B i o g r a p h y Originally, Tricky was a member of the Wild Bunch, a Bristol-based rap troupe that eventually metamorphosed into Massive Attack during the early '90s. Tricky provided pivotal raps on Massive Attack's groundbreaking 1992 album, Blue Lines. The following year, he released his debut single, "Aftermath." Before he recorded "Aftermath," he met a teenage vocalist named Martina, who would become his full-time musical collaborator; all albums released under Tricky's name feature her contributions. Tricky signed a contract with 4th & Broadway in 1994. The contract contained a clause which allowed him to release side projects under different names, in addition to regular Tricky releases. "Ponderosa" and "Overcome" were released over the course of 1994; that same year, he made a cameo on Massive Attack's second album, Protection. Tricky's debut album, Maxinquaye, appeared in the spring of 1995. Not only did the album receive overwhelmingly positive reviews when it was released, but it entered the U.K. charts at number two, despite the total lack of daytime radio airplay. Throughout 1995, Tricky was omnipresent in the U.K., collaborating with and remixing for a wide variety of artists, including Björk, Luscious Jackson, and Whale. In the fall of 1995, he released Tricky Vs. the Gravediggaz, a collaboration with the American hardcore rap group, as well as a single called "I Be the Prophet," which was released under the name Starving Souls. At the end of the year, Maxinquaye topped many year-end polls in Britain, including Melody Maker and NME. In February of 1996, Nearly God — an album featuring Tricky's collaborations with artists as diverse as Terry Hall, Björk, Alison Moyet, and Neneh Cherry — was released, again to strong reviews; the album was released in the U.S. six months later. After completing the second full-fledged Tricky album, he relocated to New York City early in 1996, where he began working with underground rappers. An EP called Grassroots was released in the U.S. in September. Two months later, Tricky's official second album, Pre-Millenium Tension, was released. Again, Tricky received positive reviews, though there were a few dissenting opinions. In addition to his three releases of 1996, he remixed artists as diverse as Elvis Costello, Garbage, Yoko Ono, and Bush. Tricky's next full-length solo effort, Angels With Dirty Faces, appeared in 1998, followed a year later by Juxtapose, a collaboration with Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs and DMX's Grease. In 2001, Tricky returned with the Mission Accomplished EP, which was released by Epitaph's subsidiary label Anti. Blowback, his first for Hollywood Records, appeared later that June and included various collaborations with Hawkman, Live's Ed Kowalczyk, and Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis and John Frusciante. |

Overcome
Martina :
You sure you want to be with me?
I've nothing to give.
Won't lie and say this loving's best
Whoa, leave us in emotional peace
Mmm, take a walk take a rest, a taste of this.
Don't wanna be on top of your list,
Monopoly improperly kissed
We overcome in sixty seconds 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 X7
You and her, walking through the suburbs
No, not exactly lovers
You're a couple, 'specially when your bodies double.
Duplicate and then you wait
For the next Kuwait.
Karmacoma X6
Jamaican aroma, karmacoma
You sure you want to be with me? I've nothing to give.
Won't lie and say this loving's best
Whoa, leave us in emotional peace
Mmm, take a walk take a rest, a taste of this.
Don't wanna be on top of your list,
Monopoly improperly kissed
Overcome in sixty seconds 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.

Martina :
The place where... X6
Tricky:
...Where I stand
Martina:
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
Tricky:
Uhh...
Martina:
The mighty crowd-
Martina and Tricky:
Search for their spaces
Martina:
And turn around time's gone-
Martina and Tricky:
Take ten paces.
Martina:
Been up ahead -
Martina and Tricky:
Can't make head or tail of it
Martina:
I drink till I'm drunk-
Martina and Tricky:
And I smoke till I'm senseless.
Martina:
You see in black and white
Martina and Tricky:
Feel in slow motion
Martina:
I drown myself in sorrow
Martina and Tricky:
Until I wake up tomorrow.
The illusion of confusion
Martina:
It's not from where I am sat
Tricky :
Recircle recycle resemble me
Martina :
Different levels of the devil's company
Tricky:
Yeah x3
Martina:
They lead us outside-
Martina and Tricky:
Take us out quietly
Martina:
To the cage through the bars-
Martina and Tricky:
You
see scars-results of my rage
Martina:
The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
(gives way to)
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino
(underneath the...there lies a weeping)
The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
(the place where...gives...liquid)
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino
(underneath the...there lies a weeping)
The mighty crowd search for their spaces
(the illusion of confusion...search for...)
And turn around time's gone, I take ten paces.
(turn around...gone, i take ten paces)
Been up ahead - can't make head or tail of it
(can't make head or tail of it)
I drink 'till I'm drunk, and I smoke till I'm senseless.
(I smoke, I smoke, I smoke)
You see in black and white, feel in slow motion,
(feel in slow slow motion, and drown drown myself in sorrow)
I drown myself in sorrow, until I wake up tomorrow
(till i wake up tomorrow, the illusion of, the illusion of)
I drown myself in sorrow, until I wake up tomorrow
(the illusion of, the illusion of)
I drown myself in, I drown myself in
(the illusion of...until I, until I wake up tomorrow)
The illusion of confusion is not from where I am sat
(it's not from where I'm...circle)

