Trouble Man

I-I-I come up hard, baby, but now I'm cool

I didn't make it, sugar, playin' by the rules

I come up hard, baby, but now I'm fine

I'm checkin' trouble, sugar, movin' down the line

I come up hard, babe, but that's okay 'cause

Trouble man, don't get in my way

I come up hard, baby, I've been for real, baby

Gonna keep movin', gonna go to town

I come up hard, but mama, I'm gettin' down

There's only three things, that for sure

Taxes, death, and trouble, oh

This I know, baby, this I know, sugar

Yeah, ain't gon' let it sweat me, babe

Got me singin', yeah yeah

Ooh,  come up hard, baby

I had to fight, took care of my business

With all my might, I come up hard, hard, hard, I had to win

Then start all over and win again

I come up hard, but that's okay 'cause

Trouble man, don't get in my way

Hey, hey, I know some places and I've seen some faces

I've got good connections, they dig my directions

When people say, "That's okay", they don't bother me none

I'm ready to make it, don't care what the weather

Don't care 'bout no trouble, got myself together

I feel a kind of protection that's all around

I come up hard, baby, I've been for real, baby

With the trouble man

Movin', goin' tight

I come up hard, how come I'm gettin' down?

There's only three things for sure

Taxes, death, and trouble

Oh, this I know, baby

This I know, baby

Ain't gon' let it sweat me, babe

Oh, no

Woo, I come up hard, but now I'm cool

I didn't make it, baby, playin' by the rules

Come up hard, baby, now I'm fine

I'm checking trouble, sure, hey, movin' down the line
