This is not a good sign,
You say you're losing your mind,
People say it's no exaggeration,
Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?
Or was it something from a gray spot in your head?
I want a cheese and mushroom omelet,
I want a microwave oven,
I want to leave a tip after every meal,
Does that make me a bad person?
What's behind the smile?
What's behind the eyes?
Something sorry if anything at all,
The counter is sticky,
This all seems tricky,
To get out of a bogus situation
I want to stay up all night,
I want to sleep with the light,
I want those dishes to be out of here,

Your name
Tricky and Ambersunshower:
If you like-a-me,
like I like-a-you
And we like-a-both the same,
I like-a say,
this very day,
I like-a-change your name.
'Cause I love-a-you
and love-a-you true
And if you-a love-a-me.
One live as two,
two live as one
Under the mango tree
If you like-a-me,
like I like-a-you
And we like-a-both the same,
I like-a say,
this very day,
I like-a-change your name.
'Cause I love-a-you
and love-a-you true
And if you-a love-a-me.
One live as two,
two live as one
Under the mango tree

Don't hold me, don't fuck with me.
Just do it.
[bjork babble] ooooh.
[bjork babble] ooooh.
[bjork babble]
Don't hold me down, don't fuck with me.
I can want it.
[bjork babble] ooooh.
(x2)
(beautiful bjork babble)
Oooooh.
Just do it, don't fuck with me.
Don't hold me down, I'm jumping.

You know how we like it
You know how we do
[???] crews are comin' through
I don't sell records, I sell guns...

Costanza Francavilla:
What is wrong with us
All we do is fight
Get out of my view
I€™m not feeling right
I€™m not feeling good
I don€™t think I should
Something€™s standing in your view
I€™m standing next to you
You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean
You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean
What is good for you
Doesn€™t mean too much
What you think is true
I can€™t feel or touch
I can€™t feel or touch
I don€™t feel that much
What is wrong with you
You€™re standing in my view
You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean
You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean
What is wrong with you
All you do is fight
Get out of my view
I€™m not feeling right
I€™m not feeling good
I don€™t think I should
Something€™s standing in your view
I€™m standing next to you
You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean
You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean
You and me
(repeated)

Tricky:
Wash my soul, wash my soul, wash my soul
Tricky and Bob Khaleel:
I get paid while they starve
In the streets
Visa cards, VIP
Wash away and use you as a fan
Starving these children
And i change the channel
You know me, i'm Mr.Nice
You know me I survive at any price
So it seems i'm the devil's son
Lick it, wet it, you like it, you let it
Lick it, wet it, touch it, take your turn
On somedays, together we can learn
Wash my soul, wash my soul, wash my soul
Lick it, wet it, you like it, you let it
Lick it, wet it, touch it, take your turn
On somedays, together we can learn
I've served with gangsters
And I've served with kings
These are a few of my favorite things
Think about love, love now and then
It's no good
I am weak, I admit
Wash my soul
Lick it, wet it, you like it, you let it
Lick it, wet it, touch it, take your turn
On somedays, together we can learn
Wash my soul, wash my soul
Lick it, wet it, you like it, you let it
Lick it, wet it, you like it, take your turn
Take your turn, take your turn
Together we can learn

Cover [colour] me, cover [colour] me.
When you're sitting all alone in the middle of the floor,
There's something uncontrollable,
You sit there watching the door,
Cover me, cover me.
Already feel ill,
Tattoo you're bad side
Slap your thigh,
Slap your calf
Sing your mantra,
Leave your walk,
Cover me, cover me.
Something fits along my spine,
Just givin' lovin' from behind,
Fortify my arms (x2)
Cover me, cover me.

Well, I'm sittin' on my lunch break, grinnin' my teeth
It's the last day of the week, boy, what a relief
My muscle's kind of ache, they felt rigid and stuff
So I turned around, and I smoked this big fat spliff
Now I'm happy as can be, I'm in this pothead spell
I put some eye drops in my eyes so that no one can tell
Now it's five forty five almost time for the bell
I'm back on the job, I don't bother no one
I keep strictly to till my job is done
Now it's five forty five it's time to have fun
I'm hangin' out with a rapper, a kid named Don
We got more drunk than a skunk and happy as can be
We went, to the Latin quarters and we got in free
Scoopin' all the girls with my fly jewelry
'Cause I'm a fly brown brother and you can't school me
Boogie down was performin', hey they ain't no joke
And a bunch of Brooklyn kids was lookin' all up my throat
Was it my big chains with the big plates on 'em?
Then they rolled on me and told me to run 'em
This was the moment I feared
"Yo take off your chains"
This was the moment I feared
"You need to take those chains off"
I said, "They're really not real
They're just a front for the girls"
Then a whole bunch of fists just caved my world
I was in pain, so ashamed, I wish I never came
Had to pick up my face and go home on the train
Then I went to my apartment and brought me a fort
Then I went to the park, and I sat and I thought
I seen Danny boy blue with his girl named Sarah
In one of their cars, I think it was a Valera
She called out to me, but I really didn't hear her
So I went a little closer so I could hear a little clearer
She said "You know where, Tilden"
I said, "I know where that is, just next to my building"
I gave 'em the information and then I went on my way
Then I went home, and slept till two the next day
There was a knock on my door, I opened it, no quit
It was Sarah standing there with a bag named Kit
She starts to use me and abuse me and at first I wasn't with it
Then we did it and we did it and we did it
She said it was great, she said she's glad we had done it
The elevator come and Danny boy was on it
This was the moment I feared
This was the moment I feared
Well he was huffin' and puffin' and he swung at me word
So I pulled out my jam and sauced the nerd
Then he was dead two in the head I took the cash and the Visa's
She said, "Everything's all right, just make sure nobody sees us"
Now I was rich as I was rich, I could have whatever would please me
Now I could wear real gold in front of folks who don't tease me
Yah, I'll be a new neighborhood dad
Cats'll roll up on me like, "Trick's my man!"
Ya see a policeman rolled up on me and told me, "Make my day"
I said "Relax brother", but he had proof that I had done it
He found the gun with my fingerprints on it
But now I'm in prison doin' life and I'm scared
Some kid knocked me cold and greased me where no one dared
This was the moment I feared
"Now bend over!"
This was the moment I feared
"Take your trowsers down, and bend over!"
Now I'm doin' life and I'm scared
A kid knocked me cold and greased me where no one dared
The moment I feared

I feel you changing me, changing me
I can see a changing me
I can see a changing me
Changing me
I wanna take my clothes off
Tear my mouth and nose off
And take out my eyes
Take out my eyes
I take my clothes off
Tear my mouth and nose off
Tear out my eyes
Tear out my eyes
Wanna walk on warm leaves
Hot sand cold breeze
Hot sun
I want my mum
Look mum
I'm on top of the world
World wide plaza
I got asthma
I wanna demonstrate hate
I wanna rattle
I wanna blow my head off in seattle
No way
No way check it
No way
I can see a change in me
And I change me
I, I, I,
I deserve to die because of lies
It's crazy lies
We have to die because of lies
Wanna take my clothes off
Tear my mouth and nose off
And take out my eyes

Someone talk to me now
Energy won't move me
Oceans won't sooth me
Cry me a bayou
Slime, sleaze pass through
You love it when I'm leaving
Angels with dirty faces disappear without traces
Them bones
Love it when I'm leaving
You love it when I'm leaving

Background vocals:
Time slippin'

Tricky double see trouble
And she knows I like girls
When all the lights go
I rather rob the mic though
Time slippin'
Time slippin'
Time slippin(repeat till end)

Something in the way
( Nirvana Cover )
Hawkman :
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And all the animals i have trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off the grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way
Something in the way
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And all the animals i've trapped
Have all become my pets
And i'm living off the grass
And the drippings from my ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way
Something in the way
Something in the way
Something in the way

To the noose, to the neck, to the boost, to the check
To the micic, to the psychic, to the circuit
To the games pays to blame
To the freedom, make it rain, make it sane
Make it dance, not a chance, see her run
See her come, take her kindly
She is dark eyed, no soul, no soul
She is lifeline to the heartbeat
Can't feel the heartbeat
To the flowers, to the bunches,
To the lunches, to the punches
To the noose, to the neck, to the boost, to the check
To the micic, to the psychic, to the circuit
To the games pays to blame
To the freedom, make it rain, make it sane
Make it dance, not a chance, see her run
See her come, take her kindly
She is dark eyed, no soul, no soul
She is lifeline to the heartbeat
Can't feel the heartbeat
To the flowers, to the bunches,
To the lunches, to the punches
To the good, to the clean
And i'll be you're ugly
To the occasion, to the lie
Kiss beneath, bridge of size
Not some moaning, until they homing
And they spoil it all
To the noose, to the neck, to the boost, to the check
To the micic, to the psychic, to the circuit
To the games pays to blame
To the freedom, make it rain, make it sane
Make it dance, not a chance, see her run
See her come, take her kindly
She is dark eyed, no soul, no soul
She is lifeline to the heartbeat
Can't feel the heartbeat
To the flowers, to the bunches,
To the lunches, to the punches
To the good, to the clean
And i'll be you're ugly
To the occasion, to the lie
Kiss beneath, bridge of size
Not some moaning, until they homing
And they spoil it all
Not some moaning, until they homing
Not some moaning, until they homing
To the good, to the clean
And i'll be you're ugly
To the occasion, to the lie
Kiss beneath, bridge of size
Not some moaning, until they homing
Not some moaning, until they homing

She is lifeline to the heartbeat
Can't feel the heartbeat
To the flowers, to the bunches,

Martina :
You sure you want to be with me?
I've nothing to give.
Won't lie and say this loving's best
Leave us in emotional pace
Mmm, take a walk take a rest, a taste of rest
Don't wanna be on top of your list,
Monopoly improperly kissed
We overcome in sixty seconds with the strength we had together.
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed.
And when there's trust there'll be treats
When we funk we'll hear beats,
Karmacoma, karmacoma, Karmacoma ...
You and her walking through the suburbs
No, not exactly lovers
You're a couple, 'specially when you're body's double.
Duplicate and then you wait
For the next Kuwait.
Karmacoma, karmacoma, Karmacoma ...
Jamaica Aroma, Karmacoma.
You sure you want to be with me? I've nothing to give.
Won't lie and say this loving's best
Leave us in emotional peace
Mmm, take a walk take a rest, a taste of rest
Don't wanna be on top of your list,
Monopoly improperly kissed
We overcome in sixty seconds with the strength we had together.
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed.
And when there's trust there'll be treats
When we funk we'll hear beats,

