Intro: I don't want a lot I want just enough So why has it got to be so damn TOUGH
Livin' on the uptown side of jive Hustlin' a buck to stay alive Lookin' for a ten and they give your five Well it's tough You talk to the boss the boss is gruff You ask for a raise and they call your bluff You may get some but it's never enough Because it's tough
STRONG:Like a magnum force ROUGH:Like a new divorce MEAN:Like a three-time loser BAD:Like an L.A. cruiser DOWN:Like a limousine BLIND:Like a submarine HARD:Like cold concrete TOUGH:That's the rhythm of the beat
You hit the street and you look for work You don't want to be some welfare jerk But I wonder how you get to be Captain Kirk It's tough Now Kirk has a ship called the Enterprise He cuts the aliens down to size But I wonder what he'd do with the uptown guys They're tough
TOUGH: Try to get some cash When you're looking for a raise and they give you trash
ROUGH: When you got it like that And your woman's running 'round with a baseball bat
HARD: Try to play it cool when the girl's all know you're an out of work fool
TOUGH: How it seems to be,wish I had somebody lookin' out for me
Try to find a lover if you dare Even if you do she just won't care Well no one ever said that that life is fair Because it's tough Saw a fine young lady the other day I started my rap,I had a lot to say But she said she was goin' with a C.P.A. Now it's tough
STRONG:Like a superhero ROUGH:Like a bank book zero MEAN:Like the Oakland Raiders BAD:Like the Caped Crusaders DOWN:Like a homerun ball BLIND:Like an umpire's call HARD:Like a cruel deceit TOUGH:That's the rhythm of the beat
You worked all year to buy a brand new car A Coupe de Ville or a Jaguar But you didn't make enough for a good cigar Because it's tough So you went to the bank to try to get a loan But the guy behind the desk had a heart os stone He said "You don't need a car,use the telephone!" It's tough
TOUGH: It's a way of life,lost your job Your money,but not your wife
ROUGH: Gettin' in the black,Uncle Sam's in your pocket And your woman's on your back
HARD: That's the deal,had to get a loan just to buy a meal
TOUGH: That's how it goes,when it's gettin' better,nobody knows
STRONG:Like Chocolate Thunder ROUGH:Like Stevie Wonder MEAN:Like Brucie The Shark BAD:Like the Raider's Ark DOWN:Like Sugar's Glove BLIND:Like a man in love HARD:Like a big defeat TOUGH:That's the rhythm of the beat
TOUGH:That's the word,unemployment is all I heard ROUGH:When you start your day,watch the finance man tow your car away HARD:To hold a job when you've been replaced by a little blue knob TOUGH:Like a dollar steak,ain't someone ever gonna give me a break