Black steel
Martina :
I got a letter from the government
The other day
Opened it and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me givin' a damn, I said never
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like myself
Because I never did
I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute...
It occurred 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
They criticize me for some crime
I got a letter, I got a letter, I got a letter
Picture me given' a damn, I said never
Mmm...mmm...mmm

Tricky :
Many switch in, switch on, switch off X5
Martina :
Nevertheless they could not 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.
I got a letter from the government

Hell is round the
corner
Tricky :
I stand firm for a soil
I lick a rock off foil
So reduce me, seduce me,
Dress me up in Stüssy.
Hell is round the corner where I shelter.
Isms and schisms, we're living on a skelter
If you believe I'll deceive common sense says you are thief
Let me take you down the corridors of my life.
Tricky and Martina:
And when you walk, do you walk to your preference
No need to answer 'till...
Tricky:
I take further evidence.
I seem to need a reference to get residence
A reference to your preference to say,
I'm a good neighbour, I trudge,
So judge me for my labour,
Lobotomy ensures my good behavior
The constant struggle ensures my insanity.
Passing the indifference 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 a feel.
I stand firm for a soil
I lick a rock off foil
So reduce me, seduce me,
Dress me up in Stüssy.
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. Quail's in the crevice
And watches from the precipice.
Imperial passage.
Heat from the sun someday slowly passes,
Until then, you have to live with yourself
Until then, you have to live with yourself
I stand firm for a soil
Lick a rock off foil
So reducee me, seduce me,
Dress me up in Stüssy.
Martina :
Hell is round the corner where I shelter.
Isms and schisms, we're living a skelter
If you believe I'll deceive and common sense says you are the thief
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.
*** A BIG thanx to Kitty

Pumpkin
Alison Goldfrapp:
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
Tricky:
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
Alison Goldfrapp:
To a hollow kind,don't mind
Love is some of you
Don't dabble in fall of failure
How bad,ooh,ooh
Tricky and Alison Goldfrapp:
I smell of she and I fail to be
Well anyway,well anyway,well anyway
Alison Goldfrapp:
See how high
Go on
Tricky:
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
Well anyway, well anyway

The world revolves for,for someone
For him, for she
The world revolves for, for someone
For him for me
Martina & Tricky :
Your eyes resemble mine, you see as no others can
Here inherit my kingdom, speak of our people's plan
I'll be here for my baby, for my baby I'll be near
So many things I need to tell you, things she needs to hear
Martina :
So this is the aftermath

Tricky and Martina:
Fuck you in, tuck you in, suck you in
"Then you fly
You fly as fast as you can to baby Jesus!"
(from the film The Rapture)
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
I snort the cheap thrills
*** Thanx to Elliott

Brand
new you're retro
Tricky :
We know, yes we know
It's my ego on fantastic.
But still, you're fuckin' with my plastic
Dedicated, medicated,
They bend and break me
Overrate me
I take a small piece and make it breathe
It takes a second for a record 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 walks with the crew
You'd better back the fuck up 'cause you're not alone
You're a motherfucker 'cause you're not alone
If 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, what you know I's joking?
What the fuck are you doin'?
You come to represent my attention?
You need more than a mic 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
Be careful of the faces you're seeing
A dread of the past and fear of the future
That's maniacal, 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, what you know I's joking?
What the fuck are you doin'?
You come to represent my attention?
You need more than a mic 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)
Brand new, you're retro. (x3)
Brand new, you're retro. (x3)
Brand new, you're retro. (x3)
*** Thanx a lot to Eddie who corrected a mistake for this one ***
Tricky:
It's too good
It's too nice
She makes me finish too quick
Is it love?
No not love
She turns me sexual tricks
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
Martina:
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...
Tricky:
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
Martina:
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...
Tricky:
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.
Martina:
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
Tricky:
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 finish too quick
Is it love?
No not love
She turns me sexual tricks
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
Martina:
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 X2

You don't
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 :

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.

