Gilda: Tougher Than Leather

"Unconceivable, unbelievable,
Grammar like a hammer information receivable!
Sent by the Lord, here and abroad,
With words well adored that they can't be ignored!

For force, because that makes Run the boss,
So get lost, because I just tossed the poss.
Make way today, and if I may, I say,
I make pay with Jay, so get away, OK?
Gaining weight, I ate the whole plate to date,
Never make the break, I don't state the stake.
Just keep the keep, I don't sleep for weeks,
Get deep to leap, or I'll beep the Jeep.
Put down the clown, get 'round the town,
I've bound the sound, and I've found the crown.
Get paid and laid, not jade afraid,
'Cause I stayed and made, not a man to fade.
Gotta group the troop, gotta shoot to shoot,
Shoot hoop to scoop, or a scoop to loop.
Going off and on, not soft to con,
Just black and back to go back and run.
Go to school and cool, not drool or pool,
Gotta soul and goal and cold hold the jewel.
Upset the best I met, met a jest,
Just less the pest, and I'll take the bet.
Gotta punch the crunch, cold munch for lunch,
Not Grady or the lady from the Brady Bunch.
Got G's and Lees, like D's and T's,
Charge Bs for freeze, or Ds with ease.
No dope to cope, just good to go,
There's hope the Pope, big nope for nope.
Quite clever and ever, but together forever,
Run-D.M.C, and we're tougher than leather!

Strong and mighty, hard as can be,
The perception of the life were as strong as D.
Never frightened, I'm writing, write for what's right,
It's even deeper in the night, I'm keepin' with my mic.
I gotta go for broke, and I ain't no joke,
I'm gonna yoke the choke, 'cause of the suckers I smoke.
Bum rush and crush, leave 'em in the dust,
Bust the bust, those scum who mess with us.
Only strong survive, and the weak will die,
As long as I'm alive, I'll keep my head up high.
Because I'm strong in body, and smart in mind,
I was born to bind, as the gift to mankind.
I pump with jump, never givin' no slack,
I be killin' the villain, and I chillin' (You're black!).
I'm not a bum, not dumb, it's me you work from,
I'm the king to my beat 'til my kingdom come.

'Cause I'm rough and tough, cold huff and puff,
Don't bluff the stuff, got enough to muff.
Go long and on, no longer song,
Go on and on, just from dusk to dawn.
Put preach and teach with a speech to reach,
All streets in each, with beats for treats.
Got the king supreme, may seem the gleam,
With a beam the ream, no scream machine.
Not a gang to bang, out to hang with slang,
Talkin' angers ang, about everything.
Just brothers and others, like fathers and mothers,
Who discovered the lovers that think they're up and above us.
No crime or time, just rhyme and I'm,
Full grown and own no phone or time.
Just cut the stuff, do you get enough?
'Cause we're rougher than tougher and rougher-tougher than tough.
With a voice like thunder, words of wonder,
All alone standing tall and suckers roll under.
Possessed with power, cowards will cower,
Dogs we devour, hour after hour after hour.
Three man riot, you can't deny it,
Will so ill that you can't defy it.
Gonna live positive, forever and ever,
Run-D.M.C, and we're tougher than leather!"

Time for everypony's favorite griffon, Gilda! I had some trouble thinking of what to do for her (I actually was thinking of not doing her entirely, but I'm sure many people would not be happy with me), but after going through some classic hip-hop records, Run-DMC seems right up her alley. She seems like she would have this song as a bit of a theme for her.

This was pretty easy to sketch. I was a bit unsure of what I wanted to do with her. So I just went with her evil glare with her turned head.

"Tougher Than Leather" was written by Jam-Master Jay (Jason William Mizell), Run (Joseph Simmons), and D.M.C. (Darryl McDaniels) and first appeared on 'Tougher Than Leather', released on September 16, 1988.
