[Intro]

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...Tr-tr-tr-tricky (Tricky) Trrrrrrrrrrricky

[Verse 1]


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...(How is it D?) It's Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Trrrrrricky)
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time

It's Tricky...Tricky (Tricky) Tricky

[Verse 2]


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...(How is it D?) 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) huh!

[Verse 3]


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...(How is it?) 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 (Tr-Tr-Tr-Tricky) Tr-tr-tr...


[Verse 4]

We are not thugs (we don't use drugs) but you $$#ume (on your own)

They offer !@%!e (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...
