[Verse 1]
Oh-ooh, I come up hard, baby
I had to fight
Took care of my business, yeah
With all my might
I came up hard, babe, I had to win
Start all over and win again

[Pre-Chorus]
I know some places and I've seen some faces
I've got good connections, you'll dig my directions
What people say, that's okay
'Cause they don't bother me

[Chorus]
I'm a trouble man, babe
And that's okay
Trouble man, babe
Don't get in my way
Trouble man, baby
I'm still cool
Trouble man, baby
Makin' all my rules

[Verse 2]
I came 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know some places and I've seen some faces
I've got good connections, you'll dig my directions
What people say, that's okay
'Cause they don't bother me, baby

[Chorus]
I'm a trouble man, babe
But that's cool
Trouble man, babe
Makin' all the rules
Trouble man, baby
But that's okay
Trouble man, baby
Don't get in my way

[Bridge]
Oh-oh, oh, a trouble man, babe
Trouble man
But that's cool
Trouble man, baby, trouble
Trouble man, baby, trouble love

[Pre-Chorus]
I know some places and I've seen some faces
I've got good connections, you'll dig my directions
What people say, that's okay
'Cause they don't bother me
I'm ready to make it, don't care what's the weather
Don't care 'bout no trouble, got myself together
'Cause I got protection all around me, oh, baby
[Chorus]
Trouble man
And that's okay
Trouble man
Trouble man, baby
Trouble man, baby
Trouble man, baby
Trouble
Trouble man, baby
Makin' my rules
Trouble man, baby
But that's cool
'Cause I'm a trouble man, baby

[Outro]
Ain't playin' the rules
Makin' the moves, babe
I came up, gettin' down
All around that's goin' down, baby
A trouble man, babe
Trou-trouble man, babe
I'm comin' up, baby
Wasn't easy, trouble man, baby
Hey, I'm trouble man, baby
Trouble man, trouble man
Trouble man, baby
Don't get in my way
I'm a trouble man, baby
It's okay
