Trouble

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)

I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)

I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)

I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)

When the singer Rob calls the police on me y'all niggaz ran out and copped the CD

see what I discovered is y'all snitch lovers I might speak, but I don't fuck with nobody

see What Doug, Jimmy & L.A. don't know, these youngins crossed the line with Hov, I'm letting it blow

had the papers writing stories like: "didn't they know, this what happen when they made that rapper CEO"

I know, its just a matter of time before the steady hate start to overflow then the leavey breaks

and my conscience go, you escape the rico, why throw everything away over ego?

you paper chasing, they paper hating, billionare Hov you on the pace to make it

fuck that exclamation comma quotations I love drama period

I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)

I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)

I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)

I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)

smelling like Petrone singing dirty rap songs, tip-toeing in the crib like 6 in the morn

every day its the same I said in blueprint that I'd never change its just a part of the game

respect me I'm a thug, I might cool out for a sec but expect me to bug its in my blood

but if my chick leave me she gonna leave me for something, she gone leave me cuz Halie,

she ain't gonna leave me for nothing, picture me gettin up with something sleazy

something something so easy you could take out its beat like nothing something

soon as you finish cuttin you like leave me please, not me I need Angilina Jolize company,

so I ain't gonna make a move unless I got I got a plan b, that'll happen the day i have a baby by free,

not to say that anything is wrong with free, just to say that ain't nothing wrong with me

If my hands in the cookie jar, know one thing, ima take the cookie not leave my ring

if my hands in the cookie jar know one thing ima take (laughs) y'all know what I mean

I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)

I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)

I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)

I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)

unh, you little niggaz ain't deep you dumb, you niggaz ain't gangsta you gum, I chew little niggaz

hock-too, spew little niggaz, I can only view little niggaz like little niggaz

but in lieu of little niggaz trying to play that boy, I phew phew little niggaz with the latest toy

unlike you little nigga, I'm a grown ass man, big shoes to fill nigga, grown ass pants

prolly hustled with your pops, go ask your parents its apparent you're staring at a legend

who, put a few little niggaz in the they place before trying to eat without saying they grace before

blasphemous bastard get your faith restored you're viewing your version of the lord god

mc little nigga, applaud, or forever burn in the fire that I spit at y'all I rebuke you little nigga

the meek shall parish, ill roof you little nigga, Im a project terrorist, cute you little niggaz

think you in my class subsitute little niggaz soon feel my wrath, I mute you little niggaz

you a little nigga, I shall abuse you little nigga, I'm a ill nigga, now shoot you little niggaz

go somewhere and play, cuz the day I loose to you little niggaz, no day

I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)

I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)

I try to pretend that I'm different but in the end we're all the same (all the same)

I pray to god, father forgive a nigga I'm never gonna change (gonna change)
