Trouble Man

Whoo

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

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

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

I'm checking trouble, sugar, moving down the line

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

Trouble man don't get in the way

I come up hard, babe

I've been for real

Gonna keep moving, gonna go to town

I've come up hard, I've come up gettin' down

There's only three things, that's for sure

Taxes, death, and trouble

This much I know, baby, this I know, lover man

But I ain't gonna let it sweat me none

Got me singing

Yeah, yeah

I come up hard, I've had to fight

Took care of my business with all my might

I've come up hard, I had to win

Then start all over and win again

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

Trouble man don't get in my way, hey

I know some places

And I see some faces

I got good connections

They dig my directions

What people say, that's okay

They don't bother me none

I'm ready to make it

I don't fear the weather

Don't care 'bout no trouble

Got myself together

I see the kind of pretension that's all around me

I come up hard, baby

But I've been for real

I'm gonna keep moving, gonna go to town

I come up hard, I come up gettin' down

There's only three things, that's for sure

Taxes, death, and trouble

Oh, this I've known, baby

This I've really known, lover

I ain't gonna let it sweat me, babe

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

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

I come up hard, but now I'm fine

I'm checking trouble, baby

And I'm moving down the line
