[Part 1] I was entombed in the belly of the shadow of d**h Joker on my right hand, coward on my left Doin a dance with the devil in the pale moonlight Hoping everything'll be alright Trouble come easy, trouble come sweet Trouble catch yo a** layin in the bath next week Trouble take everything you own and make you pay just to send it back home Well I never been a criminal, never been a thief When I say I been to jail, it ain't the penitentiary Cause baby penitence is hell enough Said I could take it then they called my bluff Well the doctor looked at me and said "he's trouble" My mama held me in her arms said "I'm trouble" Folks singin in church say I'm trouble My daddy knew it all along I was - trouble [Chorus 2x] Mama told me son, forget what they told ya Only you can make the choices that'll mold ya And any which way that you decide You gon be trouble, you gon be trouble [Part 2] Put all my money in fame and fortune How disappointing to end up livin like a powerless bum If I could find the fortune teller, I would tell her Please give me back all the leather that I paid her just to be number 1 Well a promise can't buy me and lies ain't cheap One day I pray I find the truth cause like they say it'll set you free Never listen to the words of some, spent ten years living life on the run Well I did a little college, but ain't got a degree Learned just enough to know a cynic's heart is never sleep But maybe somewhere it's inside us all Too scared to look for fear that we might fall See me coming in the game to give em trouble Ain't gotta like me but respect me, I am trouble Put your hand over your heart if you know trouble Like I know trouble, this world is trouble [Chorus 4x]
