Tough - Technotronic, Mc Eric

Here we go

Better be tough

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
