Tough Love (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Good Morning Gorgeous - 2022)

[Mary J. Blige:]
I wish I wasn't so violent
I wish I wasn't so silent
Maybe I can get something done
Maybe I can make a run from all my pride
And all my ego
(Don't wanna do this no more, no more, no more)

I need to be more secure ('Cure)
Had me thinking less when I'm more (More)
Was sleeping, now I'm waken to the core
Never buying tickets to the shitshow
I need to be more secure ('Cure)
Not hating on myself no more (More)
I heard all of this before ('Fore)
Never buying tickets to the shitshow

Tough love is the therapy (Mhm)
Wake up, I ain't scared of me (Mmm)
When I see you testing me (Testing me)
Then I see the best in me (Best in me)
Tough love is the therapy (Mhm)
Wake up, I ain't scared of me (No, no)
When I see you testing me (Testing me)
Then I see the best in me

[Moneybagg Yo:]
Cup of Wockesha and designer shopping (What's that?)
That's my therapy (Okay)
No matter what, I make sure I'm the one that's there for me
Slowly turning into that nigga that I was scared to be
Gotta know it's mutual 'fore I show you the real me (Facts)
You just sent Mary J, now I'm on a track with Mary J. Blige (Blige)
I'm in New York right now Harlem Shaking all my pride (Pride)
Tough love how I'm coming, I ain't letting nothing slide (Nah)
Already know the ounce, so tryna see if you gon' lie (Haha)
Stop calling me brother, I barely know you
I don't ask for much, show me the same love I show you (Love)
Clearport, Billboard, nominated for awards
Hard on myself, I had to strive for it

[Mary J. Blige:]
Great things are always born out of the system
As long as God is with me, I know I'm not a victim
Life so good I just wanna keep living
Life so sweet I just gotta keep giving
Great things are always born out of the system
As long as God is with me, I know I'm not a victim
Life so good I just wanna keep living
Life so sweet I just gotta keep giving

I need to be more secure ('Cure)
Had me thinking less when I'm more (More)
Was sleeping, now I'm waken to the core
Never buying tickets to the shitshow
I need to be more secure ('Cure)
Not hating on myself no more (More)
I heard all of this before ('Fore)
Never buying tickets to the shitshow

Tough love is the therapy (Mhm-hmm)
Wake up, I ain't scared of me (Wake up)
When I see you testing me (Testing me)
Then I see the best in me (Best in me)
Tough love is the therapy (Therapy)
Wake up, I ain't scared of me (Oh, no)
When I see you testing me (Testing me)
Then I see the best in me

I'm not wasting my time
'Cause peace is hard to find
It gets so hard to climb
It's like I'm going blind
'Cause life's the sweetest pain
I'd rather go insane
Than live my life in vain
Live my life in vain

Tough love is the therapy (No)
Wake up, I ain't scared of me (You better wake up)
When I see you testing me
Then I see the best in me (Oh, yeah)
Tough love is the therapy (Tough love)
Wake up, I ain't scared of me (That's what I need)
When I see you testing me (Testing me)
Then I see the best in me (Oh)
Tough love is the therapy
Wake up, I ain't scared of me (No, no)
When I see you testing me (When I see you testing me)
Then I see the best in me
Tough love is the therapy (Mmm)
Wake up, I ain't scared of me (Wake up)
When I see you testing me (Testing me)
Then I see the best in me

Oh
Oh
Tough love
It's what I need, it's what I need
