[00:00:00] Written by：Robert Arthur Ford Jr./James B. Moore/Russell W. Simmons/Lawrence Smith

[00:00:00] I don't want a lot I want just enough

[00:00:03] So why has it got to be so d*mn tough

[00:00:14] Livin' on the uptown side of jive

[00:00:16] Hustlin' a buck to stay alive

[00:00:19] Lookin' for a ten and they give your five

[00:00:20] Well it's tough

[00:00:23] You talk to the boss the boss is gruff

[00:00:25] You ask for a raise and they call your bluff

[00:00:27] You may get some but it's never enough

[00:00:29] Because it's tough

[00:00:32] Strong like a magnum force

[00:00:34] Rough like a new divorce

[00:00:37] Mean like a three time loser

[00:00:39] Bad like an l a cruiser

[00:00:41] Down like a limousine

[00:00:43] Blind like a submarine

[00:00:45] Hard like cold concrete

[00:00:48] Tough that's the rhythm of the beat

[00:01:08] You hit the street and you look for work

[00:01:10] You don't want to be some welfare jerk

[00:01:12] But I wonder how you get to be captain kirk

[00:01:15] It's tough

[00:01:17] Now kirk has a ship called the enterprise

[00:01:19] He cuts the aliens down to size

[00:01:21] But I wonder

[00:01:22] What he'd do with the uptown guys

[00:01:24] They're tough

[00:01:26] Tough

[00:01:27] Try to get some cash

[00:01:28] When you're looking for

[00:01:29] A raise and they give you

[00:01:30] Trash

[00:01:30] Rough

[00:01:31] When you got it like that

[00:01:33] And your woman's running

[00:01:33] 'Round with a baseball bat

[00:01:35] Hard

[00:01:36] Try to play it cool

[00:01:37] When the girl's all know

[00:01:38] You're an out of work fool

[00:01:39] Tough

[00:01:40] How it seems to be wish

[00:01:42] I had somebody lookin'

[00:01:43] Out for me

[00:02:38] Try to find a lover if you dare

[00:02:40] Even if you do she just won't care

[00:02:42] Well no one ever said that that life is fair

[00:02:44] Because it's tough

[00:02:47] Saw a fine young lady the other day

[00:02:49] I started my rap I had a lot to say

[00:02:51] But she said she was goin' with a

[00:02:53] C P A

[00:02:53] Now it's tough

[00:02:56] Strong like a superhero

[00:02:58] Rough like a bank book zero

[00:03:01] Mean like the oakland raiders

[00:03:03] Bad like the caped crusaders

[00:03:05] Down like a homerun ball

[00:03:07] Blind like an umpire's call

[00:03:09] Hard like a cruel deceit

[00:03:12] Tough that's the rhythm of the beat

[00:03:32] You worked all year to buy a brand new car

[00:03:34] A coupe de ville or a jaguar

[00:03:36] But you didn't make enough for a good cigar

[00:03:38] Because it's tough

[00:03:41] So you went to the bank to try to get

[00:03:43] A loan

[00:03:43] But the guy behind the desk had a heart os

[00:03:45] Stone

[00:03:45] He said you don't need

[00:03:46] A car use the telephone

[00:03:47] It's tough

[00:03:50] Tough

[00:03:51] It's a way of life lost your job

[00:03:53] Your money but not your wife

[00:03:54] Rough

[00:03:55] Gettin' in the black uncle

[00:03:57] Sam's in your pocket

[00:03:57] And your woman's on your back

[00:03:59] Hard

[00:04:00] That's the deal had to get a loan just to

[00:04:02] Buy a meal

[00:04:04] Tough

[00:04:04] That's how it goes

[00:04:06] When it's gettin' better nobody knows

[00:04:26] Strong like chocolate thunder

[00:04:28] Rough like stevie wonder

[00:04:30] Mean like brucie the shark

[00:04:33] Bad like the raider's ark

[00:04:35] Down like sugar's glove

[00:04:37] Blind like a man in love

[00:04:39] Hard like a big defeat

[00:04:42] Tough that's the rhythm of the beat

[00:05:56] Tough that's the word unemployment

[00:05:59] Is all I heard

[00:06:01] Rough when you start your day

[00:06:03] Watch the finance man tow

[00:06:03] Your car away

[00:06:05] Hard to hold a job

[00:06:07] When you've been replaced by a

[00:06:08] Little blue knob

[00:06:10] Tough like a dollar steak

[00:06:12] Ain't someone ever gonna give me

[00:06:13] A break
