Trouble Man

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

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

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

Checking trouble, sugar, moving down the line

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

'Cause Trouble Man don't get in my way

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

Gonna keep moving, I'm gonna go to town

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

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

Taxes, death, and trouble

This I know, baby

Huh, right

Mhm

Uh, I've come up hard, baby, the Trouble Man

But then I got my share of what's mine

Oh, I've come up hard, baby, but that's okay

'Cause Trouble Man don't get in my way

Oh, I've come up hard, baby

I know some places

And I see some faces

I've got good connections

They dig my directions

What people say, that's okay

They don't bother me

I'm ready to make it

Don't care what the weather

Don't care 'bout no trouble

Got myself together

Got the kind of protection

That's all around me

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

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

Oh, I've come up hard, baby, but that's okay

'Cause Trouble Man don't get in my way

Oh, I've come up hard, baby, the Trouble Man

But then I got my share of what's mine

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

Checking trouble, sugar, moving down the line

Moving down the line

Moving down the line

Moving down the line, yeah, ooh

Moving down the line
