They´Re So Tough

They´re so tough
They like to make us feel little
They like to meke us feel small
They like to put us down
´till we feel no good at all

Then they tell us that we´re stupid
That we got no sense at all
They´ll take away the spark
Keep us in the dark
Make us feel we have no vision at all

Chorus:
No, no, no, i don´t believe it has to be this way
No, i don´t believe it has to be this way

Then they tell us to be patient
That our time will come
But i´ve stood outside their doors
And walk their floors
And i ain´t gonna do it again

They´d like to make me their nigger
I say to hell with them
I´m not getting down on my knees
And begging please
Can you throw me a crumb now and then

Chorus:
No, no, no, i don´t believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, i don´t believe it has to be this way

I can´t really speak to you
And i don´t know about them
They must be out of their minds
Can´t read between the lines
They can stick it where the sun don´t shine

Chorus:
No, no, no, i don´t believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, i don´t believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, i don´t believe it has to be this way

They´re so tough

They are so tough