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

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

Martina:
We found a new place to live where we're taught to grow strong
And strongly sensitive, it always sets the scenery
Colors leave only beauty, words and wine amongst the greenery
See how it is X2
The only lessons you teach us from a margin
They ask my origin
The only lessons you teach us from a margin
They ask my origin, it's a moral sin, it's a moral sin
Extract from crystal though nothing is clear
I despise you, damn you, dream you
I love you
But still nothing is clear
I think of when i found you
You keep on singin while I'm drowning
Down into that two-tone vision
I've been raised in this place
And now concrete is my religion
See how it is X4
The only lessons you teach us from a margin
You ask my origin
The only lessons you teach us from a margin
They ask my origin
The only lesson you teach us, wrong and right
You ask my origin
The only lesson you teach us, wrong and right
They ask my origin, it's a moral sin, it's a moral sin

Colour me, colour me
When you're sitting all alone
In the middle of the floor
There's something uncontrollable,
As you sit down watching the door
Colour me, colour me
I really feel ill,
Tattoo you're bad side
Slap your thigh,
Slap your cuff
Sing your mantra,
Leave your walk,
Colour me, colour me
Something fierce along my spine
To scare the lovin' from behind
Fortify my arms
Fortify my arms
Colour me, colour me
When you're sitting all alone in the middle of the floor,
There's something uncontrollable,
As you sit down watching the door
Colour me, colour me
I really feel ill,
Tattoo you're bad side
Slap your thigh,
Slap your cuff
Sing your mantra,
Leave your walk,
Colour me, colour me
Something fits along my spine
To scare the lovin' from behind
Fortify my...
Fortify my...
Colour me, colour me
Colour me, colour me
Colour me
Something fits in the middle of the floor,
There's something uncontrollable,
You sit down watching the door
Colour me, colour me
I really feel ill,
Tattoo you're bad side
Slap your thigh,
Slap your cuff
Your mantra,
Leave your walk,
Colour me, colour me
Something fits along my spine
To scare the lovin' from behind
Fortify my arms
Fortify my arms
Colour me, colour me
*** Thanx a lot to Elliot for this one ***
Tricky :
I can vibe to anything
Do I have to hide from everything?
Everybody wants a piece of me
Reach their 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 walk 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
But first I learn to see myself
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
Terry Hall :
I ruse 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
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
Promised me poems
Martina :
Dreamed of ringing voices,
And contemplated choices.
Taste like a real kiss,
To heighten my awareness.
With all fairness, greatness with gratitude.
And simply riled with attitude
Now do promotion on TV, and ya still can't see.
We're down the hill cascade
And keep away the masquerade,
Dreamed of ringing voices,
And you promised me poems
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
*** Thanx a lot to Elliot for this one ***
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
It's us now, it's us now...

One, one, two
One, one, two
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'll never know a sunday
In this weekday room
I'm talking to the shadows
One o'clock till four
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
My Sunday dreams too dry
They say a man is born to go a lovin'
And a woman is born to weep and fret
To stay at home
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes
I'm moody all the morning
Moody all night
And in between I drink
Black coffee
Black coffee
Bubbles
Terry Hall :
The first hundred years are the toughest
On this bubble
An open sky, flying high
Take a bride, get some trouble
Tricky :
The first one will do
I'm just passing through
The second one needs more
I've been here before
I've been here before
I've been here before
Terry Hall :
Springtime falls, summer calls
You slip and slide until you hit december
Believe my eyes, they'll bleed you dry
If I wasn't a genius
I'd lose my temper
Tricky :
The first one will do
Just passing through
The second one needs more
I've been here before
I've been here before
Wanna make me weak while you cry
It's not such a thing,because still you die
Gotta go I get high
Gotta go I get high
Deceiver deceived us
And I deceived them
Carry my troubles home
Married with the humble home
Terry Hall :
The first hundred years are the toughest
on getting smothered
Life is just one bloody thing
After another

I'll find how to get after you
(And I will do for you)

