[Intro: R. Kelly]
Hey, I got a question for the ladies out there
Yeah, cause there's a few things that I would like to know
Before I fuck with you
[Hook: R. Kelly]
Oh, baby could you learn
Could you learn to love a trouble man?
Oh, baby could you learn
Could you learn to love a trouble man?
[Verse 1: T.I.]
You sure you wanna roll with me? I'm a complicated man
Live my life close to the edge, it ain't near safe to stand
I'm Trouble Man, always into something
Numb to the consequences, guess it's coming if it's coming
But so much shit they say that I can't do because I'm famous
Guess I should live in a bubble like these other entertainers
The danger's so enticing to me, I don't even notice it
Guess I get away or get arrested before it's over with
Prison sentenced every year, got everybody after me
Reaper on my heels, I'm just praying he don't catch a G
Imagine me and you, somewhere happy with a few hundred mills
Sill I could go to jail for some years
Cause I push it to the limit, the danger's so exciting
I'm loving every minute, girl this life ain't nothing like it
And you only live once so as long as I'm alive
I'll be living on the edge
Shawty, sure you wanna ride?
[Hook: R. Kelly]
Oh, baby could you learn
Could you learn to love a troubled man?
Oh, baby could you learn
Could you learn to love a troubled man?
[Verse 2: T.I.]
Yeah, hey, hey and they say if the drugs ain't the death of me
The lifestyle will be!
Law keep arresting me, sucker wanna kill me
Still we're in the fast lane, grind break, next speed
A million dollar sports car, smoking on the best weed
Fist fights in night clubs for rap beefs
Shootings, retaliations, yeah, it's that deed!
I guess they just got to catch me when they catch me
Cause I'm putting it in they life if they attempt to disrespect me
Especially since I know they say what go around come around
That's why when we go around I keep a gun around
The bullshit, there be none around here
But I got a secret though, I wanna change, I swear!
But suckers won't let me and feds still sweat me
So I'm looking for the worst to have you praying for the best
Think you can help me if they get me?
Could you handle shit for me?
Think about it!
Is your body shorty, answer this for me
[Hook: R.Kelly]
Oh, baby (exactly)
Could you learn?
(Think you could learn to love a nigga like me?)
Could you learn to love a troubled man
(I know what I need) yeah! (and it's worth it, you know)
Yeah, yeah, baby could you love?
(Just think about it for a second)
Could you learn to love a troubled man, yeah?
(I mean could you find me near?)
I deserve you!
Girl, would you give me a number?
If I had an OK car, not much money
9 to 5 with a future on me, oh
Tell me, would you ever fuck with a brother like me?
(If I did time in my life, time, time in my life
Time, time in my life)
Tell me, would you give your sex to me?
I really want to know
(If I was fighting in the club, fighting in the club
Fight, fighting in the club, fighting in the club)
Hey lady,could you learn
Learn to love a troubled man?
[Outro: T.I]
Hey, hey, hey baby
Could you learn (tell me could you learn?)
Could you learn to love a troubled man?
(I mean if you knew he was really
Really a good-hearted person, man
Do you think you could put up the bullshit to the outside, man?
I mean if you saw the good qualities within, man
Could you, could you ignore all the bullshit that they are saying?
I'm a product of my environment
I can only act as good as life allows me to act
You know what I'm saying so
What I need is a good influence like you
You know what I'm saying?
Think you can find me, Lord?
