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 that I can go
And if you plan on leaving
Don't make it so soon
'Cause I'm only gonna make it worth your while
'Cause ain't want to give up, baby
It just ain't my style
Will you try, realize
The goal is set right where I want it to be
Ain't gon' stop 'til I reach that spot
Someday I'm gonna make you see
And if you plan on dreaming
Better move right on
'Cause you just read me wrong
'Cause I ain't gon' 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 nothing 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 gonna say it once
And I don't care of that if you don't understand
(Time to get tough now) 'cause my time is running short
And I'm not afraid to beat a golden six-pack grown man
(Time to get tough now) I'd rather get my dream on
Than work that backup plan
That's just gonna waste my time (time to get tough now)