"Well I see it so much..."
Before you test, know what's going on,
I've been around for long, my evil is strong
I lie awake and hate you,
maybe that's strong enough to make you
12 12 catch up
Before you test, know what's going on,
I've been around for long, my evil is strong
I lie awake and hate you,
Maybe that's strong enough to make something happen-
A car crash, make you pay with a weapon
A gun in your mouth, my voice in your mind.
Before you test, know what's going on,
I've been around for long, my evil is strong
I lie awake and hate you
Maybe that's enough to make you do something-
make it happen-
A car crash, make you pay with a weapon
A gun in your mouth, my voice in your mind.
Sleep and I'll find you,
Put my mind to
Am I strong enough?
Watch me rock a thousand stage
My funny valentine, I don't find you funny
Seaside, the Sony, the fame the money
Who am I to say, do you wannabe?
No, I can't say it
My mouth is like a...
Bitter sweet and twisted, decietful and gifted
Even got god scared
Mend the things we did
Making children
Strong enough to take a life,
Are you strong enough to take care of one?
I'm a work on it, pray on it, stay on (in) it and stay in it
Before you test, know what's going on,
I've been around for long, my evil is strong
I lie awake and hate you
Maybe that's enough to make something happen,
A car crash, make you pay with a weapon
A gun in your mouth, my voice in your mind
Sleep and I'll find you,
Put my mind to
Am I strong enough?
Watch me rock a 50,000 stage
cannot tell me-do you feel it?
Is this energy strong enough to work you like a blade?
I'm a work on it, pray on it, stay on it
My funny valentine, I don't find you funny
Seaside, the Sony
The fame, the money
Who am I to say, do you wannabe?
No, I can't say it
My mouth is like a...
Bitter sweet and twisted,
Decietful and gifted,
Even got god scared
Mend the things we do
Making children strong enough to take a life
Are you strong enough to look after one?
I'm a work on it, pray on it, stay in it
My funny valentine, I never find you funny
Seaside, the Sony,
The fame, the Money
Who am I to say?
Still want to be?
No, I can't say it
My mouth is like a...
Bitter sweet and twisted,
Decietful, rough and gifted,
Even got god scared
Even God's--God's scared
Mend the things we do
Making children strong enough to take a life,
But are you strong enough to take care of one?
I'm a work on it, pray on it, stay in it

She makes me wanna die
Follow where Mary goes
Cherish the things she knows
Says if I change my stride
Then I'll fly
She makes me wanna die
Change my stride
Then I'll fly
Look to the sun
See me in psychic pollution
Walking on the moon
How could you dare?
Who do you think you are?
You're insignificant
A small piece, an ism
No more no less
You try to learn the universe
Can't even converse in universe
You know it's ironic smoking hydroponic
She makes me wanna die
And change my stride
Then I'll fly
She makes me wanna die
Follow where Mary goes
Cherish the things she knows
Says if I change my stride
Then I'll fly
And change my stride
Then I'll fly
Look to the sun
See me in psychic pollution
Walking on the moon
How could you dare?
Who do you think you are?
You're insignificant
A small piece, an ism
No more no less
You try to learn the universe
Can't even converse in universe

I'm rated "R"...this is a warning, ya better void,
Poets are paranoid, DJ's destroyed,
'Cause I came back to attack others in spite-
Strike like lightnin', It's quite frightenin'
But don't be afraid in the dark, in a park,
Not a scream or a cry, or a bark, more like a spark;
Tremble like a alcoholic, muscles tighten up,
What's that, lighten up, you see a sight but,
Suddenly you feel like you're in a horror flick,
You grab your heart then wish for tomorrow quick.
Music's the clue, when I come your warned,
Apocolypse Now, when I'm done, ya gone.
Haven't you ever heard of a MC-murderer?
This is the death penalty,and I'm servin' a
Death wish, so come on, step to this
Hysterical idea for a lyrical professionist
Friday the thirteenth, walking down Elm Street,
You come in my realm ya get beat,
This is off limits, so your visions are blurry,
All ya see is the meters at a volume,
Pumping lyrics of fury
Terror in the styles, never error-files,
Indeed I'm known-your exiled!
For those that oppose to be level or next to this
I ain't a devil and this ain't the exorcist.
Worse than a nightmare, you don't have to sleep a wink,
The pain's a migraine every time ya think,
Flashbacks interfere, ya start to hear:
The R-A-K-I-M in your ear;
Then the beat is hysterical,
That makes Eric go get a ax and chops the wack,
Soon the lyrical format is superior,
Faces of death remain,
MC's decaying, 'cause they never stayed,
The scene of a crime every night at the show,
The fiend of a rhyme on the mic that you know,
It's only one capable, breaks-the unbreakable,
Melodies-unmakable, pattern-unecscapable,
A horn if want the style I posses,
I bless the child, the earth, the gods and bomb the rest,
For those that envy a MC it can be,
Hazardous to your health so be friendly,
A matter of life and death, just like a etch-a-sketch,
Shake 'till your clear, make it disappear, make the next,
After the ceremony, let the rhyme rest in peace,
If not, my soul'll release
The scene is recreated, reincarnated, updated, I'm glad you made it,
'Cause you're about to see a disasterous sight,
A performance never again performed on a mic:

We're the only ones here so speak your mind,
I feed your appetite, so you feed mind.
I sing for you, so you can find your way home.
There's nothing to fear but fear itself,
If you know how to look inside yourself.
I sing for you.
Forget all you learned from yesterday,
If you learn how to change, you'll change today.
I sing for you, so you can find your way home.
I pray for you.
And I breathe aside my impurities,
But I can't take your insecurities.
If you trust, then trust me now.
Can you trust?
Round and round together, round and round forever.
Pray for me, pray for me so I can find my way home.
Leave me now, so I can be alone.

Tricky:
Little blood clock
You could never test I
You come close
Just close my left eye
See with my third
The rest you never heard
Executive roosters
And pop producers

Fuck what you€™re used to

Round the corner
Turn the corner, turn
Hell is round the corner hot like a sauna
I know I hurt her when I tell her that I want her
And with this drama I act like Jeffrey Dahmer
I beat her then I eat her nigga's sweet
There's no one sweeter I think I lost my tweeter
To your pussycats do you call your pistols 'gats'?
Don't sleep her love away
Don't let her run away
Don't sleep her love away
Don't let her
Dream and I'm seein' it harmed a girl like Monica
Everyday be like Hanukkah and change my mind again
Hide off like to find a friend I call her 'Enemy'
She says I act like there's ten of me
A sketch for their clone a dog without a home
But you want more when I was on tour
Told her you should write a lot
Now look how much time you got
Told you, shouldn't run a lot
Now look how much time you got
Take life on the streets your own
Made by Grease beats pure dog
Running with the renegades of NY
Street Dog speak the true talk
Wanna talk about crime? Yeah right
Stick ups- get in mind to realize, alright
Run the airtime, fuck the police it's startin' to get hyped
Niggas gettin' paranoid and void then imply Tetth's a bad boy
Just gonna rap about kids that can't cope
Dogs get mad when niggas stand broke
With a phat rope, yo, what a joke
Shit, I had coke and fifty pound notes
Puffed it for those niggas I know
Far as I know you're a freak if I bone like I go
Trix and Milo, I roll with niggas with big machines
Blank screens, video scenes blue, black and green
Niggas with wigs scared the scam clean
And get the cream- know what I mean?
Diggin' the scene with the gasoline with enough magazines
Them nine to fives, big executives who ride the clock
There'll be no crime from nine to five
There be no crime for none of us
Livin' to find those kinds of drugs with no undercovers
Those motherfuckers can't flop dogs
In any form, this rough coughs quick
I'm sick going where the Jungle is clicking
In England the trans-Atlantic
In Harlem where demands don't quit
Levitating and useless debating
In these devastating times, don't let her run away
While everybody's just doing drugs
And writing melodic rhymes, don't sleep her love away
Trying to get one and not get into trouble
I might just be inclined, don't let her run away
We all got needs, we all do dirty deeds now
And then wanna smoke some weed, don't sleep her love away
Yeah we're free, yes we need to be free
Walkin' round with unsatisfying needs, don't let her run away
Yeah we're free, yes we need to be free
Walkin' round with unsatisfying needs, don't sleep her love away
Come with a bang bang
It's a hangman gettin' my prayer
My hands can slang bang actors
That have the will to gang slang
That's the type of nigga that can't say
You don't go and forget the down times
And the walk while I was with the bad man
Many to fly right? Master plan
Miracle flight like Pan-Am, man,damn
Sure as the echo 'fore that gonna pump the petrol
Niggas with escorts hide in the get-go
Now lay it in the ghetto, yeah y'all
I could find life in a Paris metro
While I'm walkin' around slammin' ghettos in the real
Know the rapper with the black girls
Deliverin' travels with the Maxwell's gettin' paid off girls
Rockwell's, high L's
Well as drop sales with Stock well
Street Dog with a Molotov cocktail
No no can't stop flowin' no, gettin' paid off girls
Rockwell's, high L's
Well as drop sales with Stock well
Street Dog with a Molotov cocktail
No no can't stop flowin' no
Levitating and useless debating
In these devastating times, don't let her run away
While everybody's just doing drugs
And writing melodic rhymes, don't sleep her love away
Trying to get one and not get into trouble
I might just be inclined, don't let her run away
We all got needs, we all do dirty deeds
Now and then wanna smoke some weed, don't sleep her love away
Yeah we're free, yes we need to be free
Walkin' round with unsatisfying needs, don't let her run away
Yeah we're free, yes we need to be free
Walkin' round with unsatisfying needs, don't sleep her love away
Yeah we're free, yes we need to be free
Walkin' round with unsatisfying needs, don't let her run away
Yeah we're free, yes we need to be free
Walkin' round with unsatisfying needs, don't sleep her love away
Yeah we're free, yes we need to be free
Walkin' round with unsatisfying needs, don't let her run away
Yeah we're free, yes we need to be free

Costanza & Tricky:
Doesn€™t matter about the time we take
Doesn€™t matter about the lies we make
Go slow
I think of how you€™re making me mad
I think of all the love we had
Feel so
Always question never quenching your thirst
Let me die when I lie to you first
I follow
When I€™m with you it€™s from within
I know you can see through my skin
I€™m hollow
I need you to feed me once more
I need you like I needed before
I€™ll grow
I€™m floating I€™m flying I€™m dying
I€™m floating I€™m flying I€™m dying
Tricky:
I said you needed like I needed before
Said you need me that you meet at five
You don۪t show I don۪t I۪۪m alive
My pulse slow
My pulse slow

