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 baby
but that's ok '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
now I'm gettin' down
There's only three things
that's for sure
taxes, death and trouble
oh
This I know baby
This I know sugar
Girl I ain't gon' let it
sweat me baby
Got me singin'
yeah, yeah
oooh
I come up hard baby
I had to fight
Take care of my business
with all my might
I come up hard
come up hard
I had to win
Then start all over
and win again
I come up hard
but that's ok '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 in my directions
what people say that's ok
they don't bother me
Ha ready to make it
don't fool with no women
don't care 'bout no trouble
got myself together
I feel a kind of protection
is all around me
I come up hard baby
I've been for real baby
with the trouble man
Oooh baby
troubled time
I come up hard
I come up getting down
There's only three things
for sure
taxes, death and trouble
Ooh this I know baby
this I know baby
ain't gon' let it
sweat me baby
Ooh I come up hard
but now I'm cool
I didn't make it baby
playin' by the rules
I come up hard baby
but now I'm fine
checkin' trouble sugar
and movin' down the line
ooh
