I've come up hard baby
And 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 ok
'Coz 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
Come up and get down
There's only three things that's for sure
Taxes death and trouble
This I know baby
Oh I've come up hard baby
With a troubled mind
But then I've got my share
Of what's mine
Oh I've come up hard baby
But that's Ok
'Coz 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 ok
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 Ok
'Coz trouble man
Don't get in my way
Oh I've come up hard baby
With the troubled mind
But then I've got my share
Of what's mine
I've come up hard
But now I'm fine
Checking trouble sugar
Moving down the line ....