You watch too many films
Too many films for real
And something else you take too seriously
Your record deal
A record deal pays bills
Pays bills and feeds a family
And your profile is too big
How ya gonna be a crime family
Too many films for real
You watch too many films, too many films for real
Don't get me wrong, I know you got guns and your not scared to use them
But is there money being made around these guns or lives until you lose them
You watch too many films, films for real (2x)
Some of those people have to live that life, for real
I don't have to, I got a record deal
For real, you heard, I chill and smoke herb
And how about these sexy singers, sex gods, talking about hitting girls in a turn
You're fantastic, you're super sperm
Yeah, I'm a player hater, I hate when players can't take their turn
And when a record company drops me, that's when I learn
It's not real, it's just passing time
It's not real, all I do is rhyme
It's not real, it's just passing time
All I do, all I do is rhyme
You heard, you heard
"You go Romeo" girls say
You look tall in the video
And the color girl sings
Get money (4x)
And no one sings the blues and everyone sings the greens
Someone said keep your eye on the prize
How you lose the dream
Who am I to say, I know you need cash... in this hundred yard dash
I moved awhile ago and past through New York
I'll be back in a minute, it's my turn to talk
For Real, you heard

Water now I've got me a daughter
Carriage for two
I call my baby Boo
Hey "T" I've got me a little black girl
And this little black girl's beautiful
I try to do what's dutiful
Teach her to lead
But never must she let go

Tricky & Costanza:
You leave me hungry
Wanting more
Am I thirsty
I wasn€™t sure
See me driving
Through the rain
Why am I driving
I can€™t explain
In my car to where you are
I won€™t make it
I can€™t make it
In my car to where you are
I won€™t make it
I can€™t make it
I am sliding
I lose my breaks
The lights are blinding
The earth quakes
Now I€™m lying
Will I die
Will they find me
Will they try
In my car to where you are
I won€™t make it
I can€™t make it
In my car to where you are
I won€™t make it
I can€™t make it
Doesn€™t matter about the time we make
Doesn€™t matter it doesn€™t shatter
If time we take
You know they€™re lost
While I€™m dragging the cross
(If you sing along€)
And where you cross (If I scream€)
While they€™re washing they sins
(And we sing along€)
She sings, I do evil things
I need I strive (and we sing along€)
I bleed alive
(And we sing along€ and we sing along€)

Tricky :
We know, yes we know
I set my ego on fantastic.
Still, you're fuckin' with my plastic
Take a second and medicate it
Dedicated, medicated,
They bend and break me
Overrate me
I take a small piece and make it breathe
It takes a second to wreck
Takes a second for a hit sucka niggas won't believe
They stress me, test me, vex me
So what, you got a gun?
That shit don't impress me
Yes yes you always walk with the crew
Y'all back the fuck up 'cause you're not alone
(And) you don't think i'm a brother, then check my chromosome
Brand new, you're retro
I already passed you on a one-two
I've been cued to this already
Bullet to the head.
Bullet to the head, do you think I's joking?
What the fuck are you doin'?
You wanna represent my attention?
You need more than a mike and a mention.
Through the scars you see bars
Through the bars you see scars results of my rage.
Brand new, you're retro. (x3)
Martina :
Scared to skip and step in case you trip and fall
Thunder picks you up, slaps you on the wall
That's maniacal, I cuff through my manocle
Mechanical and super-natty
Love is not talk, I walk on by
Exotic spices
If your mouth can't tame the meaning
Carefull of the faces you're seeing
A dread of the past and fear of the future
That's maniacle, I cuff through my manocle
Mechanical and super-natty
Tricky :
Brand new, you're retro X3
Brand new, you're retro X3
Bullet to the head, do you think I's joking?
What the fuck are you doin'?
You wanna represent my attention?
You need more than a mike and a mention.

Through the bars you see scars results of my rage.

Move over, move over, yeah you heard what I said, move over.
I feel so lonely, haven't slept a wink.
I walk the floor, and watch the door.
And in between I drink black coffee.
Love's a hand-me-down brew.
I never know why Sunday in this weekday brew?
I'm talking to the shadows, 1 o'clock till 4
And Lord how slow the moments go.
All I do is pour black coffee.
Since the blues caught my eye,
I'm hanging out on Monday,
But sunday dreams too dry
They say a man is born to go alone
And a woman is born to weep and fret
To stay at home and drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes.
And moody all the morning, moody all night.
And in between I drink black coffee.
Black coffee.

This is a matter of utmost urgency
You might even call it a police emergency
Suckers got ill when they finally heard the G
Wasn't sellin' out, they tried to murder me
Reached for my jammy like a troop's supposed to do
Never let a sucker get too close to you
Heard 'em comin', ducked behind the wall
Then saw the whites of his eyes, the first one had to fall
Another bug creeped up the fire escape
Trying to sneak, I guess he snuck too late
Lookin' like a scene from Real Life Vice
The way his head fell apart like a block of solid ice
Uzi does it, come to think of it
Dude had a nine, but his wasn't as fast as mine
I heard the phone ring, should I answer?
This is gettin' serious as terminal cancer
And that is the final stage, my primal rage
Began to rise and I started to fantasize
How many more might try to rush the door
And blast their way in, hell, I ain't stayin'
I opened the back door and felt the summer night heat
Saw a bunch of bugs wearin' white sheets
What else could it mean? I know it ain't Halloween
The cross in the background burnin' made a ill scene
First I was panicky, then I was angry
One creep even had a rope ready to hang me
Now who am I supposed to be? Eddie Spaghetti?
You come and vic Rob G any time you're ready?
Fuck that, they had me trapped so I rushed back
They tried to bust me but they don't have enough caps
I dipped, dived, slipped, slid, they missed me
I had to move quick or they was bound to get me
One bullet grazed me, that didn't phase me
What could I say? I was havin' a fucked up day
Stood up and took aim, my finger on the trigger
I shouted "Now let me hear you say nigger!"
Well anyway, nobody spoke or went for broke
The place was all clouded up from gunsmoke
And everything got quiet, I don't buy it
Just a second ago we had a riot
They must be plannin' attack or settin' a trap
Whatever the case you won't get this black
Now I'm on the edge and there's no denyin' it
Whatever the hell might work I'm tryin' it
Thought I was a target that they could get right quick
But I ain't goin' out like no statistic
Another number, made me wonder
How many other brothers they've put under
I sat in the dark real still for a long time
Didn't make a sound cos I've got a strong mind
Made my way to the street, it was daybreak
Must've fallen asleep, but for Pete's sake
I didn't see the enemy tryin' to put an end to me
The night before, my finger trigger was sore
I went in the house to get a fresh clip
And then I woke up an' shit...
Was just a bad dream....

Tricky & Costanza:

see you in the sun

I fuck you in the ass, just for a laugh
with the quickspeed I'll make your nose-bleed
I ride the premenstral cycle
Forget about the michael
Here's the big blast, I like the big catch
i'll spray you straight through
I spray your daydreams
Enjoy myself, within myself, encouraging sin
TV smile for TV is god ... strange ways by the tube rays
I roll up the blue bills
I snort the cheap thrills

Tricky:
Damn bam
Read the lines
Bleed succeed
We design
I couldn't care less
It's a killing time

No snack, it bring you curse
No sweat, you like your worse
strange fruit ...
changing bombs into ear gums
Running (?) every time and every sign
Every line and every crime

She said, she said
Even might turn out the lights
She said, she said
Pretend to know me- then show me
She said, she said
She was a missed good night,I
Wanted to share her vagina
She said, she said
Then we jumped in her car
Went real far
After the pizza
With Wendy and Lisa
She said, she said
Asked about Prince
I left my fingerprints
She said, she said
Then I jumped in the car
Go real far
Jumped in the car
Go real far
She said, she said
Now I start fucking with drugs
I got Muggs
She said, she said
Then we jump in the car
And go real far
She was just showin' me tanks
Robbin' banks
A new inflation bring migration
If you want to be boy
Don't send a decoy
She said, she said
Tricky and Kioka:
Wait 'til dark comes
Don't play with guns
And kill the toys
Don't play with boys
Tricky:
She said, she said
Let's go stress
Then touch my breasts
It's all yours
We finish tours
She said, she said
Then we jumped in the car
Went real far
Jumped in the car
Went real far
She said, she said
Now I'm on the run
Always weighs a ton
She said, she said
Dark brown eyes
'You wanna stroll with' eyes
She said, she said
Takes lots of patience
Then I lost my patience
Acting like an actress
Killed her on the mattress
She's dead, she's dead
She's dead, she's dead
Then I jumped in my car
Went real far
Jumped in my car
Went real far
Jumped in my car
Went real far
She's dead, she's dead

It's too good
It's too nice
She makes me feel it's too quick
Is it love?
No not love
She turns my sexual trick
She says she's mine, i know she lies
First, i scream, then i cry.
You take a second of me
You beckon, i'll bleed
She suffocates me
She suffocates me with suggestions
I asked 'do you feel the same?'
And later on, maybe
I'll tell you my real name
She's so good, she's so bad
You understand, I can't expand
Ahah, now I could just kill a man
She's on her knees, i say please
I cross her city lines, she's got brown eyes
I think ahead of you, i think instead of you
Will you spend your life with me
And stifle me?
I know why the caged bird sings, i know why...
Forgive and you're forgiven
Kingdom come
Can you wait for yours, i need to taste some
Life's really funny, i laugh while she spends my money
She's my freak
I guess i'm weak
You ask what is this?
Mind your business
I pass my idle days with my idle ways
'Til the twelfth of always
She walks my hallways
I keep her warm, but we never kiss
She cuts my slender wrists
Let's waste some more time
I sign the dotted line
A different level
She-devil
I think ahead of you, i think instead of you
Will you spend your life with me
And stifle me?
I know why the caged bird sings, i know why...
You ask what is this?
Mind your business
I pass my idle days with my idle ways
'Til the twelfth of always
She walks my hallways
I keep her warm but we never kiss
She says i'm weak and immature
But it's cool
I know what money's for.
Push comes to shove, her tongue's her favourite weapon on attack
I slap her back, she mostly hates me.
I think ahead of you, i think instead of you
Will you spend your life with me
And stifle me?
I know why the caged bird sings, i know why
Can i take off your clothes
Before we go out
And when you're helpless, i'll scream and shout
We finish everyday
Well, anyway
Sixty-nine degrees
My head's between your knees.
You ask what is this?
Mind your business
It's too good
It's too nice
She makes me feel it's too quick
Is it love?
No not love
She turns my sexual trick
She says she's mine, i know she lies
First, i scream, then i cry.
Take a second of me
You beckon, i'll bleed
Take a second of me
I think ahead of you, i think instead of you
Will you spend your life with me
And stifle me?

