K-Rino, DLP - Tough Skin lyrics

You might not wanna do it, but ya got to
No one can keep you from it
You're the only person who can stop you
Comprehend, man, we all been on a rough end
The secret to winnin' is havin' tough skin
Tough skin, tough skin
You gotta have that tough skin, tough skin
You gotta have that tough skin, tough skin
C'mon, the secret to winnin'
Is havin' tough skin

Every year it's like your
Hope is gettin' slimmer
Looks like the light inside your
Eyes is gettin' dimmer
The dream use to seem within reach
But now it's farther
Went from every day motivated
To "why bother?"
Use to barely sleep 'cause of grinding
But now you napping
Used to be a young energetic person
What happened? I remember back when your
Spirit was way better
But time will beat you down
It got hands like Mayweather
We used to see the gift that
God was bringin' out of you
Your Daddy used to brag
Your Mama was proud of ya
You wallowin' and bathin' in the problems
You must want 'em
The plans that you made for your
Future got dust on 'em

You might not wanna do it, but ya got to
No one can keep you from it
You're the only person who can stop you
Comprehend, man, we all been on a rough end
The secret to winnin' is havin' tough skin
Tough skin, tough skin
You gotta have that tough skin, tough skin
You gotta have that tough skin, tough skin
C'mon, the secret to winnin'
Is havin' tough skin

Remember all the passion that you
Had from the start?
You got caught up in the business
And forgot about the art
The love that the hood provided
Is what made you
Forgot about the gratification that
People gave you despite who supported
Your vision is now aborted
Your overall perception of music
Is now distorted and all the great pieces of
Work you ever recorded
Got disregarded 'cause you feel
You haven't been rewarded
All because you got deceived
By this fraud biz
And became oblivious to what
The real reward is
The true prize is the minute
You learn to write and the change a song can
Make in a person's life

You might not wanna do it, but ya got to
No one can keep you from it
You're the only person who can stop you
Comprehend, man, we all been on a rough end
The secret to winnin' is havin' tough skin
Tough skin, tough skin
You gotta have that tough skin, tough skin
You gotta have that tough skin, tough skin
C'mon, the secret to winnin'
Is havin' tough skin

You get a good idea then
Fling it into the distance
When what you need to do
Is speak into existence
And I'm not sayin' that you'll
Have it in a week
But that status can be reached if
You just act on that belief
Some dreams get killed and some die
Most people usually get punked after one try
"You should just give up" are the
Words of a dumb guy
Golden opportunities are hard to come by
I won't ever judge at no time
I ain't tryna know ya business to be honest
I don't even wanna know mine
Who will be the winner? Hopefully us
Didn't they tell you
Success is supposed to tough

You might not wanna do it, but ya got to
No one can keep you from it
You're the only person who can stop you
Comprehend, man, we all been on a rough end
The secret to winnin' is havin' tough skin
Tough skin, tough skin
You gotta have that tough skin, tough skin
You gotta have that tough skin, tough skin
C'mon, the secret to winnin'
Is havin' tough skin
