Tougher than them
Tougher than them
Tougher than them

I was born tougher than them, and rougher than them
All of them move and act, you know I set the trend
I ban quicker than them, I dress slicker than them
I am the leaf, I am the root, I am the branch, I am the stem

Who tests them, the champion is a true born legend
Entered the business in '75 and that was way back when
Work them! Wipipipi bamskeng
When Beenie and Bounty were just children
If you think it's a lie, go ask the general skeng
I used to DJ stereo Mars from ten till ten
Volcano, 'Jaro until the needle bends
I am the governor general, that means I don't beg friends
They took my banton, I never took anything from them
I am the standard recommended highest grade of the blend
Started walking to the pen with Ricky and his crew around Grants Pen

Tougher than them, and rougher than them
All of them move and act, you know I set the trend
I ban quicker than them, I dress slicker than them
I am the leaf, I am the root, I am the branch, I am the stem

I stand up like Daniel in the lion's den
Walk alone, that means I don't walk with friends
Any boy I don't like, I don't talk to them
Girls I don't rate can't be my girlfriends
I don't borrow a gun, I don't lend a gun
I lock the Glock and ten for the sake of children
War, obstacles, barriers, and problems
If a fool violates, you know I get condemned

Call me tougher than them, and rougher than them
All of them move and act, you know I set the trend
I ban quicker than them, I dress slicker than them
I am the leaf, I am the root, I am the branch, I am the stem

From the day I was born, I'm a gangster for them
Some talking out their face and there's no problem
Standing out on the road and they're peeking over my fence
Like they want to take the stripes off my pants leg
Jah Jah is my guide, Selassie is my confidence
I'm earning all the dollars, they're accumulating cents
Hyping themselves up, and they don't have any sense
I rule the lane, the streets, and the providence

Tougher than them, and rougher than them
All of them move and act, you know I set the trend
I ban quicker than them, I dress slicker than them
I am the leaf, I am the root, I am the branch, I am the stem

Who tests them, the champion is a true born legend
Entered the business in '75 and that was way back when
Work them! Wipipipi bamskeng
When Beenie and Bounty were just children
If you think it's a lie, go ask the general skeng
I used to DJ stereo Mars from ten till ten
Volcano, 'Jaro until the needle bends
I am the governor general, that means I don't beg friends
They took my banton, I never took anything from them
I am the standard recommended highest grade of the blend
Started walking to the pen with Ricky and his crew around Grants Pen

Tougher than them, and rougher than them
