Tuff Skin

Tuff Skin is an R&B/Hip-Hop hybrid that blends raw lyricism with soulful melodic energy, exploring the tension between inner softness and the hard realities of life. Co-written by Zorinkima Chhunthang and his longtime partner Miss P (Partei Hangsing), the song captures the emotional grit and spiritual grounding that define their collaborative style. The hook sets the emotional tone: building a “kingdom and a home” requires toughness, but the heart’s true strength is in staying soft despite the coldness of power and systems stacked against you. The tone shifts into spiritual warfare and inner conflict. The narrator confronts temptation, fear, and negativity (“Get off my grind, Devil”), anchoring himself in divine connection Kim The Beloved wrote this song from a place of responsibility and humility – a father figure determined to break cycles, provide for his family, and walk with integrity. He rejects empty intellect and clout-chasing, emphasizing lived wisdom, accountability, and the ripple effects of every action. The verse blends personal struggle with spiritual awakening, pointing toward grace, redemption, and the hope of resurrection. The Bridge brings an R&B softness, a longing for real love and realheartedness in a world obsessed with performance and intellect. It’s a reminder that growth isn’t just hustle, it’s emotional honesty and letting go. Overall, Tuff Skin blends vulnerability and grit, faith and frustration, earthly trials and heavenly hope. It’s a testament to staying soft, staying rooted, and staying aligned with purpose while navigating real-life weight.
