Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah (Growin’ up in that struggle)
Tough skin (Yeah)
This the real thing right here, nigga, I can’t make this shit up
Man, I can’t wipe this shit off, nigga, it scare me, I don’t
(Get that baby off the street)

[Chorus]
Tough skin
Growin’ up in that struggle made me have tough skin
My mama and my big brother made me have tough skin
My uncles and my big cousin made me have tough skin
Yeah, this that tough skin (Yeah, this that—), I’m talkin’ tough skin
Nigga, I watched my mama have some tough skin
(Nigga, I watched my mama have that)
It’s why I take my problems and leave ’em tucked in
(It’s why I take my problems)
‘Cause the world don’t care nothin’ ’bout ’em
I don’t give a fuck then, yeah, this that tough skin (Yeah, boom)
I’m talkin’ tough skin
Growin’ up in that struggle made me have tough skin
My mama and my big brother made me have tough skin
(I’m talkin’ my mama and my big brother, man)
My uncles and my big cousin made me have tough skin (Skin)
Yeah, this that tough skin, I’m talkin’-

[Verse]
It wasn’t no plate on the table, we ain’t have nothin’ to eat
Mama at her part-time job, when she get home, we gon’ be sleep, yeah
Shit, I had to figure it out, that’s probably what made me unique, made me u-, uh
If them niggas struggled like me, they’d probably let me be
But I got tough skin, I thought niggas already knew that (Let’s go)
I always been a nappy-head nigga from the bottom
That’s why I don’t be rockin’ no durag (Yeah)
I know how to go and turn nothin’ to somethin’
‘Cause my mama taught me to do that (My mama, uh)
And you know this lil’ nigga ain’t goin’ for nothin’
‘Cause my uncles taught me to shoot back
And my cousin, he told me to shoot first (Go)
And my daddy told me to be me
And take care of your kids, what you do first (Yeah)
I thought you fuck niggas knew Kirk (Yeah)
I thought you fuck niggas knew John
I got some tough skin, nigga, I ain’t goin’ like that
Pay the price, fuck a coupon
They gon’ have to walk up and shoot John

[Chorus]
Yeah, this that tough skin
Growin’ up in that struggle made me have tough skin
(Growin’ up in that struggle made me have—)
My mama and my big brother made me have tough skin
(My mama and my big brother made me—)
My uncles and my big cousin made me have tough skin (Tough skin)
Yeah, this that tough skin, I’m talkin’ tough skin
Nigga, I watched my mama have some tough skin
(Nigga, I watched my mama have that)
It’s why I take my problems and leave ’em tucked in
‘Cause the world don’t care nothin’ ’bout ’em
I don’t give a fuck then (Fuck then), yeah, this that tough skin (Tough skin)
Yeah, this that— (Tough skin)

[Bridge]
(Yeah, growin’ up in that bottom)
(Yeah, nigga, I watched my mama)
(My uncles and my big cousins)
(I learned this shit from my big brother)

[Chorus]
Tough skin
Growin’ up in that struggle made me have tough skin
My mama and my big brother made me have tough skin
My uncles and my big cousin made me have tough skin
This that tough skin, this that tough skin

[Outro]
Nigga, tough skin
You know, tough skin
It’s that shit that’s in you, not on you, know what I’m sayin’?
Bitch, tough skin, nigga
And I’m on you bitch-ass niggas’ ass man
You know? ‘Til the fat lady sing
Nigga, and I don’t listen to opera (I don’t listen to fuckin’ opera)
I listen to Foxy ass (Bitch-ass nigga)
(That ain’t DaBaby, that’s my baby) Let’s go
