[Intro]
I don’t want no trouble
Trouble always seem to find me
I don’t want no problems
But the world want problems with me
[Verse One]
In the land of the have nots
Since way back in the sand lot
You could tell who was pampered and who’s sandwich had spam chunks
Imprinted in how they walk, scoff loudly and down talk
Who ever told you that high school stops now is a scam artist
My aunt taught me that landlords will get cash hungry
Kick your ass out to the curb glad for that fast money
Gentrification rule everything that cash doesn’t
So like California fires I see my house coming
& ain’t a god damn thing I can to do about it
The homeless in the city, we just move around ‘em
My victim mentality let me lose compassion
While the unit asking prices read like the new Manhattan
Knowing I’m just three bad months
From being one of these people that you just see as bums
& treat the mentally ill like they diseased, but ain’t diseased enough
Quarantined but shouldn’t need that crutch, heh
I can’t believe
I spend my money on streams
While Knowing someone in my country running water ain’t clean
That’s thirsty
Conditioned to think differences can hurt me
By a system who’s fundamental objective is to work me
[Chorus]
I don’t want no trouble
Trouble always seem to find me
I don’t want no problems
But the world want problems with me
But I’m not the bad guy
I’m not the bad guy
We having bad times
These are some bad times
But I'm not the bad guy
[Bridge]
If you worried bout your rent
Put your hands up high
Hands up high
Hands up high
If you worried bout your rent
Put your hands up high
Hands up high
[Verse Two]
We private citizens
Living for giant businesses
Trading they time for benefits
End up just dying penniless
Bankrupt your fam, strain your entire lineage
Middle finger to anyone designing these condominiums
Hiking the price of rent while they ship us out on a city bus
City limits themselves is tryna limit us
‘Sky is the limit’ is the lie of the system, plus
You look ridiculous saying it’s fine, it’s really fucked
[Bridge]
We having bad times
These are some bad times, bad times, bad times
We having bad times
These are some bad times, bad times, bad times
[Chorus]
I don’t want no trouble [I don’t want it]
Trouble always seem to find me [always finding me]
I don’t want no problems
But the world want problems with me [always seem to find me]
But I’m not the bad guy
I’m not the bad guy
We having bad times
These are some bad times
But I'm not the bad guy
I’m not the bad guy
Bad guy
