Feels Like Rain (Silvertine 41498) 
I come up hard baby, but now I'm cool 
I didn't make it sugar, playin' by the rules 
I come up hard baby, but now I'm fine 
I'm checkin' trouble sugar, movin' down the line 
I come up hard baby, but that's okay 
'Cause trouble man, don't get in my way 
I come up hard baby, I've been for real 
Gonna keep movin', gonna go to town 
I come up hard baby, I'm gettin' down 
There's only three things that for sure 
Taxes, death and trouble 
This I know, baby 
This I know, sugar 
Girl, I ain't gon' let it sweat me, baby 
Got me singin' 
Yeah , yeah, whoa 
I come up hard, I've had to fight 
Take care of my business, With all my might 
I come up hard, I had to win 
Then start all over, and win again 
I come up hard, but that's okay 
'Cause trouble man 
Don't get in my way 
I know some places and I've seen some faces 
I've got good connections they dig in my directions 
What people say that's okay 
They don't bother me Whoo 
Ready to make it, don't fool with no women 
Don't care 'bout no trouble got myself together 
I feel a kind of protection is all around me 
This I know baby 
Girl, I ain't gonna let it sweat me, baby 
I come up hard, but now I'm cool 
I didn't make it sugar, playin' by the rules 
I come up hard baby, but now I'm fine 
I'm checkin' trouble sugar 
Movin' down the line
