Time To Get Tough

Times are getting tough now

And there is only one thing that I need to know

Is it going to make me a better man

Or bring it on, so I can go



And if you plan on leaving

Don't make it so soon 

'Cuz I'm only gonna make it 

Worth your while

'Cuz aint want to give up baby

It just ain't my style



Will you try 

To realize

The goal is set right where I want it to be 

Ain't goin' stop

Till I reach that spot

Someday I'm going to make you see



And if you plan on dreaming

Better move right on 

'cuz you just read me wrong

'cuz I ain't going a make believing

Think of what I need to do all day long



So understand what a man says

When he's got something strong

And he isn't gonna let something get in his way

Got a lot to do for tomorrow

But I'm a whole lot further than I was yesterday

[Time to get tough now]

I  know what you thinking

Because you ain't the first to preach to me about that backup plan

[Time to get tough now]

I'm only going to say it once

I don't care of that if you don't understand

[Time to get tough now]

'Cuz my time is running short

And I'm not afraid beat...(unknown)

[Time to get tough now]

I'd rather get my dream on

Than work that back plan 

That's just gonna waste my time
