Lyrics

[Verse 1]

What in the world's come over me?

I ain't got a chance, of one in three

Ain't got no rap, ain't got no line

But if you'll give me just a minute, I'll be feeling fine

[Verse 2]

I am the one, who can fade the heat

The one they all say, just can't be beat

I'll shoot it to you straight, and look you in the eye

So gimme just a minute and I'll tell you why

[Verse 3]

I'm a rough boy

I'm a rough boy

[Verse 4]

I don't care how you look at me

Because I'm the one and you will see

We can make it work, we can make it by

So give me one more minute and I'll tell you why

[Verse 5]

I'm a rough boy

I'm a rough boy
