Lyrics Tuff - Mike Teezy

So glad He cleaned me up
Because I came up out the mud
When He dusted me off
He found a diamond in the rough
Just when I thought I had enough
He told me keep on going
Because it's gone make you
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
He told me keep on going
Because it's gone make you
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
He told me keep on going
Because it's gone make you tough

He told me keep going
Boy you got some more in
Cause I ain't done pouring
Only way you reap, if you sowing
Had to crush up the olive
To get the anointing
If snakes in the grass
Get the mowing
I been killing, but people ain't listening
I told them to keep the same energy
When I make it to the top of this industry
It's making me tough
I been through too much
Thank God that I made it out
I ain't folding, like a cuff
In God, put my trust
They thought I'd be breaking down
Just like Fabo, man I could've snapped
I know He's able
And that ain't no cap
I'm in the stu, but I call it the trap
The devil done took a few things
But I'm taking it back
God gave me this gifts like He Santa
I came out the heat like a sauna
I'm sing praises like Hosanna
See I gotta give Him the honor
It don't matter what it looks like
He always comes through
Man He's on time
See I could just take a look
Back at my life
And I can testify
If you don't mind, I

Came up from the muck
And the mire, oh yeah
When I tell my story
They're inspired, oh yeah
I was tired of being
Sick and tired, oh yeah
Came out looking gold
From the fire, oh yeah-yeah

So glad He cleaned me up
Because I came up out the mud
When He dusted me off
He found a diamond in the rough
Just when I thought I had enough
He told me keep on going
Because it's gone make you
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
He told me keep on going
Because it's gone make you
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
He told me keep on going
Because it's gone make you tough

Can't stop
Issa wave
Tell the devil not today
I ain't hearing what he say
I'm Kobe with the Fade Away
Old me
New ways
I try not to misbehave
Why they wanna test the change
I ain't got the time to play
Look at my wrist
No homo
The Boot made me like gumbo
But I'm in DC like Mumbo
Crept in straight thru the front door
The Devil tried to hit me with a combo
In shape but I can't run tho
OG keep it too trill like FonZo
More speed getting to the king like Pronto
I do what I need
To catch up to speed
He making me tuff
Don't care if I bleed
If u wanna sleep
I'm Catching the Zs
I come from the swamps
Got mud on my jeans
And now that I'm clean
Wipe me down
He thought he had me
I psyched em out
Throwing em curves
I striked em out
If I'm in a bond
I'm fighting out

He told me keep on goin
Because It's gone make me tough
All that pressure gone make me a beast
And I beast and I been growing tusks
Take my loses and compare em to my blessings
That's a plus
If being hidden in His will is it for me
Then that's enough

So glad He cleaned me up
Because I came up out the mud
When He dusted me off
He found a diamond in the rough
Just when I thought I had enough
He told me keep on going
Because it's gone make you
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
He told me keep on going
Because it's gone make you
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
He told me keep on going
Because it's gone make you tough

Tough
Gritty
How many times you done fell
Plenty
They love to hate I'm like
Oh well, envy
Booker T when I'm in the booth
You dig it
I'm never ever getting caught slipping
You tripping
Dripping in the blood
Like I rock Davinci
I don't even talk
Sit back and I listen
God give me game
Ain't nothing I'm missing
I'm watching for the snakes
Now days they ain't hissing
What who you calling your brother
Who you kissing
Been getting a little buzz
Now they talk to me different
Back on soccer team
God and I kicking
Been balling for the Lord
I'm watching my pivot
Peeping in the window
Tryna see how I'm living
In the studio killing
Boy we get it popping
Like grease up in the skillet
I put these verses in a skillet
I come from the block
My people feel this
Preaching to the ones
Who don't go to church
In my pain I found out
That my praying works
I put these verses in a skillet
I come from the block
My people feel this
Preaching to the ones
Who don't go to church
In my pain I found out
That my praying works

So glad He cleaned me up
Because I came up out the mud
When He dusted me off
He found a diamond in the rough
Just when I thought I had enough
He told me keep on going
Because it's gone make you
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
He told me keep on going
Because it's gone make you
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
Tough
He told me keep on going
Because it's gone make you tough
