It's Tricky

Lyrics

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, tricky
 I met this little girlie, her hair was kind of 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 (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 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
 ♪
 When I wake up, people take up mostly all of my time
 I'm not singin', phone keep ringin' 'cause I make up a rhyme
 I'm not braggin', people naggin' 'cause they think I'm a star
 Always tearin' what I'm wearin', I think they're goin' too far
 A girl named Carol follows Darryl every gig we play
 Then D dissed her and dismissed her, now she's jockin' Jay
 I ain't lyin', girls be cryin' 'cause I'm on TV
 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 (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-tricky, tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tr
 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 'cause this is it