I'll send light-this sad soul laments
It can tell that I love,so I waste

Judas
Tricky and Martina:
Is simplicity best
Or simply the easiest
The narrowest path
Is always the holiest
So walk on bare feet 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 conditions
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 idle 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
If you want my love
If you want my love
*** Thanx a lot to Elliot for this one ***
( Slick Rick Cover )
Martina:
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're oughta good
There lived a little boy who was misled
By another little boy and this is what he said:
"Me and you tonight are gonna make some cash
Robbin' old folks and makin' the 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 a sister and a brother
Tried to rob a man who was a duty 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 the gun, he said "Why'd 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 radios it to another lady cop
He ran by a tree, there he saw the sister
A shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her
Looked around due to 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 out of 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 he 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 the 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 have to 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
Straight and narrow while your soul gets cash
*** Thanx a lot to Elliot for this one ***
Official Lyrics !!!! ( except
Ghetto Youth )
Thanx a lot to Alessio who send me the
Japanese Booklet
& me who listened again to each song and corrected the mistakes !!
Tricky:
She's the one makes me feel these ways
He's the one need sun rays
Can't stand to feel
Hate to feel
Gone insane
High jack a plane
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
Trying hard not to loose my head
Can't hardly breathe
I've been and seen
She hides my Ventolin
Can't hardly breathe
Can't hardly breathe
Can't hardly breathe
Martina:
( I'm the one ), I'm the one
( Who hides his medicine ), Who hides his medicine
( Watch him stop breathe ), 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 all live happy ever after ), And we all live happy ever after
( Can't hardly breathe ), Can't hardly breathe
Can't hardly breathe
Can't hardly breathe
Can't hardly breathe
And we all sing together now
Can't hardly breathe
Christiansands
Tricky:
My defences
Tricky & Martina :
Become fences
Tricky:
Now I'm stumbling
Tricky & Martina :
I change my face up
And if you think i'm fake up
Wait around till I take off my make-up
Here we go again
I meet another one
Her name is
She looks at me
Says I'm the only one
Martina :
I met a Christian in Christiansands
And a devil in Helsinki
I met a Christian in Christiansands
And a devil in Helsinki
Tricky:
Is it getting better?
Tricky & Martina :
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 to the messenger
I let her go don't question her
Martina :
I met a Christian in Christiansands
And a devil in Helsinki
I met a Christian in Christiansands
And a devil in Helsinki
Tricky:
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 mean time I'll create my own
Buy my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the mean time I'll create my own
You and me, what does that mean?
Always, what does that mean?
Forever, what does that mean?

And in the meantime I'll create my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime I'll create 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
And in the meantime I'll create my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime I'll create my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language

*** Thanx a lot to him & Tyler for this one ***
This is a matter of utmost urgency
You might even call it a policy emergency
Suckers got ill when they finally heard that you
Wasn't sellin' out, they tried to murder me
Reached for my Jenny like a troops supposed to do
Never let a sucker get too close to you
Heard 'em comin' up behind the wall
They saw the whites of his eyes, the first one had to fall
Another burn creeped up the fire escape
Trying to sneak, I guess he snuck too late
Lookin' like a scene from Real Life Vice
So when his head fell apart like a block of solid ice
Him easy does it, come to think of it
Deep paranoid 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 grass their warrior, hell, I ain't stayin'
I opened the back door and felt the sunlight
Summer night heat saw a bunch of bulbs
Wearin' white sheets, what else could it mean ?
I know it ain't Halloween
The cross in the background burnin' made an ill scene
First I was panicky, then I was angry
Funky people had a rope ready to hang me
Now who am I supposed to be? Eddie Spagetti?
You come Vic Rob G. anytime 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 faze me
What could I say? I was havin' a fucked up day
Stood and took aim, my finger on the trigger
I shouted "Now let me hear you say nigger!"
Well anyway, nobody spoke I went for a broke
The place was all clouded up from gun smoke
Then everything got quite, I don't buy it
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 but they could get right quite
But I ain't goin' out like no statistic
Another number, made me wonder
How many other brothers they 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 day break
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 in shit
It's just a bad dream
Makes me
wanna die
She makes me wanna die
Follow where Mary goes
Cherish the things she knows
Says if I change my stride
Then I 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 uni-verse
You know it's ironic
Smoking hydroponic
She makes me wanna die
And change my stride
Then I fly
She makes me wanna die
Follow where Mary goes
Cherish the things she knows
Says if I change my stride
Then I fly
And change my stride
Then I 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 uni-verse
You know

