This beat 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
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
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
'cause we just can't hide
tinted windows don't mean nothing
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
It's tricky tricky tricky
Huh!
When I wake up people take up mostly all of my time
I'm not singing
phone keep ringing
'cause I make up a rhyme
I'm not bragging
people nagging
'cause they think I'm a star
always tearing what I'm wearing
think they're going too far
A girl named Carol follows Darryl every gig we play
then D dis her and dismiss her now she jocking Jay
I ain't lying
girls be crying
'cause I'm on T V
They even bother my poor father
'cause 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 It's tricky tricky
We are not thugs
we don't use drugs
but you assume on your own
they offer and lots of but we just leave it alone
it's like that ya'll y'all
but we don't quit
you keep on
rock shock
'cause this is it
