Текст песни Get Tough (CD III) с переводом

Yo, yo man

Yo homeboys, what’s goin' on man?

Yeah man, out of sight, coolin' out on the corner ya know

With the fellas and my father walked by ya know

And he looked at me and he said:

«Yo son, you can’t be doing this everyday

You got to get outside and get a nine to five, get a job

Or else you’re gonna have to move out, man»

Exact man, shit, that’s what my pops said man

Right here too man

I’ve been thinkin' man, I’ve been thinkin'

Don’t be at the bottom or in the middle

Life ain’t nothin' but a funny, funny riddle

Pay your taxes, people gettin' fired

Depending on welfare, the rich gettin' hired

President Reagan, prices going up

Crime, murder, rape is just too much

(And it’s chaos)

You gotta pay your Red Cross

(And it’s chaos)

People gettin' divorced!

We know the world is rough so get tough

We know the world is rough so get tough

We know the world is rough so get tough

We know the world is rough so get tough

Get tough

So get tough, get tough

So get tough, get tough

Get tough, get tough

(Asala, as-salamu alaykum)

We gotta do something quick, we gotta do something fast

The way it’s going now this world won’t last

We got atomic bombs and nuclear plants

We got to get back to nature or this world won’t last

We gotta sit, we gotta talk, we gotta compromise

We got to get together, make the world realize

That the end of the world is coming

And you work to do the best you can everyday

Crime, inflation’s gotta stop

But party people this is what we found

In this world day after day

We’ve got to find a better way

I used to be a kid that liked to steal

My mother said «Son take this for real

Life is funny, life plays tricks

You better listen up or catch the wrong lick»

I took her advice and I hit the door

I seen a sight I never seen before

Crime, inflation, and poverty

And that’s when it took affect on me

A man’s on the corner selling drugs

Another’s with a victim that he can mug

One’s got a gun in his hand

Soon he’ll end up in the can

This is not how it’s supposed to be

In this life, world, or society

You gotta get out, get a nine to five

Is this the only way to survive?

'Cause we know the world is rough so get tough

We know the world is rough so get tough

We know the world is rough so get tough

We know the world is rough so get tough

Get tough

So get tough, get tough

Yeah man what you gonna do now man?

I don’t know man

I’m going back to the Roxy man

Ah man, the Roxy?

Yeah, been a little bit, been a little while man

Ah yeah baby, you gotta get yourself back to New York

'Cause we know the world is rough

We know the world is rough

We know the world is rough

We know the world is rough

We know the world is rough so get tough

We know the world is rough so get tough

We know the world is rough so get tough

We know the world is rough so get tough

Get tough

Now, every day, just what my mother always seemed to say

She said «Listen son, to make it in the world

You got to feel good about all the young girls

Turn your life, it’s kind of a key

If you wanna live in society

Now listen to me son, don’t do nothing wrong

'Cause what I’m gonna tell you is very strong

You see every day there’s a different way

For you to go about worryin' now hear what I say

Now you think this is special, you think it’s unique

But now listen to the words of the masterpiece»

Now brother my man you got to get a nine to five

If you want to get out there and claim to survive

See things ain’t funny, things ain’t right

Say, one day you may become a thief in the night

And you’ll be walkin' down the streets on one brave day

Thinkin' everything it sounds so gray

But when you turn back you been misled

All the words that confused your head

Your mother told you one day here comes a friend

But he doesn’t carry you to the end

And now people you know, you got a gun in your hand

You walk around the world like you’re a real big man

Thinkin' of crime, you’re doing up time

Some people say brother you were dumb and blind

And to this world, it’s called a fact

And at this rate brother you’ll never come back

Now understand that I’m mighty cool

When I get down I’ll never be a fool

And one day I’ll get over and I’ll be bright

And I’ll be ready to rock the house all night

Now every time you hear me comin' live

You say hip-hop rock, it ain’t no jive

As the world goes around day after day

You try to find a better way

Don’t do nothin' wild or crazy stuff

'Cause we know the world is rough so get tough

We know the world is rough so get tough

We know the world is rough so get tough

We know the world is rough so get tough

Get tough

Tough, tough

Get tough

Get tough

Get tough-tough-tough

Get tough-tough-tough-tough

Get-get-get, get tough

Get tough

Come on, everybody in the place just clap your hands and sing along

As we rock that rhythm and the hip-hop song

You say a eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

The only man rappin' that’ll tell you the truth

And like ice cream better hanging on the cone

I just keep steady rockin' that microphone

They never leave me alone because I’m so great

I’ll be rockin' to the rhythm while you’re layin' in your grave

Layin' in your grave you got to turn up a flick

But don’tcha know young lady, here’s a real funky trick

Hey! Take your hand and grab a-hold

Come on young lady, 'cause the sound is bold

And when I get finished here singing this song

You know the world is rough, you got to sing along

And if you don’t got places and ain’t got time

You’re not really worth to call a mastermind

And if you appreciate the funky sound

Now come on everybody it’s time to get down

The world’s gettin' rough, and nothing’s too easy

And people walk around looking dumb and sleazy

The way they walk around like they shootin' stuff

Don’t you know baby girl, the world is rough

Come on man, where you at man, yo

You thinkin' of breaking out man?

Right 'bout now yo, I’m breaking out man

Let’s forget that trade man and let’s book it man

Oh, you breaking out?

Yeah I’m breaking out man

Man, come on man

Come on man, what about now

These girls think it’s cool nowadays to get them rocks

Gotta set up them females right?

That’s the word, man, you know it’s tough man

Yeah man, what’s up man

You gotta know, man

You better know what you saying

It’s tough, life can be tough

Can’t kill a southern man, what’s up, what’s up

I just heard my best friend just died last night, you know

Kim know the world is tough

Grace know the world is tough

Denise know the world is tough

Isiah know the world is tough

Collins know the world is tough

Dash know the world is tough

Rob know the world is tough

HT know the world is tough

So get tough
