Born Tuff
Doo ba, doo ba, ooh-ooh
Doo ba, doo ba, ooh-ooh
Doo ba, doo ba, ooh-ooh
Doo ba, doo ba, ooh-ooh
I never thought I'd live to see
The way you treated me
You showing me all your convictions
And still we cannot see
I know that you have got the power
To license right from wrong
But I know when you feel you got the one
Another one will come along, oh
'Cause I was-a born tuff
You said I wasn't good enough
'Cause I was-a born tuff
You said I wasn't good enough
You've woken up and changed the rules
You call philanthropy, yeah
Human rights is just a word
To you but not for me
You're hoping now that we're afraid
Of your technology
But I know, we all got to go
So why should that now frighten me, oh
'Cause I was-a born tuff
You said I wasn't good enough
'Cause I was-a born tuff
You said I wasn't good enough
All right
Oh...
Oh...
White boys sing of our condition
But you won't listen to we, no
They know you're practicing racism
Right down from A to Z
Painting God in-a your image
And the devil just like we
But I won't kill my brother for my neighbor
The time is up, it's love you see, oh
'Cause I was-a born tuff
You said I wasn't good enough
'Cause I was-a born tuff
You said I wasn't good enough
Oh...
Oh...
'Cause I was-a born tuff
You said I wasn't good enough
I never thought I'd live to see
The way you're treating me
You showing me all your convictions
And still we cannot see
I know that you have got the power
To license right from wrong
But I know when you feel you got the one
Another one will come along
'Cause I was-a born tuff
You said I wasn't good enough
'Cause I was-a born tuff
You said I wasn't good enough
'Cause I was-a born tuff
You said I wasn't good enough
'Cause I was-a born tuff
You said I wasn't good enough
'Cause I was-a born tuff
You said I wasn't good enough
