Trouble
[Hook]:
I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to do you wrong
I never meant to cause you trouble
Oh no, I never meant to do you wrong
[Verse 1]:
I wonder if you'll hear this
A Wonder Woman fearless, a wonderful appearance
But I remember looking in your cold eyes
Yeah, I'm just trying pick the knots of these soul ties
Just tryna pick the locks of this trap door
I'm trapped more by the memories
So why I bring em back for
Tryna find my words, man, I knew that this was over 'fore it started
See, I was full of scarlet
No, I won't call you Scarlett
'Cause black widows will leave you dead
While they walking through your blood
Like, like it's red carpet, broken-hearted starlets
And all those plane tickets and promise rings
When we ain't know what promise means
I tried to push it but the Spirit said otherwise
And I just shrugged it off as butterflies
Remember leaving you that voicemail saying I was engaged
I knew that was the last one
I tried to pull that fast one, I regret it everyday
Just hoping you forgive me
[Hook]:
I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to do you wrong
I never meant to cause you trouble
Oh no, I never meant to do you wrong
[Verse 2]:
Yo, back from summer camp on some God saved me
Like, look what God gave me, this new life
So let me just cook it up in pies and throw it in they faces
I'm clowning on my high horse with judgmental statements
Almost like my newfound life had bearing on performance
Like it gives me rights to be everyone's concordance
My ego was enormous
I thought that I was helping
And all them Scripture verses came with motives that were selfish
And I'm just now confessing in a song no less
I'm just now addressing this, I caused a rift
Between friends old and new
It's me telling you that I'm an older new
And I'm looking with this sober view
And really I'm no better
I wish I had discipleship, I killed you with the letter
Self-righteousness had my chest puffed
Just a rook in my chess club, and got my flesh smug
So thanks to those who long-suffered
I can say we all suffered, yeah
[Hook]:
I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to do you wrong
I never meant to cause you trouble
Oh no, I never meant to do you wrong
[Verse 3]:
They like, "Man, you so difficult."
I see you with your fishing pole, but what you fishing for
Everything good, why you asking all these questions
Leave well enough alone, let's just focus on the blessings
Your opinions cause rebellion and division
You online blasting, we already know we sinners
So what's the point of all those Paul Washer clips and prayer services
You need to humble down, let's just focus on the good
Man, I'm sorry I agree, but you know how zealous I am
Feel like God told me, "Tell 'em how jealous I am."
I'm really trying to bring balance to my convictions
Man, my hands to the plow, and I'm treating all these blisters
With that balm of Gilead we both know
That boldness that we claim to have we really don't show
I never meant to be the bad news bearer
Man, I'm tryna elevate the Good News in this bad news era
I hope you see my efforts, yeah
[Hook]:
I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to do you wrong
I never meant to cause you trouble
Oh no, I never meant to do you wrong
