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
Movin' down the line
I come up hard, baby
But that's okay
Trouble man
Don't get in the way
I come up hard, baby
I'm in for real
Gonna keep movin'
Gonna go to town
I come up hard
Come up, gettin' down
There's only three things
That's for sure
Taxes, death and trouble
This I know, baby
I ain't gonna let it sweat me
No no
Not gonna let it get me
Got me singin'
Got me singin' singing'
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I come up hard, baby
I had to fight
Took care of my business
With all of my might
I come up hard
And I had to win
Then start all over
And win again
I come up hard
But that's okay
Trouble man
Don't get in my way
Hey
I know some places
And I see some faces
I've got the connections
I 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
I see the kind of protection
That's all around me
I come up hard
But that's okay
Trouble man
Don't get in my way
I come up hard, baby
I been for real
Gonna keep movin'
Gonna go to town
I come up hard
I come up, gettin' down
There's only three things fo' sho'
Taxes, death and trouble, trouble
This I know baby
This I know, sugar girl
I ain't gon' let it sweat me
You have come along and get me
Got me singin'
Got me singin' singing'
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Trouble
I come up hard baby
But that's okay
Trouble man
Don't get in the way
I come up hard, baby
I been for real
Gonna keep movin'
Gonna go to town
I come up hard, baby
Come on gettin' down
There's only three things fo' sho'
Taxes, death and trouble, oh yeah
Ow!
