Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born smarter than most into this world of disarray
I was told to listen to all the dumb shit people say
But I dug wisdom from my own well and I never had a moment of doubt
I worded a thesis at six years old that had the world all figured out, it goes
[Chorus]
Women, men
That's two kinds of trouble
Enemies, friends
Just two kinds of trouble
[Verse 2]
I never walked a single step in nobody else's shoes
And I never really talked to people 'cause that's time you can't afford to lose
Every word somebody spoke was the dumbest I ever heard
I'll keep stickin' to what I know and tell the truth about the world, it goes
[Chorus]
Cops, police
Just two kinds of trouble
Robbers, thieves
Two kinds of trouble
Boats, planes
Just two kinds of trouble
Norwegians and Danes, yeah
Just two kinds of trouble
[PostChorus]
That's two kinds of trouble
That's two kinds of trouble
That's two kinds of trouble
Just two kinds of trouble
[Bridge]
Some say philosophy, I say great if you're unsure
Just a bunch of circular reasoning bordering on the obscure
Others merely scratch the surface, I can really penetrate
I'll serve up a stew so simple and pure, no room for debate, 'cause I know
[Instrumental]
Two kinds of trouble
Just two kinds of trouble
[Chorus]
Work, play
Two kinds of trouble
Night, day
Two kinds of trouble
One thing, another thing
Just two kinds of trouble
Anything and everything
Two kinds of trouble
