Amina Shareef Ali feat. Brian Belknap, Mr. Andrew & Nisan Perera -
In the Dark (Awake of Course), Vol. 1
The Trouble
Shred of doubt like a splinter, pricking underneath your skin
No easy way to draw it out, but I think you know how it got in
You can try to ignore it, but I'll tell you what I wish I knew
Either you go to the trouble, else the trouble come to you
Cutting word from a close mate, and now you wanna draw blood too
It's easier to return fire than to ask them to dress your wound
You keep wishing for a harder heart, eventually, it'll come true
Either you go to the trouble, else the trouble come to you
As an entertainer, trouble ain't the best
With the corridors of cobwebs, and the cupboards filled with ghosts
But I think you'd rather be trouble's guest
Than have to play the host
Hour after hour, listen to trouble hold court
Tell you stories you can barely believe
But when at last you tire of that sport
Good luck getting him to leave
Once I had a love affair like a good book, never wanted it to end
But if I didn't let my lover go, I'd've never met my best friend
You gotta prune what's wilted if you wanna see a bloom
Either you go to the trouble, else the trouble come to you
Sometimes you're gonna get burned, it's gonna scratch and itch and peel
You don't owe no one understanding, but baby boo, I wanna see you heal
They're as different as sea and sky, though each is just as blue
Either you go to the trouble, else the trouble come to you
Got all the pieces of the puzzle, now if you'd only get a clue
Either you go to the trouble, else the trouble come
The trouble come
The trouble come to you
No easy way to draw it out, but I think you know how it got in
You can try to ignore it, but I'll tell you what I wish I knew
Either you go to the trouble, else the trouble come to you
Cutting word from a close mate, and now you wanna draw blood too
It's easier to return fire than to ask them to dress your wound
You keep wishing for a harder heart, eventually, it'll come true
Either you go to the trouble, else the trouble come to you
As an entertainer, trouble ain't the best
With the corridors of cobwebs, and the cupboards filled with ghosts
But I think you'd rather be trouble's guest
Than have to play the host
Hour after hour, listen to trouble hold court
Tell you stories you can barely believe
But when at last you tire of that sport
Good luck getting him to leave
Once I had a love affair like a good book, never wanted it to end
But if I didn't let my lover go, I'd've never met my best friend
You gotta prune what's wilted if you wanna see a bloom
Either you go to the trouble, else the trouble come to you
Sometimes you're gonna get burned, it's gonna scratch and itch and peel
You don't owe no one understanding, but baby boo, I wanna see you heal
They're as different as sea and sky, though each is just as blue
Either you go to the trouble, else the trouble come to you
Got all the pieces of the puzzle, now if you'd only get a clue
Either you go to the trouble, else the trouble come
The trouble come
The trouble come to you