Tricky:
It€™s my world
It€™s my world
Tricky & Costanza:
Running
Breathing
Deceiving
Take and make
What you breath in
Know me
Show me
Hardly
No you can€™t A&R; me
Costanza Francavilla :
I pretend I don€™t exist
I close my eyes and wish
Taste like liquorice
& sound so devilish
Slide across the floor
Move a little more
Take a sip & pour
I€™ve heard it all before
Tricky & Costanza:
It€™s my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream
Make me skim
(2x)
Constanza Francavilla :
I€™m feeling
Feeling
Craw across the ceiling
In the day mix
They play cheap tricks
I pretend I don€™t exist
Close my eyes and wish
My thoughts are devilish
My thoughts are just a wish
Tricky:
It€™s my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream make me skim
Tricky & Costanza:
It€™s my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream make me skim
Tricky:
It€™s funny how you feel
The eyes in your head
The brain and spine
Releases fluid when you€™re dead
Then you start to shed
Turning to something else instead
Something else was said
Someone else€™s sunset was red
Tricky & Costanza:
It€™s my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream make me skim

I stand firm for our soil [a source]
lick a rock on foil [nigga I'll come forth]
Say reduce me, seduce me, [They juice me, seduce me]
Dress me up in Stssy.
Hell is round the corner where I shelter.
Ism's and schisms, we're living helter skelter [been livin' on a study]
If you believe and [or] deceive common sense says shouldn't receive
Let me take you down the corridors of my life.
And when you walk, do you walk to your preference?
No need to answer till I take furthur evidence.
I seem to need a reference to get residence.
A reference to your preference to say,
I'm a good neighbor, I trudge, [shrug]
So judge me for labour,
live version of the song. The bond on me ensures [lobotomy] my good behavior
The constant struggle [strum] ensures my insanity.
Passing the ignorance ensures the struggle for my family
We're hungry beware of our appetite.
Distant drums bring the news of a kill tonight.
The kill which I share with my passengers.
We take our fill, take our fill, take our fill.
[repeat first four lines]
Confused by different memories,
Details of Asian remedies
Conversations, of what's become of enemies.
My brain thinks bomb-like,
So I listen he's a calm type.
And as I grow, I grow collective.
Before the move sit on the perspective.
Mr. Quaye [Mr. Kray] lay in the crevice. [Distant cradle in the crevice]
And watches from the precipice.
Empirial passage.
Heat from the sun somedays slowly passes,
Until then, you have to live with yourself (x2).

D'na:
I'm calling you
I'm calling you now
And now won't wait
And now won't change now
Or rearrange
it might get strange now
it might get strange now
Tricky and D'na:
Just fallin' free
Just fall in me
And i'm your coffin
And I'm your coffin
For endless sleep now
For endless sleep now
Little sunbeam
I hear you scream
I feel your heat now
I feel your heat now
Here's to one way sleep now
I hear trees scream
Ain't the people mean?
What do they mean?
It's time to sleep now
It's time to go now
I wait for you, I wait for you
I wait for you, I wait for you
I wait for you
Little sunbeam
I can hear you scream
I can feel your heat now

It's time to sleep now
It's time to go now
I wait for you, I wait for you
I wait for you, I hate for you
I wait for you, i hate for you
I wait for you, i hate for you
I wait for you, i hate for you
I wait for you, i hate for you
I wait for you, i hate for you
Hate for you
I wait for you, I wait for you
I wait for you, I hate for you
I hate for you
Hate for you

I can feel your heat now
It's time to go now

Bury in the evidence
Tricky:
(Hawkman in the background)
I can picture it now
You in your car
Left the bar
Playing Big Part
Keep up complainin'
It's probably rainin'
Keeping complaining
It's probably raining
You're gonna visit your car
It's one of my peeps
With a blow to your head
Is that what you need
You're probably bleeding
Is that what you needed
You're probably bleeding
Just like a movie
Just like a movie
Just like a movie
Life doesn't move me
Life doesn't move me
I keep with you now
Here in your car
Left the bar
Playing the Big Part
Keeping complaining
It's probably raining
It's one of my peeps
With a blow to your head
Is that what you needed
What you needed
What you needed
You caught me breathing
It's just like a movie
Life's just like a movie
It's like a movie
Just like a movie
It doesn't move me
Move me

Life doesn't move

A blow to the head
Move Me

Is simplicity the best or simply the easiest?
The narrowest path is always the holiest
So walk on barefoot for me, suffer some misery
If you want my love, if you want my love
Man will survive the harshest conditions
And stay alive through difficult decisions
So make up your mind for me, walk the line for me
If you want my love, if you want my love
Idle talk and hollow promises
Cheating Judases, doubting Thomases
Don't just stand there and shout it
Do something about it
You can fulfill your wildest ambitions
And I'm sure you will lose your inhibitions
So open yourself for me, risk your health for me
If you want my love, if you want my love

The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping wino
The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping wino
The mind's a crowd, search for the the spaces
And turn around time's gone, I take ten paces
Been up ahead, can't make head or tale of it
I drink till I'm drunk, and I smoke till I'm senseless
You see in black and white, feel in slow motion
I drown myself in sorrow until I wake up tomorrow
The illusion of confusion is not from where I am sat
Different levels of the devil's company
They lead us outside, take us out quietly
To the cage through the bars
You see scars, results of my rage
The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping wino
The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping wino
The mind's a crowd, search for the the spaces
And turn around time's gone, I take ten paces
Been up ahead, can't make head or tale of it
I drink till I'm drunk, and I smoke till I'm senseless
You see in black and white, feel in slow motion
I drown myself in sorrow, until I wake up tomorrow
I drown myself in sorrow, until I wake up tomorrow
I drown myself in, I drown myself in

Girls, boys
Girls, boys
Girls wish you never had boys, they grow up to be bad boys
Cry I've never had boys, never seen your dad, boy
I've never seen my dad, boy, without the Roy
And when my career stops kickin', I'm gonna stick him
Rock a dub now let me show you where it's at, boy
Just a puppet and then you grew into a fat boy
Make a dog and then you chase another cat, boy
Blow it up and let me show you where it's at, boy
Girls wish you never had boys, they grow up to be bad boys
Cry I've never had boys, never seen your dad, boy
I've never seen my dad boy, I've never seen my dad boy, without the Roy
And if my career stops kickin', I'm gonna stick him
Starin' through the sun tell your devil beware
I am not the son of your family affair
Baby breaks away and I've got my face in my hand
Genetics from my gun, trust me I don't care
I don't need no man
Little boys
Rappa rouser, bappa bouser
Shake it for me, baby, let me step into your trousers
I allow this
Come on baby let me take you to the houses
I allow this
This is now and you better bow this
This is now and you better bow this
This is now and you better bow this
Staring through the sun tell your devil beware
(Jamaica's skirts and blouses)
I am not the son of your family affair
(He didn't rob his houses)
Baby breaks away and I've got my face in my hand
(Fuck the biological)
Genetics from my gun, trust me I don't care
I don't need no man
I'm not a fire starter
'Cause I'm a little smarter
I'm not a fire starter
'Cause I'm a little smarter
Smarter than the average bear
You always say that you care
I don't care, family's there
Rock a dub now let me show you where it's at, boy
Just a puppet and then you grew into a fat boy
Make a dog and then you chase another cat, boy
Blow it up and let me show you where it's at boy
Staring through the sun tell your devil beware
(Jamaica's skirts and blouses)
I am not the son of your family affair
(He didn't rob his houses)
Baby breaks away and I've got my face in my hand
(Fuck the biological)
Genetics from my gun, trust me I don't care
I don't need no man, I don't care
Jamaica's skirts and blouses
I don't care
He didn't rob his houses
I don't care
I'm not a fire starter
I don't care
'Cause I'm a little smarter
Staring through the sun tell your devil beware
(I said, I don't care, I said, I don't care)
I am not the son of your family affair
(I said, I don't care)
Baby break away and I've got my face in my hand
(Stop the care)
Genetics from my gun, trust me I don't care
(I said, I don't care)
I don't care
Say, I don't care
Care, I don't care

Fuck you in, tuck you in, suck you in
'Then you fly
You fly as fast as you can to baby Jesus!'
I am she, mistakes of men
Gritted teeth, fists are clutching
Breast stroke, lots of touching
See you in the sauna
There'll be a big foreigner at my
Hotel, motel, hotel, motel
I fuck you in the ass, just for a laugh
With the quick speed, I'll make your nose bleed
I ride the pre-menstrual cycle
Forget about Michael
Now here's the big blast, I like the big catch
I'll spray you straight through
I spray your daydreams
Enjoy myself, within myself
And back again, encouraging sin, a powerful mind
Devious mind for a devious kind
Ugly noises and strange ways by the two praise
I roll up the blue bills

Starts off in the hips
Move to my lips
For all those who want to analyze me
Start it off in the hips
Move to my lips
For all those who want to analyze me
For all those who want to analyze me
My mother committed suicide when I was four or five
I love Mike-O was killed by a psycho
But I'm not sad or sorry cause we be tomorrow
Will it be on hot sand or on hot land
Maybe a concrete corner - December
Red zones in my head phones
The Devil's tools - inside us fools
Love shall leave me alone
Will it be on hot sand or on hot land
Maybe a concrete corner - December
Red zones in my head phones
The Devil's tools - inside us fools

Into the morning
Got me through the night
I've seen the light
I see the light
I live of what I need
I've got greed
I've been a sinner for as long as I know
So help me understand
The little that I know
Shadow dancing with my spirit
Got to face your demon on your own
Take my body and put it through the dust
I've been buried in the crust
Together now
So help me understand
The little that I know
Together now, together now
It's us now, It's us now
And there's them, and there's them
And should we start again
Together now, together now
It's us now, it's us now...
The descendants of Christ
And it's you
Will you help me I'm confused
What you gonna do
With the little that I know
With the little that I got
We're together now, we're together
It's us now
And there's them, and there's them
And should we start again
Together now, together now

Tricky Vocal solo :
I can't relax I need to meditate.
Yeah, I'll make 'em wait. (x2)
Time moves in numbers,
I count the summers, direct the drummers.
I can't relax I need to meditate.
Yeah, I'll make 'em wait.
Time moves in numbers,
I count the summers, direct the drummers.
Tell me you don't feel nothing,
Would you like to ride on my train, or
Would you like to drink from my vein?
My vibe's just a fuckin' feeling.
I see the ceiling.
And adjust to such a feeling.
I be the prophet, slay me then we'll cross it.
I'm ready on the other side X4

Ragga :
I fight evil with evil
I fight evil with evil
Believe me how you found me
Take away my self-esteem
Anytime you're ready
Tricky :
You don't, you don't
You don't, you don't
You don't, you you don't you don't wanna even try
Ragga :
I sleep, but get no rest.
You scheme, but gods know best.
Second trying, I was actually dying, ohohoh!
When you drown in your devil's music
I did every need to use it.
Tricky :
You don't, you don't
You don't, you don't
You don't, you you don't you don't wanna even try
Ragga :
Trust you if you're trustful
Use you if you're useful
Really smooth, really evil
And if you're here, and that is the reason.
Giant strides, twelve tribes
It takes a second to wreck it
Sixty seconds, forget it
I guess you dont hear me though
Tricky :
You don't, you don't
You don't, you don't
you don't, you you don't wanna even try
Ragga :
I guess you dont hear me though,
I'm not looking yours, I'm looking mine
Looking so quiet but discreet
Echoes to see
On an unsuggested stream, unsuggested mean
Take it to the top, unstable the times
Unstable the walk
Unbearable, searable, popular demand
From cradle to grave is Abel buried a man
With my moneys and the felons, we conquer a clearance
Building extensions of potential
But I guess you don't hear me though
Tricky :
You don't, you don't
You don't, you don't
You don't, you you don't you don't wanna even try
Ragga :
You don't, you don't

