[Verse 1] You walk up slow With that fake chin up Boots too clean Hands all talk, no grip You bark real loud When the room go quiet But I see your eyes When the pressure hits You got a front Like a chained-up dog All that chest Just to cover up fear I been in the mud I been through the rush You fold too fast When it gets too real [Pre-Chorus] Say it again Your voice shakes first Then your stance breaks down You show your cards Every time you move I know that look You been figured out [Chorus] You ain't tough You ain't tough Not when it counts You ain't tough You ain't tough You break down loud Try that grin Try that bluff It don't hold up You ain't tough You ain't tough You ain't tough [Verse 2] You love that talk When the lights come on When the crowd around You can play that role But one hard stare And the mask slips off One sharp word And you lose control I don't need much Just the truth in view You keep spinning lies Till they trip on you You move like fear Got a foot in the door But your heart stay back Where the weak ones do [Pre-Chorus] Say it again Say you won't fold Your knees say no Before your mouth does You show your fear In the way you stand I read that quick Like a posted sign [Chorus] You ain't tough You ain't tough Not when it counts You ain't tough You ain't tough You break down loud Try that grin Try that bluff It don't hold up You ain't tough You ain't tough You ain't tough [Bridge] When the room gets cold And the truth gets near All that big talk Turns thin real fast You can keep that pose Keep that paper crown It cracks at the edge Every time you ask [Final Chorus] You ain't tough You ain't tough Not when it counts You ain't tough You ain't tough You break down loud Try that grin Try that bluff It don't hold up You ain't tough You ain't tough You ain't tough
