Tough?

Girlie tough ain't enough.

Million Dollar Baby

They talk about faith

but I’ve been in the brothels

not looking for anything, just walking around,

and I’ve seen the unbearable nature of people

without make up

or any excuse.

You think your tough

but you wouldn’t last five minutes in one dark alley of my city.

I’ve walked down the brothels

and each time I went there I was received as a prodigal son

coming to his land, not yet forgotten,

like a man that goes camping

just to remember

before the sight of the pale moon

that he was raised by wolves.
