Lyrics

Intro (Ruff Draft)

[J Dilla]

Before we get this started let me explain it:

It's the "Ruff Draft" EP

For my real niggas only

DJ's that play that real live shit

You wanna bounce in ya whip with that real live shit

Sound like it's straight from the motherfuckin' cassette

Ruff Draft, let's do it
