They're so tough
|
|
They like to make us feel little
|
They like to make us feel small
|
And keep us down
|
'Til we feel no good at all
|
|
Then they tell us that we're stupid
|
That we got no sense at all
|
They'll ke away the spark
|
Keep us in the dark
|
Make us feel we have no vision at all
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
No, no, no, I don't believe it has to be this way
|
No, I don't believe it has to be this way
|
|
Then they tell us to be patient
|
That our time will come
|
But I've stood outside their doors
|
And walked their floors
|
And I ain't gonna do it again
|
|
They'd like to make me their nigger
|
I say to hell with them
|
I'm not gettin' down on my knees
|
And beggin' please
|
Can you throw me a crumb now and then
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I can't really speak to you
|
And I don't know about them
|
They must be out of their minds
|
Can't read between the lines
|
They can stick it where the sun don't shine
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
They're so tough
|
|
They are so tough
|