Sex drive
Tricky :
What you wanna do with your sex drive?
Wait for your soul to catch up with me
Conquer feed lay seed
I talk to him
I want to lie
She looks at me
I wonder high
Wanna be rich and fat
How do I validate that?
A man with my eyes makes me feel like a mouse
Do I retaliate and do that ?
Can I rest my head on your chest and dribble
You know the rules I squeeze you wriggle
Pain is somewhere on the line
Pain is somewhere on the line
It takes courage and strength to be single
When you get older your body won't move so good
You won't learn so quick
The best time for a relationship
I know this she-kid in Moscow
I said if you're in love let go of my hand now
The older i get the more confused i am
The older i get the older i am
Damn it! Jesus
They want more players like Cyril Regis
Damn it! Jesus
They want more players like Cyril Regis
Martina :
Your paranoid so I walk 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 gutter snipe
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
I don't carry music on my shoulder
You think i'm a wild Terrier
But I'm the one who can afford to live in your area
Tricky:
The more confused I am
The older I get, the older I am
Damn it! Jesus
They want more players like Cyril Regis
Choose me if,
I wish I didn't feel
I wanna do bad things and then we're one again
I wanna do bad in those movies
They say squeeze never pull it
Muscles wrapped around the bullet
Me here say your big broad and tall
Ok, let me make a phone call
I'd rather you float down the river sea
Voodoo he for fucking around with my privacy
I wish I didn't feel
I want to do bad things
And then we're one again X2
And then we're one again X2
I wanna do bad things in the movies
They never squeeze, never pull it
Muscles wrap round the bullet
Me here say your big broad and tall
Get at me, make a phone call
I'd rather you float down that river-sea
Voodoo he for fucking around with my privacy
Would you like to see me through be a winner?
I'd probably buy a brother dinner
I'd rather speak another language
You know she's my toasted sandwich
Be careful of food
She's egotistical
i'm rude
And it's all about me X2
My fucking name
I'm the one again
It's you to say i'm nice
Don't wanna ask twice
Wanna break those chains
Make the whole world know
Wanna break those chains
Make the whole world know my fucking name
And I break those chains
They don't wanna know my fucking name
And I'm born again
And it's you to say I'm nice
Don't wanna ask twice
Wanna give the poor riches
Why don't you stop saying bitches
Wanna be good
Wanna be a homeboy from the hood
Pretend I'm from America
and this is Blues
Chief of the Cherokee
Wanna break those chains
Make the whole world know my fucking name
And I'm one again
And I'm the one again
Its you to say I'm nice
Don't wanna ask twice
I'll giving the poor all the riches
I'll never just stop saying bitches
Wanna be good
Wanna be a homeboy from the hood
Pretend I'm from America
Pretend this is Blues
Chief of the Cherokee X3
I wish I didn't feel
I wanna do bad things
I wish I didn't feel
I wanna do bad things
And then we're one again X4
I wanna do bad in those movies
They say squeeze never pull it
Muscles, muscles wrapped around the bullet
Lyrics of
fury
I waited ahh
This is a warning,
you'd better void,
Poets are paranoid, DJ's destroyed,
'Cause I came back to attack religious 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;
Temper like an alcoholic, muscles tighten up,
What's that lighten up, you see a cipher,
Suddenly you feel like you're in a horror flick,
You grab your heart and wish for tomorrow quick.
Music's a clue, when I come you're gone,
Apocalypse Now, when I come, you're gone.
Haven't you ever heard of a MC-murderer?
This is the death penalty,and I'm serving her
Death wish, so come on, step to this
Hysterical idea for a lyrical perfectionist
Friday the thirteenth, walking down Elm Street,
You come in my rhyme you get beat,
This is off limits, so your visions all blurry,
All you see is the meters of volume pumping
Lyrics of fury
Terror in the styles, never error-files,
They be unknown in exile
For those that oppose to be level or next to this
I ain't the devil and this ain't the exorcist.
Worse than a nightmare, you don't have to sleep a wink,
The pains the migraines every time you think,
Flashbacks into fear, you start to hear:
The R-A-K-I-M in your ear;
Then the beat is hysterical,
That make the Erical
Get the axe to chop the wax
Through the lyrical for madness fury and
Faces of death remain,
MC's decaying, 'cause they never stay,
The scene of a crime every night at the show,
The fate of a rhyme of a mike that you know,
There's only one capable, breaks-that unbreakable,
Melodies-unmakable, patterns unescapable,
Now hold on if you want the style I possess,
I bless the child, the earth, the god and bomb the rest,
For those who envy an MC it can be,
Hazardous to your health so be friendly,
A matter of life and death, just like a etch-a-sketch,
Shaking you clear, make you 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 disaster recite,
A performance never again performed on a mike
Lyrics of fury.

My evil is

"Well I see it so much

( I see it so much ), I see it, I see it "
Tricky and Martina:
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
One, Two, One, Two, 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 you
Something happened-a car crash
Make you play with a weapon
A gun in your mouth, my voice in your mind
Two 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
Something happened-a car crash
Make you play 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 sunny, the fame, the money
Who am I to say, so you don't even wanto to be a
No, I can't say it, my mouth is like a...
Bitter sweet and twisted, deceitful like I'm gifted
Even Gods God's scared
Even Gods God's scared, men and the things we did
Making children, strong enough to take her one
Are you strong enough to take care of one?
I'm a work on it, pray on it, stay on it
I'm a work on it, pray on it and stay in it
I'm a work on it ,pray on it and stay in it

I lie awake and hate you
Maybe that's enough to make you
Something happened-a car crash
Make you play 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 fifty thousand 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
I'm a work on it, pray on it and stay in it
My funny valentine, I don't find you funny
Seaside, the sunny, the fame, the money
Who am I to say, so you don't even wanto to be a

