Trouble Won't Last [interlude] Lyrics - Carl Thomas

But I'm sayin' 

Here I am, say lying and praying 

That I'm laying something hot 

'Cause baby, it's cold outside 

And even when it's not, it still is 

Baby shorties ask me what the deal is 

Not listenin' to they mom and them 

'Cause they all know what they talkin' 'bout, like Willis 

I say what shorty desire, be what real is 

And when I first came to her 

I was still wet behind the ears 

So I was just the lame to her 

I heard older cats lay claim to her 

And say they speak game to her 

But they never put a name to her 

So I called her desire 

Like so many street cars that I did for 

For her promises, little brothers, there bids for 

And little sisters sacrifice they head for 

Even street-wise vets wind up dead for 

See she will attempt to straight pimp you 

You'll scream "Fuck the world" 

But soon go them too 

She proclaim that my esteem was way off the rack 

I had style but it was the Caddy I lack 

The gangsta white walls and the diamond in the back 

I asked her was she white or black 

She said neither one, or somewhere in between 

Plus she was mean and had been seen 

In places where cats got big faces 

Has made some trade in freestyles for freebases 

I knew that my best friend was meddling 

But I continued peddling 

But I got arrested before I got rich 

Trying to make some scratch 

Like trigger fingers that itch 

She told me she call me an ambulance 

If I ever called her a bitch 

(I'm so glad) 

Alright, I tried to be online 

(Trouble don't last) 

But the matrix had a major glitch 

(Always) 

She said my style could never switch 

I was her nigger for life 

(Always) 

She said her peeps 

Probably couldn't pronounce Malik Yusef 

But they could pronounce us man and wife 

(I'm so glad) 

So the script I attempted to flip, flop 

(Trouble don't last) 

Flip floppin' to backwards, know 

(Always)
