slow
Never questioning can he get buckwild
He's gotta smack it, lick it, swallow it up style
Or drink a beer, sittin' his chair
Hands in his pants, fiddlin' with them dick hairs
He's a rudeboy, a raggamuf'
Ready to bag another brother that he ranks not ruff enough
'Cause if it ain't ruff it ain't right
And if he ain't right, well then he's all wrong for the Lyte
I love my ruffneck and ain't nothing going down
Or going up if my ruffneck ain't in town (Hey)
[Chorus]
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck
I need it and I want it so I gotta get a ruffneck!
(Gotta who? Gotta have a what? Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck
I need it and I want it so I gotta get a ruffneck!
(Gotta who? Gotta have a what? Hey)

[Verse 3]
I need a ruffneck
I need a man that don't snitch like a bitch
Shed tears or switch
Doin' whatever it takes to make ends meet
But never meetin' the end 'cause he knows the street
He eat, sleep, shit, fuck, eat, sleep, shit
Then it's back to the streets to make a buck quick
Quick to beg even though gimme got him here
Hit 'em wit' a bit a skins then he's outta there
On the avenue, girls are passin' through
Too much of ruffneck, they ain't havin' you
Hard boppin', always grabbin' his jock and
Braggin' about his TEC is the wannabe ruffneck
That's the kind you gotta watch out for
Just to get a rep he'll pull the plug on the tour
Pissin' in corners, doing 80 by funeral mourners
Showing little respect, now that's a ruffneck! (Hey)
[Chorus]
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck
I need it and I want it so I gotta get a ruffneck!
(Gotta who? Gotta have a what? Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck (Hey)
Gotta what? Yo, gotta get a ruffneck
I need it and I want it so I gotta get a ruffneck!
(Gotta who? Gotta have a what? Hey)

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey
I need it and I want it so I gotta get a ruffneck!
Gotta who? Gotta have a what?
Hey, hey, hey
I need it and I want it so I gotta get a ruffneck!
