Lyrics

The Minor Tough

I want to settle this bet

Don't want your shoulder instead

The minor tough's walking past again

A pure extension, yeah

Reach in your pocket and pull out the pant leg of hate

Reach in your pocket and pull out the pant leg of hate

The hardcore will tell me not to say so

But now, Kiara, where'd your sadness go?

You know I would go try and get through to you

If you weren't down at The Back Room

They're standing up the block and down the street

And they'll be out all night, yeah

As I'm out in the car, it comes to me

They're breaking up inside
