If Trouble Was Money

If trouble was money, baby, I would be a millionaire
If words was dollars, I could buy the world and have money to spend
But if there's any one thing, don't waste another
Right now I'm so poor that I just don't care

I tried too hard to make it, people, sometimes I just can't get ahead
Looks like everything goes wrong, people, I remember what my mother she said
"Every time I get my hand on a dollar
Seems like the man wanna hit me up for my bread"

I know my life has been bad, it's been bad all of my life
I know my life has been bad, looks like it's been bad all of my life
Seems like I get the third degree
All the way from my enemies an 'right down to my wife
