Not Hard Enough – Doughboy God Lyrics
You was talkin' big
When the hallway was loud
Now it's bunk bed metal
And a tray on a cart
You had chest for the corner
Not for a locked door
Now you countin' ceiling tiles
At 3:04
Funny how a little space
Make a big man fold
Same tough mouth
But the story get told
I don't say names
I let the paper do that
Your whole run was borrowed
Mine came from the crack
You was talkin' big, now the room talk back
Same loud mouth, but the stripe got slack
Talk all day till the steel comes down
Then that big talk ghost when the guard walks round
You was talkin' big like you ran that block
Now you whisper through the bars and the slot
I don't need to yell, let the record show
Big talk thin out where the hard walls go
You used to front like a problem
Like I should be worried
Now that same mouth real quiet
When the lights get turned low
I heard you write from the cell
Tryin' to sound like a king
But the pen don't make you hard
When the bars do the sing
I been out here movin' smart
You been boxed in slow
All that talk for the crowd
Now it's nowhere to go
You can keep that tough-guy pose
Pressed flat in the lockup
I built from the side door
You got stuck at the door
You was talkin' big, now the room talk back
Same loud mouth, but the stripe got slack
Talk all day till the steel comes down
Then that big talk ghost when the guard walks round
You was talkin' big like you ran that block
Now you whisper through the bars and the slot
I don't need to yell, let the record show
Big talk thin out where the hard walls go
Now I don't need no angle
I don't need no scene
You learn real quick in a cell
What all that bark means
Cold floor, thin blanket
Same four walls every day
And the loudest one in the room
Don't stay loud that way
So keep my name off your breath
Keep my shadow out your mouth
You was big in the free world
Now the free world did you out
I ain't braggin', I'm just sayin'
What the county already knows
Some people get hard for a minute
Then the door lock close