The moment I feared
Tricky:
Well I'm sittin on my lunch break, grinnin my teeth
It's the last day of the week, boy what a relief
My muscles kind of ache, they felt rigid and stiff
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 eyedrops in my eyes so that no one can tell
Now It's 5:45 almost time for the bell
I'm back on the job, I don't bother no one
I keep strictly to my ways till my job is done
Now it's 5:45 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 words 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 in 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 the park and bought me a thought
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 a little clearer
She said, "You know where we're chillin'?
I said, "I know where that is, just next to my building"
I gave em the information and they I went on my way
Then I went home, and slept til 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 gat and I silenced 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, "Trix 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 snuffed 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..
This was the moment I feared..

For
real
Yeah
You watch too many films
Too many films for real
Some contracts you take too seriously-
Your record deal
A record deal pays bills
Feeds the family
Your profile is too big
How you gonna be a crime family
Too many films are for real
You want to see any films
Films are for real
Don't get me wrong
I know you got guns
And you're not scared to use 'em
But is there money bein' made 'round these guns
Or lives to be losin'
You watch too many films
Films for real
You watch too many films
Too many films for real
Some of these people have to life their life
For real
I don't have to
I got a record deal
For real
You heard
I chill
I smoke herb
Now how about these sexy singers
Sex cards
Two pack girls in a turn
Your fantastic, you supersperm
yeah, i'm a player hater
i hate when players can't take their turn
And when the record company drops me
That's when I learn
It's not for real
It's just passed the time
It's not real
All I do is rhyme
It's not real
It's just passed the time
All I do, all I do is rhyme
You heard you heard
You go Romeo
Girls say you look tall on the video
And the colored girls sing
Give me money, give me money, give me money, give me
money
And no one sings the blues
Everyone sings the greens
Some will say keep you on the prize
How you lose a dream
Who am I to say I don't need cash
In this hundred yard dash
I moved a while ago
And passed through New York
I'll be back in a minute
It's my turn to talk
For real
You heard
For real
You heard
I can grab a mic and wreck it
Make it copesetic
I train my mic
Restrain my mic
You watch too many movies
For real
You watch too many films
Films are for real
You watch too many films
Too many films are for real
You watch too many films

with a word at last to run 'em out
industry- everything under control
none of 'em know who runnin' the show
with the guns and the 'hos
all of them know
when they come to the door i'm on a roll
nigga with the Jungle Heights could flow
with the 'hos in the role for the video
in a great porn show with the flyest girls
buy and sell with the clientele

our hope i don't see riots
this day is a laugh

Tricky :
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
A leader 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
Bob Khaleel :
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

Tricky:
Vengeance isn't mine
It 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
Bob Khaleel :
Love
Tricky :
You're silver screen
You're a hardcore lovin' machine
You play hardcore with me
And sooner or later we'll see

She said, she said, she said, she said
She said she could tempt me
Both in rooms full or empty
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

I Like The Girls
Mad Dog:
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
I light my world to drive her crazy

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)
Mad Dog:
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
Tricky and Mad Dog:

(Whether they're slim or they're short)
I light my world to drive her crazy
(I really don't care)
In the Beamer or a fly Mercedes
(I like the girls)
Gettin' lit up, high on the great weed
(I like the girls)
I like the girls, I like the ladies
(I like the girls)
I light my world to drive her crazy
(With the real long hair)
In the Beamer or a fly Mercedes

Mad Dog:
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 & Gabanna 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
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

Hot like a sauna
Tricky:
Round the corner
Turn the corner, turn
Hell is round the corner
Hot like a sauna
I know i hurt her
When i'd said, "i don't wanna"
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
I told you,"shouldn't run alot"
Now look how much time you got
Told you,"shouldn't run alot"
Now look how much time you got
Mad dog:
Take life on the streets- your own
Made by Grease beats- pure dog
Runnin' with the realest kids of New York
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 and forget gettin' caught
Dogs get mad when niggas stand broke
Come pharaoh
Yo,willy joe
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 sreens, 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 not a fuss
Big as their niggas who run it rough
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 cough's quick
I'm sick
Gonna with the Jungle Heights clique
In England the trans-Atlantic
In Harlem where demands don't quit
Kioka:
Levitating and useless debating
In these devastating times
Tricky:
Don't let her run away
Kioka:
While everybody's just doing drugs
And writing melodic rhymes
Tricky:
Don't sleep her love away
Kioka:
Trying to get one
And not get into trouble
I might just be inclined
Tricky:

Kioka:
We all got needs
We all do dirty deeds
Now and then wanna smoke some weed
Tricky:

