Trouble
Ab-Soul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And oh, oh, oh, I be in trouble
And oh, oh, oh, I be in trouble
And oh, oh, oh, I be in trouble
And oh, oh, oh, I be in trouble
And oh, I be in trouble
And I know, and I know, and I know, yah, yah
And I know, and I know, and I know, yah, yah
And I know, and I know, and I know, yah, yah
And I know, I know
Pump the breaks brake pads all bad no rubber
Got a chick she bad so bad no rubber
O no no what am I thinking
Titanic swag, Jack Dawson sinking
No thinking just do it all Nike no wisdom here
All blind no light all dark no vision here
Turn my cheek that's a no no, I retaliate with a 1,2,1,2,1,2 finish with a elbow
Feigning, stack paper like jenga, find a loyal one Gena, side piece Latina
Ever since on riverside, I was playing with my pride
Lust steal kill and lie, while Gods watching I go hide
Look, all gas unleaded, far from level headed
Puff pass extended, so high I ascended
Red and blue lights I begin to stumble
And oh, oh, oh, I be in trouble
And oh, oh, oh, I be in trouble
And oh, oh, oh, I be in trouble
And oh, oh, oh, I be in trouble
And oh, I be in trouble
And I know, and I know, and I know, yah, yah
And I know, and I know, and I know, yah, yah
And I know, and I know, and I know, yah, yah
And I know, I know
So foolish so foolish and I know it that's the bad part
Willingly doing things stupidly that's the sad part
Imminent Like NASCAR, ima crash Ima burn no return no return no return got a bad heart
Bible Belt no bible thumper, o no
Button up slacks and such, no go
Catch me in a polo
In the zone with a yella bone with her telephone as we getting stoned taking photos
More Pride than a pharaoh, broad path no narrow
Spend cash on my apparel, stay sharp like arrows
Feeling like a king you kno what I mean
Step up on the scene always looking clean
Aubrey on my worst behavior, sauce it up got all the flavors
Partners taught me to be a playa, same team like we on the lakers Playing with that sin catch a triple double
And oh, oh, oh, I be in trouble
And oh, oh, oh, I be in trouble
And oh, oh, oh, I be in trouble
And oh, oh, oh, I be in trouble
And oh, I be in trouble
And I know, and I know, and I know, yah, yah
And I know, and I know, and I know, yah, yah




And I know, and I know, and I know, yah, yah
And I know, I know

LYRICS!

[Hook: Aloe Blacc]
I'm gonna get in my car
But wherever I go
Seems like trouble will find me
And I don't want trouble to find me

[Verse 1: Ab-Soul]
I admit I play hide and seek with the violence
String theories together just like a violin
Red roses, blue violets
The top pick in the cockpit
That's fly shit
Like defecating on a private plane, it's simple
G4 with it, women with me
In the present, here's a test
If you tour the future then the past represents death
Life, will it take me under? I don't know
The good die young and the ugly get dough
I feel this prickly feeling on the back of my neck
The reaper tippy toe behind me everywhere that I go
That's why I ride slow, I used to be in a rush
Fast life, slow motion
These days, I'm so focused
And as soon as the chauffeur hold this door open I'ma

[Hook: Aloe Blacc]
I'm gonna get in my car, I'm gonna drive real fast
But wherever I go
Seems like trouble will find me
And I don't want trouble to find me

[Verse 2: Ab-Soul]
Here's a tiny tip
There's no escapin' the trouble that come with this grand hustle
You willin' to give everything for the glistenin' wrists
Findin' the right fabric to keep your family knit
Vanity slave, runnin' red lights, smokin' weed, they in love with you
When you're untouchable, sonny
You was born to fuckin' die, 'til then get money
The belly of the beast ain't no tummy, you mistaken
Track record longer than a train station
You just record tracks, what a waste of wax
Name an individual exempt
From a candlelight vigil and bring me his head
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Optimistic but they say I need an ophthalmologist
Now they just look at me like they owe me apologies
So many red eyes I might need Visine
Audio pilot, that's why I'm so high up
The trouble still finds us like a citation, that's why I'm hatin'
The waitin' and silent conversation with God like
Why the Hell is Heaven so far?
Don't need a stairway, I need a rocketship to blast off
So what? No buts, I work my ass off
And all my champions comply
It's do or die when I ride, Tracy Chapman didn't die, nah

[Bridge: Aloe Blacc] x2
I'm gonna get in my car, I'm gonna drive real fast
But wherever I go
Seems like trouble will find me
And I don't want trouble to find me

[Outro: Aloe Blacc]
No more, no more, no more
I don't want trouble to find me no more
Said I don't want trouble to find me no more
I don't want trouble to find me no more
No more, no more, no more, no moreNo more, no more, no more, no more
