Em C
You think you're tough with your bass speakers kicking in the back
D Em
And your triple X lyrics blaring from your puke green Cadillac
Em C
You've got your bling bling on And your tattoos running up and down your arms
D Em
Ah ain't you bad with the seat of your britches hanging down that far
D C

D C
ain't got a thing to do with being tough
Em D

Get up out of that bed at the break of day

Em C
It might seem that I'm comin down a little hard on you
D Em
But you think you're a man and you still gotta lot of growin up to do
Em C
I bet you talk a big game when you're hangin' with your boys in some pool hall
D Em
But I wonder how you'd act if you ever had your back up against the wall
D C

D C
But you've got a lot to learn about being tough

waving goodbye as her baby leaves
