This speech is my recital,
I think it's very vital
To rock a rhyme,
that's right on time
It's Tricky is the title,
here we go...
It's Tricky to rock a
rhyme, to rock a rhyme
that's right on time
It's Tricky... it's Tricky,
Tricky, Tricky, Tricky
It's Tricky to rock a
rhyme, to rock a rhyme
that's right on time
It's Tricky...
Tricky, Tricky
I met this little girlie,
her hair was kinda curly
Went to her house and
bust her out, I had to
leave real early
These girls are really
sleazy, all they just say
is please me
Or spend some time
and rock a rhyme, I said
It's not that easy
It's Tricky to rock a
rhyme, to rock a rhyme
that's right on time
It's Tricky... it's Tricky,
Tricky, Tricky, Tricky
It's Tricky to rock a
rhyme, to rock a rhyme
that's right on time
It's Tricky... Tricky,
Tricky, Tricky, Tricky
In New York the
people talk and try to
make us rhyme
They really hawk
but we just walk
because we have
no time
And in the city it's a
pity cos we just
can't hide
Tinted windows don't
mean nothin', they
know who's inside
It's Tricky to rock a
rhyme, to rock a rhyme
that's right on time
It's Tricky... it's Tricky,
Tricky, Tricky, Tricky
It's Tricky to rock a
rhyme, to rock a rhyme
that's right on time
It's Tricky... Tricky,
Tricky, Tricky, Tricky
When I wake up
people take up mostly
all of my time
I'm not singin',
phone keep ringin'
cos I make up a rhyme
I'm not braggin',
people naggin' cos
they think I'm a star
Always tearin' what
I'm wearin', I think
they're goin' too far
A girl named Carol
follows Daryll every
gig we play
Then D dissed her
and dismissed her,
now she's jockin' Jay
I ain't lyin', girls
be cryin' cos I'm on TV
They even bother my
poor father cos he's
down with me
It's Tricky to rock a
rhyme, to rock a rhyme
that's right on time
It's Tricky... it's Tricky,
Tricky, Tricky, Tricky
It's Tricky to rock a
rhyme, to rock a rhyme
that's right on time
It's Tricky...
Tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tricky
We are not thugs
we don't use drugs but
you assume on your own
They offer coke and
lots of dope but we
just leave it alone
It's like that y'all
y'all, but we don't quit
You keep on rock!
shock! Cos this is it...
