[Part 1] I was entombed in the belly of the shadow of death Joker on my right hand, coward on my left Doin a dance with the devil in the pale moonlight Hoping everythingll be alright Trouble come easy, trouble come sweet Trouble catch yo ass 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 aint 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 hes trouble My mama held me in her arms said Im trouble Folks singin in church say Im 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 thatll 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 cant buy me and lies aint cheap One day I pray I find the truth cause like they say itll 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 aint got a degree Learned just enough to know a cynics heart is never sleep But maybe somewhere its inside us all Too scared to look for fear that we might fall See me coming in the game to give em trouble Aint 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]
trouble, fortune, penitence, well, entombed
