While Building Up Through A Supposed Tough Date
Red eyes might grow... What pure mind don't show. White eyes might cook, What dirty mind can't hook. Clean hands could build of fold... What plan A can barely withhold, Filthy hands might weigh of cheers, What plan B does rarely adheres. Crazy heart might run bloody metre... While calm vein don't shy as repeater. Lovely heart could walk lonely garden, While lousy vein can't...

Born by the Hoods, Class, and the Tough, Cold Streets
Bound by the Streets, where the poor Class prevails, With Cold, hardened hearts, some are born by jail With slicked-back hair and a comb in our hands, We Greasers survive in a rough, Tough land Through thick and thin, Hoods are roots in the ground, A bond like steel, unshaken and unbound No matter the odds, we won’t face defeat Born by...

With Mother and Father and sister, Ava, Violet enjoyed life on Sage farm; Just as lilac breezes, from out of the south, only rove to keep you warm. Theirs was a land that...

Tough talk
How important are family and friends, Times of real trouble the outcome depends, Depends on the numbers the more we recruit, Together we help to resolve a dispute, Our heads put together to plan our way out, Intimidate the enemy where in with a shout, We can beat every problem fight to the end, Our strength is in numbers...

TOUGH TIMES
When things start getting tough Everything start getting rough Many will say, you're lazy Some will say, you ain't working hard Like it's by power or myth Only few will understand, due to their awareness. When the night starts coming The sun start going Time always make the difference. When everything starts crumbling You start stumbling and fading Everything becomes very crazy...
