Trouble Trouble Lyrics

Aesop Rock
The lyrics from “Trouble Trouble” by Aesop Rock x Blockhead make use of a very strange story about mountain climbing in order to reflect on struggle, frustration, failure and problem-solving rather than overcoming problems in life. The fictional “Trouble Mountain” just keeps growing taller as it is used as a metaphor for obstacles which never seem to have any kind of end. Aesop Rock employs unconventional imagery and wordplay along with humorous and surreal situations to depict the notion of persistence and the pressure of pursuing one’s goals. The song itself gradually evolves from attempts to get to the top to the realization that progress might be more important than any supposed mountain peak.

Trouble Trouble Song Lyrics

Down at Trouble Mountain
Feeling basic as a naked person in a public fountain
Figured I should summit in search of a source of power
But it doesn't ever cometh, there's just more mountain
The fit is all that and a chalk bag for traction
Tell trouble here comes trouble with a passion
Yeah, it's not a threat, it's rot encoded in the helix
From exposure to the trouble that nobody know but Jesus
And trouble loves trouble, the mountain should up and greet us
Like an equal, I might just be the keys to the bеhemoth
I might just tumble down and break my bonеs up into powder
After reaching for a zenith we don't even know is out there
Forty days draped in the cumbersome
Whatcha call a mountain that go up and up and up and up? Troublesome
You'd think it's gotta level out eventually
I wrote some shit to yell off of the mezzanine
I's gon' be like

On this day, at this time
Trouble Mountain yields to a troubled mankind
Henceforth, let it be established
Something something something, anyway it never happened
I'm trouble
(Double trouble)
I'm trouble on trouble
(You are nothing but trouble)

Back at Trouble Mountain
With a trillion carabiners, the compulsion is astounding
I'm pushing for the peak, it's one of my dozen labors
A take on the troublemaker up the down escalator
Dummy doused in the vapor, I'm getting passed by a goat
He on that casual Friday, I'm on that rapture enrobed
I'm on that trapped in a loop, black clouds tryin' to cuddle
Had to pound my chest, that sounds like trouble
I wish a Saint Bernard would bring me cocoa
Baked brie with honey and roasted mushroom risotto
I don't know what exactly I was venturing to prove
I get something in my head and feel compelled to see it through at any cost
Pace yourself, don't play yourself
Trouble in paradise, parrying the conveyor belt
It makes an ETA almost impossible to predict
Which gives me time to polish up the edict
I's gon' be like

On this day, at this time
Trouble Mountain yields to a troubled mankind
Henceforth let it be decreed
Yadda yadda yadda, anyway, it's still a dream
I'm trouble
(Double trouble)
I'm trouble on trouble
(You have caused so much trouble)

Back at shmubble shmountain
It's becoming clear I may not get to make my dumb announcement
Even with the muscle, the puzzle has him surrounded
I'm in trouble, maybe trouble isn't meant to be surmounted
Trouble is not a mountain, it's a bout of misfortune
Or when the morals you value are forced to bow to a chorus
Or when your headquarters turns into a house of horrors
'Cause your boring kid discovers power chords and distortion
These aren't things you can war with and subsequently be done
They get absorbed in the sponge that we cut the rest of you from
You bore a tunnel through the trouble, that's informative stuff
It's moving forward instead of assuming forward is up
Had to bail the whole altitude sickness business
And frame it in a way that make my failure sound frivolous
I kinda miss the falling rocks
I had a thing I planned to front was off the top
I's gon' be like

On this day, at this time
Trouble Mountain yields to a troubled mankind
Hence forth let it be settled
Blah blah blah, anyway, at sea level
I'm trouble
(Double trouble)
I'm trouble on trouble
(You are trouble)
