Colton Brown - Tough Enough (ft. Avant Brown)
[Intro: Colton Brown]
Yea, go ahead and sing it for 'em one time Daddy, come on...
[Chorus: Avant Brown]
You know it seems like lately
The whole world's gone crazy
And it seems to me, that the devil means
To do his best to break me
Man, sometimes I wonder why
Life can get so rough
But, everybody says what don't kill me makes me tough
But I wonder when, Oh when will I
Be tough enough...
Yea, be tough enough, yea, yea
[Verse 1: Colton Brown]
Uh, Yea
Man I remember coming up, I thought I had it rough
My daddy never let me half-ass nothin', cause it was never enough
He said there ain't no point in doing it, if you ain't gone do it right
Cause bein a lazy good-for-nothin'll never getcha through this life
You gotta, work hard, break your back to get ahead
There ain't no lollygaggin when your bringing home the bread
You might not understand it now, but you will when you get older
The years fly by and the world it gets colder
But I was hard-headed, and I never really listened
That's probably why I wore my share of ass-whippins
But lookin' back, I do appreciate the lessons he was teachin'
And I gotta give him credit, he's the primary reason that I'm still breathin
And I ain't locked in a cage, he put the fear of God in me at an early age
Taught me, right from wrong, and how to be tough
He said, Life'll knock me down, I gotta get back up...
[Chorus: Avant Brown]
You know it seems like lately
The whole world's gone crazy
And it seems to me, that the devil means
To do his best to break me
Man, sometimes I wonder why
Life can get so rough
But, everybody says what don't kill me makes me tough
But I wonder when, Oh when will I
Be tough enough...
Yea, be tough enough, oh oh
[Verse 2: Colton Brown]
Check it
Sometimes I look around and wonder how I ever made it
I swear it must have been a miracle I graduated
It seems like yesterday when we were playing football
After-school sandlot
Or jumpin' off Harney Pond bridge when it was damn hot
But life goes on, and memories fade
Especially when you're smoking Mary-Jane everyday
I guess your innocence diminishes as years go by
It's easy to become a cynic all the tears you cry
Cause man I'll, never forget the way I felt the day that Matt died
Or the day I seen my cousin hit that crack pipe
Sucker punch, yea life, you really rocked me
Plus I got so many friends addicted to them roxies
I thank God that I never had the moxy
To stick a needle in my arm and fill it with an oxy
I'll never understand, the rhyme or reason
But I guess everybody fightin' demons...
[Chorus: Avant Brown]
You know it seems like lately
The whole world's gone crazy
And it seems to me, that the devil means
To do his best to break me
Man, sometimes I wonder why
Life can get so rough
But, everybody says what don't kill me makes me tough
But I wonder when, Oh when will I
Be tough enough...
Oh, be tough enough, yea, yea
[Verse 3: Colton Brown]
Uh, yea, yea
Lord knows I've had my, ups and downs
Feel like I've been through hell and back
When will it end?
There really ain't no tellin' that
But I'ma do my best to keep my chin up, chest out
And keep it goin' even though I'm feelin' stressed out
My bills overdue and I got babies to feed
But I'ma do what's necessary, get whatever they need
I'm on my knees, everyday it's like I'm jugglin'
Responsibilities, I'm tired of feelin' like I'm strugglin'
But I just suck it up and keep it movin' (keep it movin')
I refuse to give in, I'm never losin' (I'm never losin')
I just, roll with the punches, take it in stride
And man I never complain and I never ask why
But I'm so tired of feelin' like I'm Atlas man
I got the world on my shoulders and it's taxin' man
Feel like I'm just a couple steps away from saying I'm through
Man I could really use a prayer or two...
[Chorus: Avant Brown]
You know it seems like lately
The whole world's gone crazy
And it seems to me, that the devil means
To do his best to break me
Man, sometimes I wonder why
Life can get so rough
But, everybody says what don't kill me makes me tough
But I wonder when, Oh when will I
Yes I wonder will I ever
Lord I wonder, when will I?
Be tough enough...
Oh, be tough enough, yea, yea
[Colton Brown]
Sometimes I feel like I'll never be tough enough...
