Neneh Cherry

Trouble Man

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

Didn't make it sugar, playing by the rules

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

In 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 on moving, gonna go to town

I've come up hard, I come up and get down

There's only three things that's for sure

Taxes, death and trouble

This I know, baby

Oh, that's right

Oh, I've come up hard, baby, with troubled mind

But then I've 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 the 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 about no trouble, got myself together

Got the kind of protection

It'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, with troubled mind

But then I've got my share of what's mine

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

I'm checking trouble sugar, moving down the line

Moving down the line, moving down the line

Moving down the line, yeah, moving down the line
