[Intro]
Uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh, a-here we go now
Uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh, a-here we go
A rough love, a rough love
She want that rough love, tough love
She need that tough love, rough love, uh-huh
A rough love, uh-huh, check it out, uh

[Verse 1]
She had an ass like Rosa Acosta
She had a rack like Angelina Croft
She smelled like strawberries and clothes when i crossed her
Offered me an offer, I countered with an offer
We kissed, I went in for the kill, she said get off her
Okay, that gon' cost her
She’s a character in the narrative, I'm the author
She think she know me well, okay
I must admit she had a rosy tale
Of how she flew to Hollywood cause she so Chanel
Just had a spot of bad luck at the Sofa Tail
My time in Beverly Hills hipped me to these strokers well
I never bought it, my dreamcatcher caught it
It smelled like (?)
(?)
Well there's a sofa, hell
She took her panties off, (?) don't even bother
Cause I'm checking out tomorrow
She came running around the corner
Screaming, Oh baby, take me with you
I'll give you all my time
You make me feel so special
You're always on my mind
Come home and blow my back out
I need you all the time
Your love feels like the trap house

Timothy Elpadaro Thedford (born September 19, 1976), better known by his stage name Jay Electronica, is an American rapper and record producer. He is from New Orleans, Louisiana and currently based in London, United Kingdom.

Electronica first gained significant attention after the release of the musical composition Act Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge), which was made available on a MySpace page in 2007 and has been called a “timeless classic” by Vice Magazine. It is fifteen continuous minutes of music, without drums, built from Jon Brion’s soundtrack to the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. In late 2009 he released two singles, both produced by Just Blaze, “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit C”, the latter of which won a Sucker Free Summit Award for Instant Classic. In November 2010, it was announced Jay Electronica had signed to hip hop mogul Jay Z’s Roc Nation record label.

More than a decade after his last project, What the Fuck is a Jay Electronica, and almost exactly eight years to the DAY after he reportedly finished and turned in his album, Jay Electronica finally released his debut studio album A Written Testimony on March 13, 2020. The album features Jay-Z on eight of its ten tracks, leading some to label it a collab album between the two Jays. The-Dream also makes three appearances, and even Travis Scott makes a surprising appearance on “The Blinding.”
