Tough Love Lyrics

Yeah, we're different but the same

Hate to say that it's a shame that we got something to hide

But I guess we're both to blame

Even though we're both from Kaye, I don't think we can relate

And I just can't believe how long I had to wait to say we're just different but the same

Yeah, we're different but the same (Na na na)

Yeah, I know that it's real that we feel some type of way

When it comes to the problems we're dealin' with today

So yeah, I will still love you after this whole family case

But pardon me if I cuss or say something that's out of place (I got a lot to say)

I got an idea on where to start

Now should it come from the brain or should it come from the heart?

I guess it doesn't matter cause this message will get to you either way

You ask why I'm writing this? Cause I remember them days

Yeah I remember the times 'bout the age of nine

I used to sit alone in my room and sometimes I would cry (damn)

I wanted to strengthen our bond, but you didn't want to get along

So I guess I have to put how I really feel in this song

While we were struggling to make the ends meet

You wouldn't have a second thought when you would offend me

Plus, when you wanted something, you always acting friendly

Eventually turned into a frenzy

Yeah we're different but the same

Hate to say that it's a shame that we got something to hide

But I guess we're both to blame

Even though we're both from Kaye, I don't think we can relate

And I just can't believe how long I had to wait to say that we're just different but the same

These cold nightmares still haunt my days (Yeah we're different but the same)

They want to stay, but I'm awake to feed this fire

This burning desire that haunts my soul to kill me more

But I don't want this precious life to feed your fire

I rarely ask you for a favor

Sometimes I really think that you could be in danger

From all the partying you're doin' like a rager

And you say that you know your limit when you drink

You should also apply that to how you speak

Sometimes I wonder how far you'll actually fall from Gods Grace

Sad to say you don't care about the tears on our moms face

I won't let this metaphor go to waste

You start up your car and I put on my shoes, but we're still running the same race

Cause even though that we're black, don't think it'll change the fact some people will have your back

You need to pick up the slack or else you're gonna get smacked (heh)

Look at your little bro clappin' back and you can put that on Snapchat (Damn)

Spamming on your story for attention and glory

Don't be like that in your forties

Selfish and hoarding your cash

Shaking your ass, moments you want to make last

But every time we argue you would bring shit up from the past (Why does she do that?)

Man, I don't know, I'll take that and grow

Or maybe suppress like I should've done so long ago

Thought about matching the flow, we wasn't feeling it though

Soon as I saw how you act, I took a different approach

I think you've reached a new low

Cause can't you see the trauma that you're causing momma from your petty ways? I think she's had enough

Oh, you think that this song is a bluff?

If I were you I would take it as tough love

Yeah we're different but the same

Hate to say that it's a shame that we got something to hide

But I guess we're both to blame

Even though we're both from Kaye, I don't think we can relate

And I just can't believe how long I had to wait to say we're just different but the same

These cold nightmares still haunt my days (Yeah we're different but the same)

They want to stay but I'm awake to feed this fire

This burning desire that haunts my soul to kill me more

But I don't want this precious life to feed your fire

It's crazy

But it's a lesson in there for you to see