Yes we need to be free
Walkin' round with unsatisfying needs

Mad dog:
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?
Masterplan
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 Maxwells
Gettin' paid off girls
Rockwells, high L's
Well as drop sales with Stockwell
Street Dog with a molotov cocktail
No no can't stop flowin' no
Gettin' paid off girls
Rockwells, high L's
Well as drop sales with Stockwell
Street Dog with a molotov cocktail
No no can't stop flowin' no

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

I feel kind of stupid, love
To the noose,to the neck,to the push,to the shove
How much time has it been, love?
How much time has it been, love?
We don't even speak now
Remember the first walk-out?
You fill my need
You tell me to read
We sat in the park
We sat just apart
But not for our own love
We grew a strong love
But not for our own love
We grew a strong love
Wish i could sin love
Wish i could sin love
Wish i could sin love
Where've you been, love?
How've you been, love?
It's a long time since i've seen love
You make me happy, love

Excess
Tricky :
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 in
Nothing left in
Nothing left in
Some be heading
I need a head rest in
And a feed from a warm breast
And man making hits
From my childbearing hips
Underground like
Who's it sound like
You all sound the same
But you don't know my name

Things don't change

Feel the strain
Stress
Catch my breath

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)
Stephanie McKay:
I believe in different reasons
I believe in breath through seasons
I believe when snow flakes fall
I believe in buildings tall
Alanis Morissette:
Ah

I believe in people bombing
I believe in people warring
I believe diseases coming
I believe that's why I'm running

You got the flats
(In fact any time)
Dub my sacks
(Every day)
You've got the city

Move out of the country
I'm scrunching

Friends that are punchy

Who will stay calm
Blood will spill

Blood run down like some stagnant water

It gives and gives all over me
When love is strong
It goes on and on

Captured by what I lose
That' when I forced the flew
Being will never be
Have her remembering me

Tuck your hair behind you ears

And with so little force right now try and come this way

Them want no more
They shoulda dug up we history
Cause war them live them shoulda now
That it no safe
Examine da body in da unsolved mystery
It just a phone call close the case
But when them missing
Them can hold bad man responsible
But a true that a bad man job is invisible
But when them missing them can hold marathon responsible
But a true that a bad man job invisible
But after me da pan me corner chill
Here so little boy a injured and killed
They must want issued and feel well
Well so little boy don't even have no will
Unfortunately we take care of them bill
Then never have a find them information skill
Now no batty boy find that ill
But when them missing
Them can hold bad man responsible
But a true that a bad man job is invisible
But when them missing them can hold marathon responsible
But a true that a bad man job invisible
A yes a little boy come try and diss way
I must say one little different and case
And with so little force right now try and come this way
A marathon a go put it to waste
Them want no more
They shoulda dug up we history
Cause war them live them shoulda now
That it no safe
Ex amount a body da is unsolved mystery
It just a phone call close the case
But when them missing
Them can hold bad man responsible
But a true that a bad man job is invisible
But when them missing them can hold marathon responsible
But a true that a bad man job invisible

You in your car
Left the bar
Playing Big Part
Keep up complainin'

Keeping complaining
It's probably raining
You're gonna visit your car

With a blow to your head
Is that what you need
You're probably bleeding

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

Five days
I ran a wolf across highways
In the early spring (don't stop you're gonna break my heart)
The rest of my days
Should I stay should I pray
That I'm here now clear now
Live with the fears
To extend my tears
Shed no have no
Undecided
Five days in which I can't wait now (I need you)
Can't wait now (you needed me)
Bet you can't wait now (whatever happened to compatible two)
Making you wait now
I ran a wolf across highways in the early spring
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
Have I the meanings
I don't think I'm cheating
I create like the windy city (Don't go)
But the drums spread (I told you so)
Here we go with the games now
Maintain now
Might as well have you down now
Five days that you can't wait now (no need to smile)
Making you hate now
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
Bet you can't wait now
Making you wait now
Don't go I told you so
After what you've had
That look on your face you rat
When you talk like that
I just want to get you back

Car Crash
Costanza & Tricky:
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 & Costanza Francavilla :
Dear God
Hope you got the message, and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From God, I can't believe in you
I can't believe in you
Dear God
Sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you
I can't believe
Did you make disease
I can't believe
And the diamond blue?
I don't believe
Did you make mankind after we made you?
I can't believe
And the devil too
I don't believe
I can't believe
Dear God
Don't know if you noticed, but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image still believing that junk exist
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe in
I don't believe
I won't believe in heaven and hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in
It's you
How High
Costanza & Tricky:
If I say jump jump
You say how high
Standing like a mannequin
Mannequins don’t fly
Don’t swim don’t grin
Take it like a real man
Take it fake it
Then she ran
I try to show you
But I don’t know you
I try to know you
But I can’t grow you
Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past
No time for rest separate
For the rest separate
For the rest now
Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past
Please you will move quick
You’re making me real sick
No go no chnace
I don’t slow I don’t dance
I try to show you
But I don’t know you
I try to know you
But I can’t grow you
Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past
No time for rest separate
For the rest separate
For the rest now
Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past

