Sampled: 

... 

Too tough to die 



Martina: 

I always wonder why 

My mama left town 

New Haven ain't a bag of salt 

When nobody knows your name 

You look so different over the phone 

Seven states away they're doin' 

Doin' the strange fruit swing 

When they come down 

You have to leave town 



I am 

Too tough to die 

I am 

Too tough to die 



Blessed are those who believe 

Who believe and have not seen 

I wasn't there 

And it's got me wondering 

And the man you make then and now 

He's burning 

School's are learning you can't unlearn 

No room to turn 

Let alone run 



And I am 

Too tough to die 

I am 

Too tough to die 



It's in their eyes 

It's unspoken 

Don't even know they're out to do you harm 

Can't even see the pulse beating 

In the axle of your arm 



Outlaw wearin' diamond patches 

of sunlight on his coat 

Livin in a cage make a 7 time daddy 

lose his mind to roam 

Derision's a cold wind against my skin 

You keep a-flayin til there's no skin at all 

What's to hold it together when you stumble 

And you fall 



I am 

Too tough to die 

I am 

Too tough to die
