Troubles

## Single by Denzel Curry featuring T-Pain

"**Troubles**" is a song by Denzel Curry featuring T-Pain, released as the third single and seventh track from his fifth studio album, *Melt My Eyez, See Your Future* (2022).

In a press statement, Curry said, "'Troubles,' like most people, is happy on the surface. We all go through problems on the daily no matter what level in life you’re at. The common thing we tend to do is try to numb or distract ourselves with different vices. This song is hopefully for some the light at the end of the tunnel to show that even though these problems are now, it’s temporary so we gotta face them head on if we want to make it out."

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro: T-Pain]

Boop, boop (Woah, Kenny)

Ooh

[Chorus: Denzel Curry, *T-Pain*]

Got some troubles that these drugs can't fix (*Can't fix*)

We must struggle because life's a bitch (Haha)

Think you happy when your ass get rich (*Get rich*)

Blow my money 'cause a bag ain't shit (*Ooh*)

Got some troubles that these drugs can't fix (Hell nah)

We must struggle because life's a bitch (Nah, bitch)

Think you happy when your ass get rich (Get that money)

Blow my money 'cause a bag ain't shit

[Verse 1: Denzel Curry]

I just lost my house to the drought, ayy (Damn)

Now I'm stayin' on my momma couch, ayy (Damn)

Told me get a job or to bounce, ayy (Bounce)

Never paid a bill, I cop a ounce, ayy (Ounce)

I could spend a twenty on a dub (Ayy)

But I can't even spend it on some shit I really love (For real)

I need some TLC but bitches treat me like a scrub (Scrub)

I gotta drive my momma car to pull up to the club (Club)

[Refrain: Denzel Curry, *T-Pain*]

Ain't nothin' left to do but now a n\*\*\*a gotta hustle (Hell nah)

I got it out the mud and then I did it off the muscle (Ayy, that's tough)

Maneuver through the game, I put my n\*\*\*as in the huddle

Now we all just runnin' routes, some fittin' pieces to the puzzle

My n\*\*\*a, ayy (*Ah*)

[Verse 2: T-Pain]

Got some problems that the music can't fix (Can't fix)

Whole squad, everybody on my dick (Get off my dick)

More money, more problems, and we lit (They lit)

All my exes textin', sayin' I ain't, uh, shit (Shit)

She said, "Get the bag, go and free yourself" ('Self)

Pretty bitches sayin' I need to be myself ('Self)

When I was down bad and I needed help (Help)

Passin' by me on the street, you should've seen yourself (Uh)

Yeah, how did you not remember how it was then? (Then, then)

Now all the sudden, I got new cousins (Kin, kin)

Hollering up on my gate, tryna get buzzed in, huh (Hm, hm)

If you don't give a damn, I don't give a fuck

I can't swim, I got a pool and I'ma drown in it (Drown in it)

Drunk under water, they goin' clown fishin' (Clown fishin')

I be on my own, don't be announcin' shit (Woah)

The chopper make beautiful music, play around with it

[Refrain: Denzel Curry, *T-Pain*]

Ain't nothin' left to do but now a n\*\*\*a gotta hustle (Hell nah)

I got it out the mud and then I did it off the muscle (That's tough, *yeah*)

Maneuver through the game, I put my n\*\*\*as in the huddle (*Yeah*)

Now we all just runnin' routes, some fittin' pieces to the puzzle

My n\*\*\*a, ayy

[Chorus: Denzel Curry, *T-Pain*]

Got some troubles that these drugs can't fix (*Can't fix*)

We must struggle because life's a bitch (*Uh, uh*)

Think you happy when your ass get rich (*Get rich*)

Blow my money 'cause a bag ain't shit (*Ooh*)

Got some troubles that these drugs can't fix (Hell nah)

We must struggle because life's a bitch (Nah, bitch)

Think you happy when your ass get rich (Get that money)

Blow my money 'cause a bag ain't (Shit)

[Outro: Denzel Curry]

Bitch, I'm high

Ayy, bitch (Shit)

Uh, ayy-ayy

Shit