You don't, you don't
You don't, you don't
You don't, you you don't you don't wanna even try
Ragga :

Tricky:
She's the one makes me feel these ways
He's the one needs some raise/ways
Can't stand to feel
Hate to feel
Gone insane
Highjack a plane
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
Trying hard not to lose my head
Can't hardly breathe
I've been and seen
She hides my ventolin
Can't hardly breathe [x3]
Martina :
( I'm the one ), I'm the one
( Who hides his medicine ), Who hides his medicine
( Watch him stop breathing ), Watch him stop breathe
( Watch him bleed ), Watch him bleed
( I right the wrongs and take his songs ), I right the wrongs and take
his song
( And we'll all live happily ever after ), And we'll all live happy ever
after
( Can't hardly breathe ), Can't hardly breathe [x3]
And we all seem together now

Fuck you in
Suck you in
Tuck you in
I enjoy myself within myself and back again
Encouraging [??]
I am she who stinks of men
Gritty teeth, fists are clutching,
breast stroke, lots of touching
There'll be big fun up at my hotel, motel
I'll fuck you in the ass
Just for a laugh
With the quick speed
I'll make your nose bleed
I ride the premenstral cycle
Forget about the michael
Here's the big blast
I like the big cash
I hits the big grass
i'll spray you straight through
I spray your trade troops
He hit me one time
He hit me two times
You hit me thrice..

The only disease in our blood we need is love

Tricky :
In hell i'll be lost in the layers of weakness
All around the surface brainwashed with the cheapest

Brainwashed with the
Hallucinagenics in my system

Strugglin with the insane
Darkness and warmth
The obvious and mysterious
Magical colors, mythical shadows
Half thought with no meaning

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And all the animals I have trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off the grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way
Something in the way
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And all the animals I have trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off the grass
And the drippings from my ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way
Something in the way
Something in the way

Roaming bastards
Forever half-wits
Carrying equation
It's like I'm asian
You heard fantastic
We cross atlantic
We found the name-ula
I'm the kid with the formula
Watching me do
It's even voodoo
I'll make your back break
And your knees bend
Sucking me frantic
Sucking me frantic
Well I'm like a smoking beagle
Got a rhyme
Do the time
Which isn't legal
I'm the aliens X3
Carrying equation
It's like I'm asian
I'm fucking Ronald Reagan
It's cause I'm paid-en
You heard fantastic
We cross Atlantic
We found the name-ula
I'm the kid with the formula
I'm the aliens
'Cos I'm bigger than you X2
Call me like King Kong

I fly away
I fly away
I'm up high
I fly away
I fly away
Some people have fun with me
And won't talk to me
It makes me feel uncomfortable
I'm in trouble
I fly away
I fly away
I'm up high
I'm flyin'
I'm dyin'
Can't you see you're killin' me
Ability, I'll show you all that sex is
It's not in your Lexus
And when your restless
Can I be on your next list, wait awhile
Make her smile, make her smile
Crash her guest list
Thrown to my knees, once she receives
With you, I put a dress on
I dress and impress on
I taste like licorice
Scream if you're ticklish
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Act like you know me
Slowly
Act like you know me
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Act like you know me
So if he would put a dress on
Unless you put the stress on
Tuck your hair behind your ears
Your tears, your silly fears
I'd be your Teddy bear
I'd choose the clothes, I wear
With you, I had so much pain
Shot glass migraine
For you, I'd lose my focus
Swim in a swarm of locusts
For you, I'd swim with ease
Save the planet, leave the trees
Hold me, hold me, hold me
Forget what you told me
For you, I'd swim with ease
Save the planet, leave the trees
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Act like you know me
Slowly
Act like you know me
Slowly, slowly, slowly
And act like you know me
For you, I'd swim with ease
Save the planet, leave the trees
Slowly, slowly, slowly
And act like you know me
Slowly
And act like you know me
Slowly
And act like you know me
Slowly, slowly

I believe in, I deceive in
Bottom weaving, I can breathe in
Make a wish in, flower fishing
Moving vibration, mild relation
I'm Jamaican on your radio station
Got a curse in, could be worse in
You first in a hearse in
Good as dead , nothing left in
Nothing left in, some be heading
I need a head rest in
And a feed from a warm breast
A man making hits
For the childhood of hicks
Underground like
Who's it sound like
You all sound the same
But you don't know my name
I believe in people lyin'
I believe in people dyin'
I believe in people tryin'
I believe in people cryin'
I believe in people balkin'
I believe in people talkin'
I believe in people breathin'
I believe in people bein'
We all sound the same
You don't know my name
Rearrange and things don't change
Things remain, feel the strain
Stress, catch my breath
(There'll be a new tale of)
Get some rest
(He and I)
From the mess
(In fact any time)
I couldn't care less
(Every day)
Sugar cane
(Write fictional stories)
Is like smack to my vein
Shook fame
(If you want to)
But I don't complain
(On the street)
I believe in different reasons
I believe in breathe through seasons
I believe when snow flakes fall
I believe in buildings tall
I believe in people bombing
I believe in people warring
I believe diseases coming
I believe that's why I'm running
Keep living, keep living
You gotta ask
(There'll be a new tale of)
Before he attacks
(He and I)
You got the flats
(In fact any time)
Dub my sacks
(Every day)
You've got the city
(Writing fictional stories)
Move out of the country
I'm scrunching
(If you want to)
Friends that are punchy
(On the street)
I believe in people fallin'
I believe in people warrin'
I believe diseases comin'
I believe that's why I'm runnin'
I believe in people balkin'
I believe in people talkin'
I believe in people breathin'
I believe in people bein'
Keep living, keep living
Keep living, keep living

Tricky :
What you gonna do with your sex drive?
Wait for your soul to catch up with me
Concretely seen
I talk to him
I wanna lie
She looks at me
I wanna hide
Wanna be rich and fat
How do I validate that?
I think every time to fluid
I cut my mouth...
Do I, returning into there
Can I rest my head on your chest and dribble
You know the rules I speaks in riddle
Pain is somewhere along the line
Pain is somewhere along the line
It takes courage and strength to be single
When you get older your body won't look so good
This is the peak, the best time for a relationship
I'm the only shiek in moscow
I said if you're in love let go my hand now
The older i get the more confused i am
The older i get the more bitter i am
Damn it jesus
They want more more pleasure more Regis
Martina :
Paranoid soul with my head down
I dominate with a conflicting mind state
You hold the national wealth
I get the, i get the national health
You told me i was the original guttersnipe
But really i'm the original isrealite
I live in a ghetto forever after
So you manufacture the ghetto blaster
But i'm out now, i'm older
Don't carry music on my shoulder
You think i'm a wild terrier
Now i can afford to live in your area
(mumbling)
The older I get the more confused I am

Pumpkin
You?re hollow within
More how I?m to slowly
Let their harm
Give us some
It?s sad until
Like flowers untamed
Shine out ends
I find what will make him love me
Life is our find
Hollow is he
I can?t breathe and I can?t see
MTV moves too fast, I refuse to understand
You go your way and I?ll see mine
Feels like wasted time
And it feels like I must be blind
How?d you like yourself?
You don?t know yourself
To a hollow kind, don?t mind
Love is some of you
Don?t dabble in fall of failure
How, how bad, ooh, ooh
I smell of she and I fail to be
Well anyway, well anyway, well anyway
See how high
Go on
I can?t see, and I can?t breathe
I can?t see, and I can?t breathe
I can?t see, and I can?t breathe
I can?t see, and I can?t breathe

( Repeated throughout: He's falling, slowly falling, Jesus Christ )
Tricky :
When will it ever end?
See it in the face again
Space trace the alien
And he shall be called Adrian
So it seems I'm the devil's son
Outta breath and on the run
Jesus christ don't wanna be me
First you burn then try to see me
When will it ever end?
See it in the face again
Space space trace the alien
Space trace the alien X2
And he shall be called Adrian
So it seems I'm the devil's son
Outta breath and on the run
Jesus christ don't wanna be me
First you burn then try to see me
First you burn X2
You need to breath and there's a sequal
When I rock there is no equal
And you need to breath and there's a sequal
When I rock there is no equal
When I slide divided it becomes
(Repeated throughout : He's falling, slowly falling, Jesus Christ )
Grim Reaper :
Yes, could this be? another episode from the terror trilogy
The world economy
He's falling, slowly falling
When those streets are paved with gold and silver,
Ahahaha, when will this mad-ness ever end ?
He's falling, slowly falling, Jesus Christ X2
There is no more rain left in the forest,
Everything is petrified, terrified, horrified..
You've been denied!
The right to your third eye. now it's shut-t-t-t-t
No more to be opened, ahahaha
What's going on
Sometimes the Rhyme has no meaning: unless you give it meaning
He's falling, slowly falling, Jesus Christ
( Tricky : I can't .... no meaning, I see the ... Yeah )
Yeah the feeling, It's appealing but it's real it's real is it real?
Or is it Memorex?
Jesus Christ
Yeah
He's falling, slowly falling, Jesus Christ X2
Tricky:
We're in the devils company X5
Oh Yeah
When will it ever end?
See it in the face again
Space trace the alien
And he shall be called Adrian
So it seems I'm the devil's son
Outta breath and on the run
He's falling, slowly falling, Jesus Christ X2

Gatekeeper
Gatekeeper :
There are reasons and fouls to fax and those who get caught in the act
Get the axe, yet, my style is known to catapult like a jet, like a F-15
Yo! my gleem is bright and hard when it strikes
Niggaz get caught in the dead of the nightmare! Ah! you're scared, duck
away
Don't get too close or you might just get roast, roast! ha!
I come with the pharaoh, the sparrow, the crow
Just like an arrow to the bone, oh
I piss through your toe, your knee and your cap
Wouh! Decapitate and scatter it, Wouh! Batter it theives and villians,
those who aren' t killin,
that's, there's the willing
Lord, thats the way they choose when you are bound to lose

Grimreaper :

RZA :

Slow escapade, they wanna get paid after the show
So, away we go to the MO-tel

Tricky :
I confide to anything
So I have to hide from everything.
Everybody wants a piece of me.
You see origin and cease to be.
Sit back and let it happen,
Let us take your time away.
I don't understand you.
I don't want your time of day.
If you're gonna walk, might as well walk your way,
Always up the hallways,
Forget the punk, I pack the funk.
I'm gonna take a piece of you.
Making money for good health,
But first I learn to see myself (x2)
You've promised me poems (x3)
Terry Hall :
I rue the day that I ever met you,
And deeply regret you getting close to me.
I cannot wait to deeply neglect you,
Deeply forget you, Jesus believe me,
You promised me poems.
You might have been my reason for livin'
I gave up on givin', gave up everything.
We were a right pair of believers
A couple of dreamers,
So how come you hate me?
You promised me poems (x4).
Martina :
Dreamed of ringing voices,
And contemplated choices.
Taste like a fresh kiss,
To heighten my awareness.
With all fairness, greatness, with gratitude.
And simply rhymes with gratitude
Now do promotion and TV, and ya still can't see. We
Down the hill cascade
And keep away the masquerade,
Dreamed of ringing voices,

Peyote sings
'Excuse me, what you looking at ?
Aren't you that ?
Yes I am, why ?

