Thick Skin - 3:05

[xnyonthehombre]

Updating an earlier post here's the finished lyrics. The full music will not come for a while as I don't currently have access to my bass or keyboard. However, you might get an acoustic version sometime in the near future. This is a song about the blows you're dealt in daily life and how sometimes everything sucks but eventually you'll get by as long as you roll with the punches. You've just gotta have thick skin.

Sometimes this life just ain't what it seems
Sometimes in life it's more than just me
Despite all this grief, anger, and strife
Forget what you need, you'll get it in time

But you've gotta have thick skin
You've gotta take quick strides
You can't keep it all in
But I'm not that kind
You've gotta have thick skin
You've gotta take it all in stride
You've gotta end to begin
You gotta be that guy

Sometimes your hand seems not to stack up
Sometimes your hand is all that you've got
Despite all the rules, sideshows, and vices
Forget how to play, strong will's good enough

But you've gotta have thick skin
You've gotta take quick strides
You can't keep it all in
But I'm not that kind
You've gotta have thick skin
You've gotta take it all in stride
You've gotta end to begin
You've gotta be that guy

Sometimes this life will beat you around
Sometimes in life you get kicked when you're down
Despite all the shock, pain, and lost fights
Forget how to strike and roll with the punch

But you gotta have thick skin
You gotta take quick strides
You can't keep it all in
But I'm not that kind
You gotta have thick skin
You gotta take it all in stride
You gotta end to begin
You gotta be that guy
