lyrics

It's who you know, not what you say
Where's that suit from anyway?
It's a tough break, kid
You're not made for the business world
It's a tough break, kid
You're ain't made for that business world
It's where you live, not who you are
That zip code's got them sounding alarms
It's a tough break, kid
You ain't made for that return call
It's a tough break, kid
You ain't made for that return call

Never knowin' just how to act
Au natural or another trap?
They don't intend to call you back
They decided to go in-house on that
Yeah you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know

It's a tough break, kid
You ain't made for that privileged world
It's a tough break, kid
You're not made for that privileged world
It's how you look not what you do
That leather looks a little big on you
It's a tough break, kid
You weren't made for that service world
It's a tough break, kid
You're not made for that service world - high service
It's who you are, it's in your blood
Fate's got you stuck right under her thumb
It's a tough break, kid
You were made for that junkie world
It's a tough break, kid
You were born to the criminal role

It doesn't matter what you say
They'll never love you anyway
If you adapt they'll make you play
If it's not your hair, it's how you say
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello

It's a tough break, kid
You're not made for that privileged world
It's a tough break, kid
You born for the criminal role
Bona fide hustler, makin' off like Lucifer
It's a tough break, kid
You're not made for that privileged world