Peyote sings
Are you rich are you wealth ?
Why you do this ?
I can't do nothing else
To be truthful to you

The only difference between me and you
Is that I get by
'Excuse me, what you looking at ?
Peyote sings
Do you think you're a good father to your daughter ?
Yeah, and when I'm not

'Excuse me, what you looking at ?
What you looking at ?
Peyote sings
When's your new album ?

I listen to the calling
'Excuse me, what you looking at ?

Peyote sings
'Scuse me can I ask you a question ?
Why'd you ask so many questions ?

So why'd you do it ?

( Massive attack )
(vowles, del naja, marshall, thaws, norfolk, locke)
Sitting in my day care, yard is decopainted.
Blessed by the drink
Upon the corner ???
Chased by the planet
Haunted by the medium
Too high to flow toward to break the tedium
Glow from my tv set is blue like neon
Activated the remote I put the BBC on
I've seen this city somewhere
I'm looking out for no-one
Pallor in my eye it get blue like neon
Tricky
Hell is round the corner where i shelter
Isms and schisms we're living helter skelter
If you believe i deceive then common sense says shall you receive
Let me take you down the corridors of my life
And when you walk, do you walk to your preference
No need to answer till i take further evidence
I seem to need reference to get residence
A reference to your preference to say i'm a good neighbour
I trudge so judge me for my labour
I walk in a bar and immediately sense danger
You look at me, girl, as if i was some kind of a
A total stranger
Hysterical, ecstatical ???
Have to get a drink, i go to relax
Upon phono, no go zone i go through
Aching aways just to relocate you
Kill us with your fist
Now baby mix it with me
You see me function better when i get approximately
High by my technical flyby
I function better with the sun in my eyes
So goodbye
Tricky
Take a second of me you beckon i'll be
And when you're sad i'll mourn
And when you tear i'm torn
Take a second of me (x2)
I stand firm for our soil
Lick a rock on foil
So reduce me, seduce me
Dress me up in stussy
Show me and i'll stick em
Will you be my victim
Take a second of me
Mad over you, mad over me, an analogy
Baby taking up up all of my stationary
Sitting in my daycare, mediocre painted
Colliding with the jam
Until the drink got dated
Window when they go when they go boom
??? of my room
No sense you can trust me
Climb on my sofa
Roll in a daydream

How things are
Together we'll destroy
Then we can destroy what we are
Then we'll build what we are
When we dream the spirit free
We don't give praise we take praise
And why are we
[Rapped]
How things are
Together we'll destroy
Then we can destroy what we are
Then we'll build what we are
When we dream the spirit free
We don't give praise we take praise
And why are we
This isn't crystal though nothing is clear
I despise you
I damn you
Dream you
I love you
But still nothing's clear
I think of when i found you
(Deep deep) in salt water
Drag you down into life
See(m) some vision
Raised in this place
Concrete is my religion
The place where the sun(s makes mostly sense)
See how it ends
You feed me when I'm hungry
Drink me 'til I'm dry
You dream then and now
Isn't nothing but a lie
Human lies
Distortion
The English disaster
Though we're free
Black or White
One law for one master
I found a new place to live
We're taught to grow strong
Strongly sensitive
And life sets the scenery
Colors leave only beauty
Words and wine amongst the greenery
The only lessons the teach from the marigin
The ask my origin
Tomorrow's sin
But now you're being (choosajooed) to color
Where i'm from
Me? I'm from my mother
[scratched sample]
I take small step
[grumbled]
(Which relates)
The place where the sun(s makes mostly sense)
See how it ends...

Shiny gun, shiny gun, shiny gun right now
it's time for the showdown.
I never want to hold the gun without the glove's upon my
hand, don't leave the finger prints on the murder
weapon.
One of them come i'm gonna kill them dead, two of them
come i'm gonna run them red, went out to chase i'll send
them to their beds, another one dead.
Shiny gun, shiny gun, shiny gun rude boy

Tricky and Cia Berg :
I wanna give birth to your baby, baby
Scream all night long
Exercise our breathing so they hear it in Vietcong
Untangle my umbilical
There's no need to be political
Let's not get too serious
Just try to stay predictable
Cos I....

Kickin'
Tricky and Cia Berg :
I met you on a Tuesday
Or maybe was it Wednesday
You befriended me, defended me
Shortly after you offended me
I asked you "What's your name?"
I looked at you the same
If there a possibility
That you could take on my fertility
All :
I can't help that I think you're really kickin'
I can't help that I think you're really kickin'
I can't help that I think you're really kickin'
I can't help..
I think you're really...

Tricky :
Can't you feel that my climax isn't topical
My physical biological isn't logical
It's astronomical

Tricky
You sure you want to be with me
I've nothing to give
Wwon't lie and say this lovin's best
Leave us in emotional peace
Take a walk, taste the rest
No, take a rest
I see you digging a hole in your neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy
No need to live in a lean-to
Your troubles must be seen to seen to
Money like it's paper with faces i remember
I drink on a daily basis
Though it seldom cools my temper
It never cools my temper
Tricky
Walking through the suburbs though not exactly lovers
You're a couple, 'specially when your body's doubled
Duplicate, then you wait for the next kuwait

You sure you want to be with me i've nothing to give
Take a walk take a rest taste the rest(x2)
Take a walk take a rest a taste of rest
Tricky
Don't want to be on top of your list
Phenomenally and properly kissed
We overcome in sixty seconds
With the strength we have to together
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed
When there's trust there'll be treats
And when we funk we'll hear beats
(both)
Karmacoma, jamaica an' roma (x4)
Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate
I must be crazy, see i'm swazy
Digging a hole in your neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy, must be lazy
Tricky
Don't wanna on top of your list
Monopoly and properly kissed
Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate
My baby
Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate
I must be crazy, you must be lazy
(both)

Is simplicity the best
Or simply the easiest
The narrowest path
Is always the holiest
So walk on barefoot for me
Suffer some misery
If you want my love X2
Man will survive
The harshest conditions
And stay alive
Through difficult decisions
So make up your mind for me
Walk the line for me
If you want my love X2
Idle talk
And hollow promises
Cheating Judases
Doubting Thomases
Don't just stand there and shout it
Do something about it
You can fulfill
Your wildest ambitions
And I'm sure you will
Lose your inhibitions
So open yourself for me
Risk your health for me

In the Beamer or a fly Mercedes
Gettin' lit up, high on the great weed
I like the girls, I like the ladies
I light my world to drive her crazy
In the Beamer or a fly Mercedes
Gettin' lit up, high on the great weed
I like the girls, I like the ladies

(Whether they're slim or they're short)
I light my world to drive her crazy
(I really don't care)
Met two girls in a restaurant
Didn't know the hookers was lesbians
'Til I got home and started sexin' 'em
The shit they were doing was excellent
Yeah, yeah, the show was perfect
The one with her tits in the other girl's bit
Slim girl was holdin' her hips
Strokin' her tongue all over her clit
This girl was gettin' pornographic
Should've had a vid recordin' that shit
One girl's tits now taking a big mount
Going down south licking the bitch out
'Round 'em and stylin' my dick was shinin'
Next minute the babe is grindin'
Went outside and left 'em windin'
When I came back they was 69in'
All of 'em was crying she'd screamed
"Lick the whipped cream from off of her tits"
See me laying for the queen all this fisting
Reminds me of a dream I had at fifteen
Last time I seen 'em was at the club
It was me two girls and the scrappy love
Back then wanted to be nice enough
But now there's enough for the both of us
In the Beamer or a fly Mercedes
(I like the girls)

Fit like hand in glove and I'm up
Take a shot like the last of the stand drop
Boom boom boom check, then feel again
That's the time to pull out the handcuffs
Dials a one on a one minute call
Be gone if I never done the cheap rough
She calls and asks when we can fuck
And who else wants the Jungle Lay
So she dials a one on a one minute call
Be gone if I never done the cheap rough
Unless she wants a Jungle Lay
So she calls everyone wonderin' when we can fuck
Dolce & Gabbana wearin'
'Cause when the girls put on the starin'
I love watchin' all this dancin'
By the girls who are as about as luscious acting
Rude girl and her martial firing
Ooh well, get the spot, they whinin'
Street Dog, they caught me rhymin'
Turned around and got fucking blinded
My favorite beds get no shy women
When or wherever to be drivin'
My take come to the face
When I see that beat goes the drum and the bass is blastin'
Freak if I bone it's like I lost control
I'm all alone think I'm toppin'
Get high when I drive a car
And try to drink and drive when I'm private parking
In the Beamer or a fly Mercedes
Gettin' lit up, high on the great weed
I like the girls, I like the ladies
I light my world to drive her crazy

Tricky :
I stand firm for our soil
Lick a rock on foil
So reduce me, seduce me,
Dress me up in stussy.
Hell is round the corner where I shelter.
Isms and schisms, we're living helter skelter
If you believe I deceive common sense says shall you receive
Let me take you down the corridors of my life.
And when you walk, do you walk to your preference
No need to answer 'till I take further evidence.
I seem to need a reference to get resident.
A reference to your preference to say,
I'm a good neighbour, I trudge,
So judge me for my labour,
The bond on me ensures my good behavior
The constant struggle insures my insanity.
Passing the ignorance ensures the struggle for my family
We're hungry beware of our appetite.
Distant drums bring the news of a kill tonight.
The kill which I share with my passengers.
We take our fill, take our fill, take our fill.
I stand firm for our soil
Lick a rock on foil
Say reduce me, seduce me,
Dress me up in Stussy.
Confused by different memories,
Details of Asian remedies
Conversations, of what's become of enemies.
My brain thinks bomb-like,
So I listen he's a calm type.
As I grow
And as I grow, I grow collective.
Before the move sit on the perspective.
Mr. Kray lay in the crevice
And watches from the precipice.
Empirial passage.
Heat from the sun somedays slowly passes,
Until then, you have to live with yourself
Until then, you have to live with yourself
I stand firm for our soil
Lick a rock on foil
Say reduce me, seduce me,
Dress me up in Stussy.
Martina :
Hell is round the corner where I shelter.
Ism's and schisms, we're living helter skelter
If you believe and deceive common sense says shouldn't receive
Let me take you down the corridors.
Tricky :
My brain thinks bomb-like, bomb-like
My brain thinks bomb-like, bomb-like, bomb-like
My brain thinks bomb-like,
Beware of our appetite.

