Tough Child

(Lil' bro ain't got no soul)
(Lil' bro ain't got no heart)
(I say, lil' bro ain't no soul)
(Lil' bro ain't got no heart)
(He been all by his self, but he been playin his part)
(Bro ain't got no soul)
(Lil' bro ain't got no soul)

I say lil bro ain't got no soul
Lil' bro ain't got no heart
He been all by his self but he been playin' his part
Whole life been at war, so his mind stuck in the dark
But as he lookin' at the sun, it slowly warms his heart
Lil' bro ain't got no soul
Whoa-oh
He just wanna let it all go
Whoa-oh

See growing up, he had it hard
He didn't have a father but he still played his part
And he never questioned his mother even when she came up short
And as she lookin' in his eyes, she can tell he got that spark
And even though he quit school, she could tell that he was smart
And baby boy I know you different, you don't got to pay attention
But as long as you just listen
And stay up on yo' grind, you can't give up on ya' mission

And if you keep goin', baby boy you gon' finish
And growing up, I had it so hard
Look at me now, that shit done brought me so far
Ay' look growing up in the hood
You got to take care a lot of responsibility yo' self
Everything leave early
You a man, at a young age, but you got to push through til' you meet the end

I say lil bro ain't got no soul
Lil' bro ain't got no heart
He been all by his self but he been playin' his part
Whole life been at war, so his mind stuck in the dark
But as he lookin' at the sun, it slowly warms his heart
Lil' bro ain't got no soul
Whoa-oh
He just wanna let it all go
Whoa-oh

See growing up, he had it hard
He didn't have a father but he still played his part
And he never questioned his mother even when she came up short
And as she lookin' in his eyes, she can tell he got that spark
And even though he quit school, she could tell that he was smart
