Tough

NEFFEX's song 'Tough' is a powerful declaration of resilience and determination. The lyrics convey a sense of relentless pursuit of success and the refusal to be held back by negativity or adversity. The opening lines, 'I'm taking shots at the enemy! (That's right) / I'm gonna make it to the top leave a legacy,' set the tone for the song, emphasizing the artist's commitment to overcoming obstacles and making a lasting impact. The use of aggressive language and imagery, such as 'pop off with the new rock' and 'blow the sonic roof off,' underscores the intensity and passion driving this pursuit.

The chorus, 'And you cannot save me / 'Cause I don't need saving / It's everything I've been chasing / All here for the taking,' highlights a theme of self-reliance and empowerment. NEFFEX rejects the notion of needing external help, instead focusing on their own capabilities and ambitions. This sentiment is further reinforced by the repeated assertion, 'Don't wanna test ya luck with me / I think I've had enough disease / I'm sick of all the bad thoughts, people who are have-nots / You are not as tough as me.' Here, the artist expresses frustration with negativity and those who doubt their strength, while simultaneously affirming their own resilience and superiority.

The second verse continues to build on these themes, with lines like 'I'm back, you know that I never left / I got tracks and some music that you'd never guess' showcasing NEFFEX's confidence and unwavering dedication to their craft. The mention of 'changing scars to envy' and 'winning large and plenty' suggests a transformation of past struggles into sources of motivation and success. The song's energetic and defiant tone serves as an anthem for anyone facing challenges, encouraging them to harness their inner strength and push forward despite the odds.
