Tough
作詞:Ford Robert Arthur, Moore James B, Simmons Russell W, Smith Lawrence
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. 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 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 home run 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 as 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
