Tuff - Intellectual

So glad He cleaned me up

Because I came up out the mud

When He dusted me off

He found a diamond in the rough

Just when I thought I had enough

He told me keep on going

Because it's gone make you

Tough

He told me keep on going

Because it's gone make you

Tough

He told me keep on going

Because it's gone make you tough

He told me keep going

Boy you got some more in

Cause I ain't done pouring

Only way you reap, if you sowing

Had to crush up the olive

To get the anointing

If snakes in the grass

Get the mowing

I been killing, but people ain't listening

I told them to keep the same energy

When I make it to the top of this industry

It's making me tough

I been through too much

Thank God that I made it out

I ain't folding, like a cuff

In God, put my trust

They thought I'd be breaking down

Just like Fabo, man I could've snapped

I know He's able

And that ain't no cap

I'm in the stu, but I call it the trap

The devil done took a few things

But I'm taking it back

God gave me this gifts like He Santa

I came out the heat like a sauna

I'm sing praises like Hosanna

See I gotta give Him the honor

It don't matter what it looks like

He always comes through

Man He's on time

See I could just take a look

Back at my life

And I can testify

If you don't mind, I...

Came up from the muck

And the mire, oh yeah

When I tell my story

They're inspired, oh yeah

I was tired of being

Sick and tired, oh yeah

Came out looking gold

From the fire, oh yeah-yeah

So glad He cleaned me up

Because I came up out the mud

When He dusted me off

He found a diamond in the rough

Just when I thought I had enough

He told me keep on going

Because it's gone make you

Tough

He told me keep on going

Because it's gone make you

Tough

He told me keep on going

Because it's gone make you tough

Can’t stop

Issa wave

Tell the devil not today

I ain’t hearing what he say

I’m Kobe with the Fade Away

Old me

New ways

I try not to misbehave

Why they wanna test the change

I ain’t got the time to play

Look at my wrist

No homo

The Boot made me like gumbo

But I’m in DC like Mumbo

Crept in straight thru the front door

The Devil tried to hit me with a combo

In shape but I can’t run tho

OG keep it too trill like FonZo

More speed getting to the king like Pronto

I do what I need

To catch up to speed

He making me tuff

Don’t care if I bleed

If u wanna sleep

I’m Catching the Zs

I come from the swamps

Got mud on my jeans

And now that I’m clean

Wipe me down

He thought he had me

I psyched em out

Throwing em curves

I striked em out

If I’m in a bond

I’m fighting out

He told me keep on goin

Because It’s gone make me tough

All that pressure gone make me a beast

And I beast and I been growing tusks

Take my loses and compare em to my blessings

That’s a plus

If being hidden in His will is it for me

Then that's enough

So glad He cleaned me up

Because I came up out the mud

When He dusted me off

He found a diamond in the rough

Just when I thought I had enough

He told me keep on going

Because it's gone make you

Tough

He told me keep on going

Because it's gone make you

Tough

He told me keep on going

Because it's gone make you tough

Tough

Gritty

How many times you done fell

Plenty

They love to hate I'm like

Oh well, envy

Booker T when I'm in the booth

You dig it

I'm never ever getting caught slipping

You tripping

Dripping in the blood

Like I rock Davinci

I don't even talk

Sit back and I listen

God give me game

Ain't nothing I'm missing

I'm watching for the snakes

Now days they ain't hissing

What who you calling your brother

Who you kissing

Been getting a little buzz

Now they talk to me different

Back on soccer team

God and I kicking

Been balling for the Lord

I'm watching my pivot

Peeping in the window

Tryna see how I'm living

MainMain and Mike Teezy

In the studio killing

Boy we get it popping

Like grease up in the skillet

I put these verses in a skillet

I come from the block

My people feel this

Preaching to the ones

Who don't go to church

In my pain I found out

That my praying works

I put these verses in a skillet

I come from the block

My people feel this

Preaching to the ones

Who don't go to church

In my pain I found out