Tricky & Neneh Cherry :
Had you in me, had you in me,
Had you in me, had you in me,
In me, in me.
Sick of what i feel, sick of being real
Better stay clear or I might hijack a plane
I'm getting sick of what i feel, sick of being real
You better stay clear cos im about to blow the fuck up
Neneh Cherry :
Soap on my body's gonna make me clean,
Giving birth makes me scream,
See my light (life?) pass before me as i drown in the shadow under my
Bubble bath,
A forced laugh a forged autograph,
First my body,
Now my corpse
I exercise daily...love my sports
I need when i concieve,
I sow seed, I can see no remourse,
Tricky & Neneh Cherry : X2
I had you in me
Had you in me
You in me
In me
Sick of what i feel
Sick of being real
Better stay clear or I might hijack a plane
I'm getiing sick of what i feel
Sick of being real
You better stay clear cos im about to blow the fuck up
Tricky : I'm liquid
Neneh Cherry :
Serving speed, self deceit,
I teased you now youre tame,
Put treacle on your tummy to keep you sticky when i steal,
I take from you i hate for you
You fools who feel free (?)
You look like a little somebody looking for something

Tricky :
Here we go again so tricky going flow again,
Those chicken cluckers is fakin pop in others,
Breed to sons and deform college,
D all the time you know we be bionic,
Skeezers make me paranoid smokin' hydroponic,
Shutting down one half of my brain, paralyzes one half of my body,
Now in need of a walk-in chain of McDonald's,
For those chicken cluckers whose fakin' pop in others,
Here we go again you know we know the flow again,
Here we go again you know we know the flow again,
Here we go again you know we know the flow again.
Roberto Malary Jr. :
It's the one-two-three on you're mark get set go,
I'm gonna show you how to flow,
So take notes from a pro,
Original is what best describes me i'm rough like,
Football or hockey so don't try to stop me
'Cause when i'm on the roll i'm rollin' up with a crew,
Rollin' up philly blunts and gettin'drunk off the brews,
Showin' mad skills like the Shaolin temple,
Not kung-fu but kickin'styles from my mental,
My brain is overflowin' with words and phrases,
And titles and concepts on how to catch wreck, ha!,
I take my rhymes and my beats,make sure they fit perfect,
Like a glove so it can sound lovely but ah yeah I gotcha open,
I know I gotcha open like the weed that your smokin'
Once you start chokin'-you're provokin',
Me to blow your rhymes out the frame so when a sucka's walkin' funny,
ha!,
You know that i'm to blame because a slap is whatcha get,
I suppose more than a broken nose you catch about five toes.
Tricky :
Here we go again so tricky going flow again,

Mothers breed to sons and deform college,
D all the time you know we be bionic,

Shutting down inside of my brain, paralyzes is one side of my body
I'm need of a walk-in chain of McDonald's for those
Chicken cluckers whose fakin' pop in,
You know we be bionic,

Trendy windy you know what i mean
Hangin around with girl who's rolling up her jeans
She watches her street crack cause she's no dummy
Through rockin the microphone and she's calling me honey
Says i know what i want don't move with thugs
Well house parties hip hop and smoking drugs
And whoever's been the boss she's down with 'em
She's always on time cause the girl got rhythm
To avoid a complication i'll give some information
About a certain occasion under a ???
'Cause when I host my show-a i avoid the girl called lola
Who's more pu-pu-public than the drink they call it coca cola
I'm just practice posing face is shaded in black
Is dominating as my color the massive attack
Right now i hit it kick it flow smooth hit little wicked
Tricky
I take a small step now it's a giant stride
People say I'm loud why should I hide
Only had a small taste so what a waste
I quietly observe though it's not my space
Bottom ends heavy you know we're never even
People call me Tricky for particular reason
I've got you see and i've got to let you know
See we're rockin' in your area rock beneath your balcony
My baby just cares for me well that's funny
Her touch tickles especially on my tummy
Daddy G
Now who's got the microphone
Tricky
Now who's honey
Daddy G

I be daddy g wild bunch crew at large
Don't call a officer just call me a sarge
Mashing up the country and also abroad
Plan to go to america when i get a visa card
Tricky
But gettin a visa card nowadays isn't hard
Daddy G
So keep your ears glued listen to every ???
Tokyo city's one place that we toured
Four ??? plus two makes a ???
Sharper than a wilkerson razor sword
When I was a child i played ??? one
My table then i graduate to studio one
And around my neck you know i wear the sony budokan
Indigo blues you got me in my own shoes
The people dancing in the shape for what they make
They can't lose
Yes waxing lyrical but this time it's not satirical
It's kinda spherical so jam me in a ???
This is the miracle of the dubplate dub selection
Daddy G
So whether you're black white or half-caste in your complection
Yes pull out your phono plug and tuck you in your phony
It's started by my ??? resumed by sony
A summary of ??? a history and only
The massive attack ???

Get away with your guns now

I know what you see X5
Wanted with me
Suffocate me with a notion
Deserve me with devotion
Wanted with me X2
Why are we not talkin'
Why are we not speakin'
No words can describe
Inside, inside, I know what we need
I wish life was as simple as 1-2-3, as you and me
So long since I surrender
So long you I remember
It's your turn to fight the things they say
Even though we stay underneath different roofs
Today today today
I know what you see
Wanted with me
Strangle me with the notion
Twisted in my devotion
Wanted with me X2
(While your sleeping bag)??
Bare-faced like a bear
No words can describe
So why, so why, why does it feel
I wish life was as simple as 1-2-3, as you and me
So long since I surrender
So long you I remember
It's your turn to fight the things they say
Even though we stay underneath different roofs
Wanted with me X2
Suffocate me with emotion
Deserve me with devotion
Wanted with me X2
Why are we not talkin'
Why are we not speakin'
So long since I surrencer
So long you I remember
It's your turn to fight the things they say
Even though we stay underneath different roofs
Are there no words to describe
Inside, inside, I know...
Wanted with me
Why won't you listen to me
Suffocate me with emotion
Deserve me with devotion
So long since I surrender
So long you I remember
It's your turn to fight the things they say
Even though we stay underneath different roofs
So long since I...
So long...

So what you gonna do,
It's me that's haunting you
It's me you'll have to face
On judgement day
Are you gonna get releived
And never let you rest in peace
Lookin forward till the end
It's better we die frail
Have to cleanse my soul
Straight away your god
I can't wait until you die
I can't wait to meet you there
Organize the pian
Come riding on the train
Organize the colors
The sweetest and the others
Judgement day...
Can't wait to meet you there
You lie and so do i.
You lie and so do i.
On judgement day
So what you gonna do,
It's me that's haunting you
It's me you'll have to face
Judgement day
Are you gonna get release
I'll never let you rest in peace
Lookin forward till the end
It's better we die frail
Have to cleanse my soul
Straight away your god
I can't wait until you die
I can't wait to meet you there
Organize the hate
Ride on as the train
Organize the colors
The sweetest and the others
Judgement day, is judgement day
You lie and so do i.
You lie and so do i.

So you like to desmise with your pen
I was the same
I was the same back when
Then and now, I wanna change
But don't know how
Do's and don'ts - don'ts I don't like
She's not Tina and I'm not like Ike
But what was Ike like
Is Ike what you write
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
We'll disarm ya, ask Julian Palmer
Only joking, too much smoking
But it's ok, it's ok
We've been through too much yesterday
Tell you what we're gonna do
They'll protect me from me, I'll protect from you
By any means by any means
By any means by any means
Please won't you try
Stop me talking like a tough guy
Subject matter's love
Subject matter's love
What would I need another enemy
I know I love you
I can feel you in my energy
I'm too scared to be a gun totting
Gangster wanna-be
I've got too much love, too much love
Met you on mondalay
Inside of me
Or next week
If I'm tina I guess I'm weak
Big take
Making my head ache
Big take
Making my head ache
It's not your fault
You don't understand
Take our hand
We give
So don't be negative
You don't feel the
'Cause you feel yourself
Stuck up in your own head
Leave that 'till I'm dead
What do I think

Dear God
I hat to be a bother, but I gotta say
This world is getting crazier with every day
I hope You'll hear me out now as I stop and pray
Dear God
People take your words and try to twist them round
I know You can't be happy with what's goin' down
I'm searchin' for some answers, but they can't be found
Can You help me out, dear God?
Dear God
Just the other night I heard somebody say
What's the use believin' in You anyway?
I guess it was just heartache talkin' through the pain
It's a cryin' shame
Dear God
I know You're disappointed in the things we've done
Can't they see the truth that they're all running from?
Try to preach You message with a loaded gun
What they thinkin' of, dear God
Everybody's searching for an easy solution
They can't see beyond, the selfish world they're living in
Your words of love get lost, in all the confusion, yes they do
But I still believe, someday you're gonna speak to me
Dear God
I know You've got a million other calls to take
You're dealing with a lot of things that just won't wait
But there is one request that I just gotta make
Dear God
Won't You send a sign down, just to ease my doubt?
I'm trying to hear You, but the silence is so loud
I think I see a rainbow from behind the clouds

I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming
Way that we say 'em in style that we raid 'em in
Massive attack we keep it strong just like a vitamin
Going for the positive wiping out the negative songs
'Cause brother it's relative
The ??? is pickup all the lyrics on the dancefloor
To raise your spirit level cause it demands more
Tricky
Attitude is cool degrees below zero
Up against the wall behaving like deniro
Tricky's performing taking his photo
Make him stand with a tan touch it like cocoa
Smooth keep it moving at the back now
Free as the needle that's movnig through the track now
Hands keep the drummer's beats we need new sticks
Dance around the vibes like acoustics
No drugs or pharmaceuticals for the body ain't suitable
Stick with liquid me and trick we drop
The paper that you ??? lick with
Tricky trouble and strife ain't no sunshine in my life
Wiseguys get protection when they carry a knife
They shouldn't have been born they're making me yawn
But I just take it easy it's a sunday morning
So you come ???
Together we'll grow forever watch my ak rig go
Daddy G
Because my ak rig goes boom boom
My ak rig goes boom
Yeah rhymin' the jam and uh we got the stamina
Cause you never know it's like we don't give a damn and uh
And it's ??? to keep your distance
Resist and the posse gets the pressure of this dance
The cool breeze that you welcome in the heat
You don't see it but you feel it when it's blowing on the street
Tricky
If i was a rich man
Daddy G
Da da dada
Tricky
I quietly observe standing in my space
It's the devious days they call the rat race
It's a concrete jungle, evil in the town
Weebles, wobble, occasional squabble
But we're happy when the bomb drops
Down
Don't make sound
'Cause the dancefloor's a desert
And the dancers are parched
Do a rain dance and you brace through a marsh
My heavy my brother get lighter than helium
Float above the world to break the tedium
Living in my headphones soul is what i say to 'em
The surreal boom of the budokan stadium
Shara Nelson
Well i'm floating on air when i'm daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space
Tricky
Well i'm tricky kid don't deal with sadness
Can't be with the one i love i love the one that i miss
I'm very down to earth but brain sits on top floor
Don't need another lover just need, i'm insecure
The weather is a-changin' the storms be shakin
The love that you make is equal to the love you're makin
Here comes the sun little darlin here comes the sun
It's alright
Tricky
Yes tricky kid i check my situation
Naggy this maggy that maggy means inflation
Hip-hop you don't stop cause i'm not sloppy
I like the beat so we need another copy
We're natives of the massive territory and i'm proud
Getting peaceful in the desert that the glory and the crowd
The problem ain't a different kind of skin tricks
I love my neighbor and i ??? the olympics
See you a hooligan you try to play the fool again
Tricky
Caught you in the lost and found
When your posse weren't around
Tricky
No crowd
So you're going for you tool again
Shara Nelson
Daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming

