Lyrics Tough Lovin' (quick Mix) - Arealius

Tough Lovin' nigga

I got some old friends that used to be cool
Besides my fam and my girl all I had was school
Yeah I got some old people that used to be homies
They used to be cool but now they act like they don't know me
So called friends claim they real until you fall out
You can call me money making mitch because I ball out
And I guess that's part of the problem cuz my grind don't stop
The reason these niggas wish that I was shot
But see I'm not like these other niggas acting and fronting
I'm what's known as a real nigga and my people love it
You see I'm steady rising up while the fronters be running
People changed on me something I call tough lovin'
Yea its true people they have they ups and downs
Rather it be your friends or problems wit ya spouse
Witnessed it so much I grew accustomed to it
True it ain't foreign but that don't mean that I wanna go through it

I don't need no tough lovin' and I'm not bluffing
Loyalty and Respect or it ain't a discussion
Niggas talk shit but to my face they always be hushing
They call it changing for the better shid tough lovin'
Cuz instead they do what I call bluffing
Come to me on that bull shit you ain't saying nun
Cuz I don't like that acting shit or that purping fronting
And I damn sure ain't got no room for tough lovin'

I experienced tough loving my whole life
And it came from my brother but didn't feel right
Sometimes we would argue sometimes even almost fight
At times I thought I wouldn't make it throughout the night
But see that tough lovin' helped me be who I am
It helped separate me from the common ham
Then I got on the come up and was on my own
Gotta bark wit no bite here then take a bone
Never been a hothead but I can hold my own
I ain't the type to grind up a beef over the phone
That petty beef shit something I don't need
That type of shit will be the reason that you don't succeed
Don't need that shit in my life got enough against me
Success coming my way ain't nun gone fence me
Cool and collected a warning don't try to tempt me
Put that gun down nigga or bring it back empty

I don't need no tough lovin I'm not bluffing
It's Loyalty and Respect or no need for discussion
Niggas talk shit but to my face always be hushing
Changing for better I call it tough lovin'
Cuz instead of bein real these niggas be bluffing
Come to me on that bull shit you ain't saying nun
Come at me one on one too real for the jumping
Keep it 100 or keep it pushing get back to running

Claimed to be a big dawg and tried to be cool
Until them gorillas pull up on you and make you a fool
But that's when you younger and full of ignorance
That should change overtime with experience
The point I'm making is don't be delirious
Take life day by day this shit is serious
Cuz you know what really make me furious
People tryna be fast top of the pyramid
And I ain't with the pump faking or the fronting
People got problems but facing em they always be running
Through my experience in life I learned it's bumps in the road
Nowadays yo closest friends be the ones that turn foe
Shots at nobody specific I'm just keeping it real
Man these niggas don't wanna see you shine
Claim they rooting for you but wishing on yo decline
Gotta see the shit through one of my problems since the age of 9
I was acting blind

But I see that shit clearly now
Like I said it ain't gone stop the shine though
This only the start of what I got in store
