Marvin Gaye - Trouble Man (1995) Lyrics

I come up hard, baby and that ain't cool!
I didn't make it sugar, playin' by the rules
I come up hard, babe but now I'm fine
I'm shakin' trouble sugar, movin' down the line
I come up hard, but that's okay

Trouble Man don't get in my way!

I come up hard, baby! I mean fo' real, baby
Gonna keep movin', gonna go to town
I come up hard now I'm gettin' down!
There's only 3 things that's for sure
Taxes, death and trouble

This I know, baby this I know
Yeah, you never let it sweat you baby
Got me singin', yeah, yeah, ooh

I come up hard, baby, I had to fight!
To keep my dignity with all my might!
I come up 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! Now I been some places and I seen some faces
I got my connections they take my directions
Don't care what they say that's okay they don't bother me
I'm ready to make it, don't care 'bout the weather
Don't care 'bout no trouble, got myself together
No laughin', no cryin', my protection's all around me

I come up hard, baby I mean for real, baby
With the Trouble Man movin', goin' tight
I come up hard, come on, get down
There's only 3 things for sure
Taxes, death and trouble

This I know, baby, baby
This I know, baby, baby
Hey now, let it sweat, baby

I've come up hard but now I'm cool
I didn't make it baby, playin' by the rules
I've come up hard baby now I'm fine
Shakin' trouble, sure movin' down the line
