I'm ready to make it, don't care 'bout the weather
I didn't make it, baby, playin' by the rules
'Cause trouble man don't get in my way, hey, hey
I've been for real, baby, gonna keep movin', gonna go to town
I'm shakin' trouble sugar, movin' down the line
I come up hard, baby, I've been for real, baby
I got my connections, they take my directions
Girl, and you never let it sweat you, baby
I come up hard but that's okay
'Cause trouble man, don't get in my way
I come up hard and now I'm gettin' down
There's only three things for sure
This I know, baby, this I've known, baby
I come up hard baby, but now I'm fine
What people say, that's okay, they don't bother me, no
This I know baby, this I know sugar
I know some places and I seen some faces
Come up hard, baby, I had to fight
To keep my dignity with all my might
Got me singin', yeah, yeah, ooh
Laughin', no cryin', my protection's all around me
All right, baby, ooh
I've come up hard, baby, but now I'm fine
With the trouble man, movin', goin' tight
I've come up hard, but now I'm cool
There's only three things that's for sure
I come up hard but that's okay
Don't care 'bout no trouble, got myself together
Taxes, death and trouble, oh
I come up hard, come up hard, I had to win
I come up hard, baby
Then start all over and win again
I come up hard, come on, get down
Taxes, death and trouble
Hey now, let it sweat, baby, ooh