Look who do I have to have
And why? A city's child
Real mode, you have to talk about it
An old pro, still we're 'bout it, 'bout it
Don't frown about it
It's best you keep quiet
You could never lead a riot
Money don't make you a leader
Leaders usually reads
Go read a book
He shaked then he shook
I need that crack, I need that crack
You're swingin' the pipe
Do what you like, goin' doom doom
Reflect on the room, reflect on your life
Go stab yourself with a knife
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Vengeance isn't mine
We're taught to hate from time
Time isn't real
How much time can you kill?
Luca Brazzi
He sleeps with the fishes
Fuck Sugar and Spice
And girls with deadly kisses
Purr like a cat
Raising towers
I go over her house
For the most
I got diamonds on suits
A girl's erased diamonds with new shoes
Remember Hollywood?
You could finally make deals
Screamin', nigger you can get these
Stereotypical
Almost mythical
Like Mickey Mouse
I'll blow down your house
Blow up your whole image
Hardcore musicians with image
Love
You're silver screen
You're a hardcore lovin' machine
You play hardcore with me
And sooner or later we'll see
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?

Tricky/B.Davis/R. Walters
My defenses
Become fences
Now I'm stumblin'
I change my faces
And if you think I'm fake-up
Wait around til I take off my makeup
Here we go again
I meet another one
Her name is...
She looks at me, says I'm the only one
(Chorus)
I met a Christian in Christiansands
A devil in Helsinki
I met a Christian in Christiansands
A devil in Helsinki
Is it getting better?
Wrote her a letter
Asking questions
Baby steps in sections
I mean we'll take it slow
I really don't know
When you talk, you make me cringe
Silver means the messenger
Let her go, don't question her
(Chorus)
You and me
What does that mean?
Always
What does that mean?
Forever
What does that mean?
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime, I create my own
By my own
You and me
What does that mean?
Always
What does that mean?
Forever
What does that mean?
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language

Once upon a time not long ago,
When people wore pajamas and lived life slow,
When laws were stern and justice stood,
And people were behavin' like they ought ta good,
There lived a lil' boy who was misled,
By another little boy and this is what he said:
"Me & you tonight are gonna make some cash,
Robbin' old folks and makin' tha dash",
They did the job, money came with ease,
But one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease,
He robbed another and another and a sista and her brotha,
Tried to rob a man who was a D.T. undercover,
The cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic,
He said "Keep still, boy, no need for static",
Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap,
But little did he know the little boy was strapped,
The kid pulled out a gun, he said "WhyÕd ya hit me ?",
The barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney,
The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure,
"I'll do years if I pull this trigger",
So he cold dashed and ran around the block,
Cop radioes it to another lady cop,
He ran by a tree, there he saw this sister,
A shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her,
Looked around good and from expectations,
So he decided he'd head for the subway stations,
But she was coming and he made a left,
He was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath,
Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him,
Then he made his move to an abandoned building,
Ran up the stairs up to the top floor,
Opened up the door there, guess who he saw?,
Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope,
Who don't know the meaning of water nor soap,
He said "I need bullets, hurry up, run!"
The dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun,
He went outside but there was cops all over,
Then he dipped into a car, a stolen Nova,
Raced up the block doing 83,
Crashed into a tree near a university,
Escaped alive though the car was battered,
Rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered,
Ran out of bullets and still had static,
Grabbed a pregnant lady, got out the automatic,
Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o' lead,
He told the cops "Back off or honey here's dead",
Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong,
So he let the lady go and he starts to run on,
Sirens sounded, he seemed astounded,
Before long the little boy got surrounded,
He dropped the gun, so went the glory,
And this is the way I must end this story,
He was only seventeen, in a madman's dream,
The cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream,
This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh,
Just another case 'bout the wrong path,

I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for the army or whatever
Picture me given' a damn, I said never
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like me and myself
Because they never did
I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute...
It occured to me
The suckers had authority
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell
How long has it been?
They got me sittin' in the state pen
I gotta get out, but that thought was thought before
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
I'm not a fugitive on the run
But a brother like me begun, to be another one
Public enemy servin' time, they drew the line y'all
To criticize me some crime
I got a letter, I got a letter, I got a letter
Picture me given' a damn, I said never

Many switch in, switch on, switch off X5

Nevertheless they cannot understand
That I'm a black man, and I could never be a veteran.
On the strength of situations, I'm real.
I got a raw deal, so I'm lookin' for the steel
Looking for the steel.

But a brother like me begun, to be another one
Public enemy servin' time, they drew the line y'all
To criticize me some crime
I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for the army or whatever
Picture me given' a damn, I said never
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like me and myself
Because they never did
I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute...
I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for the army or whatever
Picture me given' a damn, I said never

This is a matter of utmost urgency
You might even call it a police emergency
Suckers got ill when they finally heard the G
Wasn't sellin' out, they tried to murder me
Reached for my jammy like a troop's supposed to do
Never let a sucker get too close to you
Heard 'em comin', ducked behind the wall
Then saw the whites of his eyes, the first one had to fall
Another bug creeped up the fire escape
Trying to sneak, I guess he snuck too late
Lookin' like a scene from Real Life Vice
The way his head fell apart like a block of solid ice
Uzi does it, come to think of it
Dude had a nine, but his wasn't as fast as mine
I heard the phone ring, should I answer?
This is gettin' serious as terminal cancer
And that is the final stage, my primal rage
Began to rise and I started to fantasize
How many more might try to rush the door
And blast their way in, hell, I ain't stayin'
I opened the back door and felt the summer night heat
Saw a bunch of bugs wearin' white sheets
What else could it mean? I know it ain't Halloween
The cross in the background burnin' made a ill scene
First I was panicky, then I was angry
One creep even had a rope ready to hang me
Now who am I supposed to be? Eddie Spaghetti?
You come and vic Rob G any time you're ready?
Fuck that, they had me trapped so I rushed back
They tried to bust me but they don't have enough caps
I dipped, dived, slipped, slid, they missed me
I had to move quick or they was bound to get me
One bullet grazed me, that didn't phase me
What could I say? I was havin' a fucked up day
Stood up and took aim, my finger on the trigger
I shouted "Now let me hear you say nigger!"
Well anyway, nobody spoke or went for broke
The place was all clouded up from gunsmoke
And everything got quiet, I don't buy it
Just a second ago we had a riot
They must be plannin' attack or settin' a trap
Whatever the case you won't get this black
Now I'm on the edge and there's no denyin' it
Whatever the hell might work I'm tryin' it
Thought I was a target that they could get right quick
But I ain't goin' out like no statistic
Another number, made me wonder
How many other brothers they've put under
I sat in the dark real still for a long time
Didn't make a sound cos I've got a strong mind
Made my way to the street, it was daybreak
Must've fallen asleep, but for Pete's sake
I didn't see the enemy trying to put an end to me
The night before, my finger trigger was sore
I went in the house to get a fresh clip
And then I woke up an' shit

(Tricky and A. Smith -> Aka Ambersunshower ) ...
Ambersunshower :
She's been waiting for that special someone
Anguished by the tears left behind them
Fortifying all that lying
Putrid taste left in her mouth
Chorus :
(Ambersunshower sings while Tricky raps)
Ambersunshower :
Follow me, follow me
Down
Follow me, follow me
Down
Tricky :
Yeah, c'mon
Let's do the maniac
Maniac, bumping like a brainiac
Brainiac, I don't remember [?]
Land me down, touch me down at heathrow
Reach down, the first time I ever feel
Bouncers [face?] on 57th st
Calm down, I feel a cool breeze and
Not particular
I think I found a reason
[For I saw?] what I saw
Ambersunshower :
She's been waiting for that special someone
But then look what she's got left
Fortifying all that lyingputrid taste left in her mouth
Chorus :
(Ambersunshower sings while Tricky raps)
Ambersunshower :
Follow me, follow me
Down
Follow me, follow me
Down
Tricky :
Yeah, c'mon
Let's do the maniac
Maniac, bumping like a brainiac
Brainiac, I don't remember [?]
Land me down, touch me down at heathrow
Reach down, the first time I ever feel
Bouncers [face?] on 57th st
Calm down, I feel a cool breeze and
Not particular
I think I found a reason
[For I saw?] what I saw
A: contamination cramps the surface
blood runs cooler than you flow
she is hiding smiles behind whispers and tears
chaos reaches higher ground
Ambersunshower :
Chaos, chaos, chaos
Ambersunshower :
Follow me, follow me
Down
Follow me, follow me
Down

I can picture it now
You in your car
Left the bar
Playing big part
Keep up complainin?
It?s probably rainin?
Keeping complaining
It?s probably raining
You?re gonna visit your car
It?s one of my peeps
With a blow to your head
Is that what you need?
You?re probably bleeding
Is that what you needed?
You?re probably bleeding
Just like a movie
Just like a movie
Just like a movie
Life doesn?t move me
Life doesn?t move me
I keep with you now
Here in your car
Left the bar
Playing the big part
Keeping complaining
It?s probably raining
It?s one of my peeps
With a blow to your head
Is that what you needed?
What you needed
What you needed
You caught me breathing
It?s just like a movie
Life?s just like a movie
It?s like a movie
Just like a movie
It doesn?t move me
Move me, move me
It doesn?t move me
Life doesn?t move
It doesn?t move me
Move me
It?s like a blow to the head
It?s like a blow to my head
It doesn?t move me
Move me, move me
Move me
It doesn?t move me
It?s like a movie
Just like a movie
Blow to the head
Life?s like a blow to the head
What you needed
What you needed
What you needed
Life?s like a blow to the head
It?s that what you needed
Is that what you needed?
What you needed
A blow to the head
Move me, move me
It doesn?t move
It doesn?t move
It?s like a movie
Movie, movie
Just like a movie
It doesn?t move me
