Technotronic - Tough Lyrics

[Intro]
Here we go
Better be tough

[Verse]
I have a special little start
So I'm words within pride
And something that I never hide
Is the way that I ride
A bass line or a snare or a bass drum, suckers come
Naturally 'cause I have originality
E is never scared now you know I'm prepared
Is it the same story? You got something for me?
Nah, I've got something for you: it's positivity
Negative I never give or maybe you're dissing me
On account of the fact that me;
I'm who you're listening, real
And this the just the way I feel
The deal is to respect the other man's view
But the other man's view is just to hang with the crew and do nothing
Whenever they talk they just bluffing
Unless, of course, they're discussing a theft
I'm all fine, my answer to this is final
I drop the signs 'til there ain't none left to drop

To bad
It's got to be so damn tough
Better be tough

I used to rhyme in a time when I was carefree
And with a carefree attitude I knew I didn't have to prove anything
Didn't have to pawn any diamond ring
Because I didn't have the cash and I don't commit sins
To obtain immaterial benefits yo
The harder my work, the more I had to pay so
Became a man as a youngster spreading out positive vibes
To little punks that busted
Couple of brothers were also microphone lovers
In the days you could lie to your mothers
To stay out late to lie to others
In my home town we were the best fit
That's why when I'm on top, you're arrested now
You think you're good to go
But you can't go because I'm rocking the hole
I've been snapped up, by the record company, you jealous?
Been slapped up, even your girl she cracked up
With laughter. Hearing your ridiculous statements
Me and Technotronic, in terror basements
Peace

Better be tough
