lirik lagu cd iii - get tough
[intro: skit]
(this is not a test, this is the real thing)
yo, yo man
yo homeboys, what’s goin’ on man?
yeah man, out of sight, coolin’ out on the corner ya know
with the fellas and my father walked by ya know
and he looked at me and he said:
“yo son, you can’t be doing this everyday
you got to get outside and get a nine to five, get a job
or else you’re gonna have to move out, man”
exact man, sh-t, that’s what my pops said man
right here too man
i’ve been thinkin’ man, i’ve been thinkin’
[verse 1]
don’t be at the bottom or in the middle
life ain’t nothin’ but a funny, funny riddle
pay your taxes, people gettin’ fired
depending on welfare, the rich gettin’ hired
president reagan, prices going up
crime, murder, rape is just too much
(and it’s chaos)
you gotta pay your red cross
(and it’s chaos)
people gettin’ divorced!
[chorus]
we know the world is rough so get tough
we know the world is rough so get tough
we know the world is rough so get tough
we know the world is rough so get tough
get tough
[post-chorus]
so get tough, get tough
so get tough, get tough
get tough, get tough
(asala, as-salamu alayk-m)
[verse 2]
we gotta do something quick, we gotta do something fast
the way it’s going now this world won’t last
we got atomic bombs and nuclear plants
we got to get back to nature or this world won’t last
we gotta sit, we gotta talk, we gotta compromise
we got to get together, make the world realize
that the end of the world is coming
and you work to do the best you can everyday
[verse 3]
crime, inflation’s gotta stop
but party people this is what we found
in this world day after day
we’ve got to find a better way
i used to be a kid that liked to steal
my mother said “son take this for real
life is funny, life plays tricks
you better listen up or catch the wrong l!ck”
i took her advice and i hit the door
i seen a sight i never seen before
crime, inflation, and poverty
and that’s when it took affect on me
a man’s on the corner selling drugs
another’s with a victim that he can mug
one’s got a gun in his hand
soon he’ll end up in the can
this is not how it’s supposed to be
in this life, world, or society
you gotta get out, get a nine to five
is this the only way to survive?
[chorus]
’cause we know the world is rough so get tough
we know the world is rough so get tough
we know the world is rough so get tough
we know the world is rough so get tough
get tough
[post-chorus]
so get tough, get tough
[interlude: skit]
yeah man what you gonna do now man?
i don’t know man
i’m going back to the roxy man
ah man, the roxy?
yeah, been a little bit, been a little while man
ah yeah baby, you gotta get yourself back to new york
[bridge]
’cause we know the world is rough
we know the world is rough
we know the world is rough
we know the world is rough
we know the world is rough so get tough
we know the world is rough so get tough
we know the world is rough so get tough
we know the world is rough so get tough
get tough
[verse 4]
now, every day, just what my mother always seemed to say
she said “listen son, to make it in the world
you got to feel good about all the young girls
turn your life, it’s kind of a key
if you wanna live in society
now listen to me son, don’t do nothing wrong
’cause what i’m gonna tell you is very strong
you see every day there’s a different way
for you to go about worryin’ now hear what i say
now you think this is special, you think it’s unique
but now listen to the words of the masterpiece”
now brother my man you got to get a nine to five
if you want to get out there and claim to survive
see things ain’t funny, things ain’t right
say, one day you may become a thief in the night
and you’ll be walkin’ down the streets on one brave day
thinkin’ everything it sounds so gray
but when you turn back you been misled
all the words that confused your head
your mother told you one day here comes a friend
but he doesn’t carry you to the end
and now people you know, you got a gun in your hand
you walk around the world like you’re a real big man
thinkin’ of crime, you’re doing up time
some people say brother you were dumb and blind
and to this world, it’s called a fact
and at this rate brother you’ll never come back
now understand that i’m mighty cool
when i get down i’ll never be a fool
and one day i’ll get over and i’ll be bright
and i’ll be ready to rock the house all night
now every time you hear me comin’ live
you say hip-hop rock, it ain’t no jive
as the world goes around day after day
you try to find a better way
don’t do nothin’ wild or crazy stuff
[chorus]
’cause we know the world is rough so get tough
we know the world is rough so get tough
we know the world is rough so get tough
we know the world is rough so get tough
get tough
[post-chorus]
tough, tough
get tough
get tough
get tough-tough-tough
get tough-tough-tough-tough
get-get-get, get tough
get tough
[verse 5]
come on, everybody in the place just clap your hands and sing along
as we rock that rhythm and the hip-hop song
you say a eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
the only man rappin’ that’ll tell you the truth
and like ice cream better hanging on the cone
i just keep steady rockin’ that microphone
they never leave me alone because i’m so great
i’ll be rockin’ to the rhythm while you’re layin’ in your grave
layin’ in your grave you got to turn up a fl!ck
but don’tcha know young lady, here’s a real funky trick
hey! take your hand and grab a-hold
come on young lady, ’cause the sound is bold
and when i get finished here singing this song
you know the world is rough, you got to sing along
and if you don’t got places and ain’t got time
you’re not really worth to call a mastermind
and if you appreciate the funky sound
now come on everybody it’s time to get down
the world’s gettin’ rough, and nothing’s too easy
and people walk around looking dumb and sleazy
the way they walk around like they shootin’ stuff
don’t you know baby girl, the world is rough
[interlude: skit]
come on man, where you at man, yo
you thinkin’ of breaking out man?
right ’bout now yo, i’m breaking out man
let’s forget that trade man and let’s book it man
oh, you breaking out?
yeah i’m breaking out man
man, come on man
come on man, what about now
these girls think it’s cool nowadays to get them rocks
gotta set up them females right?
that’s the word, man, you know it’s tough man
yeah man, what’s up man
you gotta know, man
you better know what you saying
it’s tough, life can be tough
can’t k!ll a southern man, what’s up, what’s up
i just heard my best friend just died last night, you know
[outro]
