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 but that's okay
'Cause trouble man, don't get in my way
I come up hard, babyI've been for real, baby, gonna keep movin', gonna go to town
I come up hard I come up gettin' down
There's only three things that's for sure
Taxes, death and trouble
This I know baby, this I know sugar
Girl Ain't gon let it sweat me babeGot me singin', yeah, yeah, ooh
Come up hard, baby, I had to fight

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, heyI know some places and I seen some faces
