[Verse 1: Playboy The Beast]
Yah! When the going gets tough then the tough get goin'
Man, I've lived for this moment, this flowing shit's all I know
It's like poetry how I wrote it, got a story, so I told it
It don't matter what the motive is, 'cause I'm one of the coldest
To ever hold the mic, who the fuck is Hova?
You can find me in the skies ridin' on a supernova
Until the world's collide, even when this world is over
You gon' still feel my presence constrictin' shit like a boa
The underdog that came up, Rocky Balboa
Even when I was at my lowest I overcame then kept going
Na na, better get to know me, I'm in a league of my own
And can't none of you niggas hold me, until I sit on my throne
And once I get there, I'll never be overthrown
Get the fuck up out my face, bitch, I'm in my zone
I could do this with a team or I could do it on my own
But either way I'm never stopping 'til my fuckin' name's known
[Chorus: Playboy The Beast]
So many people doubted me, but I'll never stop
I'm grinding twenty-five seven 'til I reach the top
If you ain't shittin' homie, then get up off the pot
Oh, you think you king? Naw, nigga that's my spot
[Post-Chorus: Playboy The Beast]
The tough get going when the going gets tough (Ayy!)
The tough get going when the going gets tough (Ayy!)
The tough get going when the going gets tough
Never stop now, nigga never give up (Ah!)
[Verse 2: Badluck]
It's been a long time, various different struggles
Flipped through my archive and buried beneath the puzzles
Slipped through the chalk lines with others laying in puddles
And rubble, but my shine is leading me out the tunnel
Yes, I am gifted in hip-hop, but considered a big flop
Get to the tip top, I should murder or get shot
But not now, it's too late, the hands on this clock
Will not go back down, the past remains locked
Yeah, plus I got kids and shit
And anybody willin' to give 'em up for the music is a fuckin' idiot
Livin' the dream isn't the cream and no business
Makes a man happy as soul stars and ignorance
I guess I'll never know, never learn, never be
The greatest rapper with the money, flow that I need
Remain broke with a dope flow
But I'll be the happiest motherfucker that's raisin' up a family
[Chorus: Playboy The Beast]
So many people doubted me, but I'll never stop
I'm grinding twenty-five seven 'til I reach the top
If you ain't shittin' homie, then get up off the pot
Oh, you think you king? Naw, nigga that's my spot
[Post-Chorus: Playboy The Beast]
The tough get going when the going gets tough (Ayy!)
The tough get going when the going gets tough (Ayy!)
The tough get going when the going gets tough
Never stop now, nigga never give up (Ah!)
[Verse 3: Crossworm]
That's all I do in the midlife, when I ride up silent, I'm uninvited
But I choose to be the imbued metaphysical truth, a trident
Weapon that I kept in my vest better than a blade in my chest
I said it, I meant it, I'm a menace, fuck legends and the best
And I got this fetish for the rest of this fucking lettuce
And I'm out to stick you up for your crown, better come and get us
In a way I display the careless agent of time
Flip forward so fast-forward, rewind
But the grind better be on my side of the road
Pass, your lane is a go
Showing you how to step on the pedal when you are slow
Cut it up just to crush it with the mush that up in the spoon
Medicine in the sugar that we mix is in the tunes
Real life is violent, careless of emotion and silent
You either fight the tyrannical or you are the tyrant
So look at life in the eyes, don't be a snake in the grass
Slither away when the rest of us need to jump fast
[Chorus: Playboy The Beast]
So many people doubted me, but I'll never stop
I'm grinding twenty-five seven 'til I reach the top
If you ain't shittin' homie, then get up off the pot
Oh, you think you king? Naw, nigga that's my spot
[Post-Chorus: Playboy The Beast]
The tough get going when the going gets tough (Ayy!)
The tough get going when the going gets tough (Ayy!)
The tough get going when the going gets tough
Never stop now, nigga never give up (Ah!)
