Song Lyrics

It's getting rough out here
It's getting rough out here y'all
So rough so tough
Rough and tough out here
With that pandemic and all ya know

It's getting rough out here
Real rough and tough
So rough so tough
Rough and tough out here
Check it out

We're all in a bad position
From this world condition
They say that stayin' home is safer
They say it's safer (well, well, well)
So I jumped in my car
And I went to Walmart
I saw people fighting over toilet paper

It's getting rough out here
Get, get, get, gettin' rough out here
So rough so tough (so rough so tough)
Rough and tough out here
Don't you know

It's getting rough out here
It's getting real rough out here
So rough so tough
Rough and tough out here

It really hurts
When you can't go out to work
And if you're single
You can't go out and mingle

Can't even buy no food for you to eat (can't even eat)
Now would be a good time
For that government cheese (oh ho!)

It's getting rough out here
It's getin' rough out here people
So rough so tough
So rough and tough out here
Getting rough

It's getting rough out here
Getting rough out here
So rough so tough
So rough and tough out here

We had the plague (we had the plague)
We had the flood (we had the flood)
We had the fires (we had the fires)
And now we've got the virus (and now we've got the virus)
Now mother earth
As we can see
Is shaking us off like fleas

People of the world (I know it's getting' rough)
And it's really getting' tough
People of the world
But that don't mean a thing
You've gotta keep on fighting
People of the world
Don't ever give up
'Cause we ain't constructed that way (people of the world)
Gotta keep getting' up y'all
Help me sing

It's getting rough out here
Just keep on pushin'
So rough so tough (so rough so tough)
Rough and tough out here

It's getting rough out here
Don't let it get you down
So rough so tough
Rough and tough out here
Pick yourself up off the ground

It's getting rough out here
Just keep on pushin'
So rough so tough
Rough and tough out here
You can make it if you try

It's getting rough out here
It's getting' rough, it's getting' rough y'all
So rough so tough
Rough and tough out here
Don't give up

It's getting rough out here
Keep on pushin'
So rough so tough
Rough and tough out here
It's getting rough out here
