It's Tough

It's tough
I say it is, by experience 
I be good for a day, then the next day
I am sick of not getting no sleep
I would be mentally weak

It's tough
Not having money when u really need it
The car done broke down
You had money the week before
But it's gone cause u done already spent it

It's tough
When that man u thought loved u
Really don't
How do I know, I guess u thought
My lucky day, he got caught

Some of everything done happen to me
Bad luck, I guess u would say
It's tough
This I can trust
