Tough (w/ Quavo)

Recommended Posts

[chorus]

Tough
Come on, take a ride with me
Like the 808s beatin' in the trunk in Atlanta when it's tough
It was kinda hard for me
Running through money, couldn't find love, then we came up
You can have it all, baby
Spinnin' through the stars, still shinin' like a diamond in the rough (Still shinin')
And that's hard if you ever lost someone that you love

The pain I've been showing you like

Still family if you're wrong or you're right

It's not something you wanna do

Its something you gotta do

 

[chorus]
 

[Verse 2?]

oh, tellin me to smile for ya

like the nickel wound strings of a good old

bass and guitar

tell me do you feel better

blowing smoke on the way ?? (in the barrel?)

yeah yeah

songs that your mama sang to you

and the way that he makes me tell the truth

and he... tough

oooo

say that you can follow? (or it's "say that you'll be fine")

it's not what you wanna do

its what you gotta do now

these gonna... around? (maybe it's "please don't mess around)

it's not what you wanna do

its what you gotta do

 

[chorus]

Thank you! 

 

Still a huge fan of these lyrics. They're clever, and thoughtful, and I love the references to grandpa, mom. It's surprisingly warm.

there's quite a bit that'll change when we hear the final studio version but that's what i could hear. the mom bit at first i heard "explained what your mom said to ya" but then listening to another clip, it sounded like "sing songs your mama sang to ya" so im not sure entirely

I’m pretty sure it’s “my grandpa’s glass” but it’s kind of hard to tell


Quavo confirmed on instagram the lyrics are “tough like the stuff in my grandpa’s glass”


"Don’t forget me"

Like the smoke and the drawl every now in the way you talk slow
 

I'm convinced it's :
Like the smoke and the drawl of your "y'all" and the way you talk slow

i’m trying so hard but i can’t make out what she says after drawl but i feel like its not “every now” it sounds more like “yall” or maybe of it all

Tough now officially outstreamed these songs on Spotify (see spoiler). 55,350,974 total streams, 2,805,168 daily average. That's more than any other Lana song at the moment, even Summertime Sadness.

 

Should outstream Arcadia, Summertime (Gershwin), TJF and White Dress about tomorrow or the day after.
