Tough Lyrics by DBMK

2021

[Verse 1]
I know you tried to reach me
I’ll get right back to you
If I’ve got time in my schedule, (ooh)
I just can’t stand my day job
It sucks the life out of me
How weak could I be?

[Pre-Chorus]
Take two scoops of my brain and leave me bloody
At least it’s out of my mind
I keep spinnin’ my wheels, I keep on tryin’
You’ll never take me alive

[Chorus]
I don’t feel so tough
Holding me tight in a headlock, so messed up
I don’t care that much
Holding me down, throwing me out
I don’t feel so tough
Holding me tight in a headlock, so messed up
I don’t care that much
Holding me down, throwing me out, so messed up
Holding me down, throwing me out, so messеd up
Holding me down, holding me down, so messеd-

[Verse 2]
Working for a couple hundred dollars in rent
I know I’m worth a million more I’ll never know how to spend
But I try to, but I try to
(Ugh)
I don’t wanna feel like I’m just stuck in cement
I keep on reaching and reaching for something they’ll never give And now the line is out the door and I’m the one behind the counter
And I never wanna take another order again

[Pre-Chorus]
Take two scoops of my brain and leave me bloody
At least it’s out of my mind
I keep spinnin’ my wheels, I keep on tryin’
You’ll never take me alive

[Chorus]
I don’t feel so tough
Holding me tight in a headlock, so messed up
I don’t care that much
Holding me down, throwing me out
I don’t feel so tough
Holding me tight in a headlock, so messed up
I don’t care that much
Holding me down, throwing me out, so messed up

[Bridge]
Sometimes I know
How you’re fading slow
Into the pavement
You know that I’ll be singing

[Chorus]
I don’t feel so tough
Holding me tight in a headlock, so messed up
I don’t care that much
Holding me down, throwing me out
I don’t feel so tough
Holding me tight in a headlock, so messed up
I don’t care that much
Holding me down, throwing me out, so messed up
