Tough
B.jamelle Lyrics

The song "Tough" by B.jamelle is a motivational song that encourages listeners to be strong and not give up in difficult situations. The opening line of the song "Get busy, get on your feet, get out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat" is a metaphorical way of saying that if the situation is too tough, people should step out and find other things to do rather than simply sulking in their own misery. The song implies that life is full of ups and downs, but that one must have the strength to overcome these obstacles. The lyrics "Sometimes you're up, then you go down, you know how to swim, but don't you want to drown" suggest that one may be able to swim in tough situations, but the goal should be to not simply survive but to thrive.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the need to toughen up in order to get ahead in life. The repeated phrase "Get tough get tough, just a little rough around the edges" is a call to action to be resilient and not to give up easily. The lyrics "If you wanna survive don't take a dive get tough" is a reminder that one must not give in to difficulties and instead rise up to face them.

In the second verse, the lyrics suggest that sometimes people may feel overwhelmed and not be able to see the solution to their problems. The lyrics "You can see the forest, but you can't see the trees, how are you gonna see them when you're down on your knees" again remind listeners to stand tall and face their problems head-on with confidence. The song ends with a final call to action "Your higher sense is your best defense," reminding listeners that strength comes from within, and that one must have faith in oneself to overcome difficult situations.
