Ou suis je ?

[Intro:]

I don't want a lot,I want just enough

So why has it got to be so damn Tough

Livin' on the uptown side of jive

Hustlin' a buck to stay alive

Lookin' for a ten and they give your five

Well it's Tough

You talk to the boss,the boss is gruff

You ask for a raise and they call your bluff

You may get some,but it's never enough

Because it's Tough

[STRONG:] Like a magnum force

[ROUGH:] Like a new divorce

[MEAN:] Like a three-time loser

[BAD:] Like an L.A. cruiser

[DOWN:] Like a limousine

[BLIND:] Like a submarine

[HARD:] Like cold concrete

[Tough:] That's the rhythm of the beat

You hit the street and you look for work

You don't want to be some welfare jerk

But I wonder how you get to be Captain Kirk

It's Tough

Now Kirk has a ship called the Enterprise

He cuts the aliens down to size

But I wonder what he'd do with the uptown guys

They're Tough

[Tough:]

Try to get some cash

When you're looking for a raise and they give you trash

[ROUGH:]

When you got it like that

And your woman's running 'round with a baseball bat

[HARD:]

Try to play it cool when the girl's all know you're an out of work fool

[Tough:]

How it seems to be,wish I had somebody lookin' out for me

Try to find a lover if you dare

Even if you do she just won't care

Well no one ever said that that life is fair

Because it's Tough

Saw a fine young lady the other day

I started my rap,I had a lot to say

But she said she was goin' with a C.P.A.

Now it's Tough

[STRONG:] Like a superhero

[ROUGH:] Like a bank book zero

[MEAN:] Like the Oakland Raiders

[BAD:] Like the Caped Crusaders

[DOWN:] Like a homerun ball

[BLIND:] Like an umpire's call

[HARD:] Like a cruel deceit

[Tough:] That's the rhythm of the beat

You worked all year to buy a brand new car

A Coupe de Ville or a Jaguar

But you didn't make enough for a good cigar

Because it's Tough

So you went to the bank to try to get a loan

But the guy behind the desk had a heart os stone

He said "You don't need a car,use the telephone!"

It's Tough

[Tough:]

It's a way of life,lost your job

Your money,but not your wife

[ROUGH:]

Gettin' in the black,Uncle Sam's in your pocket

And your woman's on your back

[HARD:]

That's the deal,had to get a loan just to buy a meal

[Tough:]

That's how it goes,when it's gettin' better,nobody knows

+ de paroles

[STRONG:] Like Chocolate Thunder

[ROUGH:] Like Stevie Wonder

[MEAN:] Like Brucie The Shark

[BAD:] Like the Raider's Ark

[DOWN:] Like Sugar's Glove

[BLIND:] Like a man in love

[HARD:] Like a big defeat

Tough:That's the rhythm of the beat

[Tough:] That's the word,unemployment is all I heard

[ROUGH:] When you start your day,watch the finance man tow your car away

[HARD:] To hold a job when you've been replaced by a little blue knob

[Tough:] Like a dollar steak,ain't someone ever gonna give me a break
