Here we go 
Better be tough… x4 
I have a special little sauce, 
So I was at a party 
Something that 
I never hide, 
Is the way that 
I ride A bass line, or a stare 
Or a bass drum, suckas, 
Comes naturally ‘
Cus I have originality 
E is never scared 
Now, you knoe 
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 realistic, real 
And this is just the way 
I feel The deal is to respect the other man’s views 
But the other man’s views are just 
A hand with a bullet through it? 
Nothing, whenever they talk they just bluffing 
Unless, of course, they discussing effect 
I’m on vinyl amp it ‘til it’s final, 
I drop the science 
Cus I ain’t gonna let it drop 
Why Why does it got to be 
So damn tough 
Better be tough… x4 
I used to rhyme in a time 
When I was carefree 
With a carefree attitude 
I knew I didn’t have to prove anything 
Didn’t have a party, or any diamond ring ‘
Cus I didn’t have the cash 
And I don’t commit sins 
To obtain the material 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’s busted 
Couple brothers were also microphone lovers 
In the days a lot of your mothers 
Would stay out late with a lot of others 
In my hometown, you 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 ho’ 
I’ve been snapped up, by a record company, jettisoned 
Slapped, even your girlfriend, she cracked up 
Lapped up, hearing your ridiculous statements 
Me and Technotronic, terror basement 
Peace Better be tough… x4