Get out of my view

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

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

Hollow
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 don’t show I don’t I’’m alive

Slide across the floor
Move a little more
Take a sip & pour

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

for God

If I come to my life
The life was strange
We remain the same
Set the pain, share the strain

Stuck in the scratch, she says she’s dead
Waiting for God is very hard

Stuck in the verse
Stuck in the words
Stuck in my nerves

I’m doing fine
I’m doing mine
I’m reading signs
We’re killing time

Blocco nero e' la tua spia
Non mi fermero' mai ai tuoi richiami
Corro piu' veloce della tua Ferrari

Tricky & Constanza :
Ah
We move like cagey tigers
Like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and brighter
Wider and lighter
Bigger and brighter
Wider and lighter
Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We're so wonderfully wonderfully
wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream
Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
Like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we talk
The way we walk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and brighter
Wider and lighter
Bigger and brighter
Wider and lighter
Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
Search, Search, Survive
Tricky:
Ah one two
Ah ah One two
Ah one two
Ah ah
Search search survive
Say you’re lucky alive
You could be Aalyah
The grass is usually greener
Life is usually meaner
I’m like Ike I die for
I’d rather be released
Than controlled by the beast
It’s not my fault
You’re not a writer
Emotional exciter
You’re not a writer
Emotional exciter
You’re nobody
I do this for a hobby
The editor of Face
Well edit this place
Exit without trace
After we edit your face
You know I come in peace
Until the tension is released
You know I come in peace
Until the tension is released
Tricky & (Costanza):
Search search survive

I’m like Ike I die for

Puppy Toy
Tricky:
Again, we go 'round and round
I’ll get the drinks
I guess it's always my round
Alex Mills:
Can you get me that drink
Tricky:
Friends, girls, they come and go
Alex Mills:
You think you're nice
Tricky:
But trends remain in constant flow
See, she
Alex Mills:
Got any cash
Tricky:
She likes that money boy
And she, she's needs a puppy toy
Tricky & Alex Mills:
You stare, you stare and look confused
Your fruit is slightly bruised
You wear but don’t like men, no
Won’t love, won’t care again
(2x)
Tricky:
Girl, you got a vicious tongue
Alex Mills:
You're talking to me
Tricky:
Yeah, I wish
Wish you'd cough up a lung
Girl, you seem insecure
Alex Mills:
Well you’re an idiot
Tricky:
Look at me
And think you're pure
Girl, get your head right
Alex Mills:
There’s nothing wrong with me innit?
Tricky:
You, yeah, you should get it right
Tricky & Alex Mills:
You stare, you stare and look confused
Your fruit is slightly bruised
You wear but don’t like men, no
Won’t love, won’t care again

Again we go round and round
I'll get the drinks
It's always my round

Joseph
Joseph:
They want to see me cry
I would rather fly
I'm swimming in my grease
Angel, touch my face
She leads me by my hand
To castles in the sand
Suffocating from concrete
She I like to meet
I have to leave to look
I had to take a toke
I have to feel alone
I have to change my tone
I begin to wash my sins
I'm trying, my life begins
I sit up, I stand down
I sit up, I spin around
I sit up, I stand down
I sit up, I spin around
I sit up, I stand down
I sit up, I spin around
I sit up, I stand down
I sit up, I spin around
I should lose my friends
And I forget these bells
I'll spend time with me
And take a time to see
(Tricky: I sit up)
To learn about my son
(Tricky: stand down)
Crowded since my twelve
His mother said I'm special
(Tricky: round and round)
On my starship vessel
She left me now, she's gone
(Tricky: stand down)
She gives to give a song
She gives to give
(Tricky: round and round)
She gives to give a song
(Tricky: I sit up, stand down, I sit up)
Veronika
Veronika Coassolo:
If I had been on your mind on that day
Holding on to your thoughts, to your mind that way
You could've never jumped down in those arms
You could've never left my heart cold
If I had been on your mind on that day
Holding on to your thoughts, to your mind that way
You could've never jumped down in those arms
You could've never left my heart cold
Dead
Guilty, not here, there's no mercy for you,
I stint
Burning your image, your lies and your hints, you're dead
I'm building a prayer for the memories I can't stand
Your life doesn't bother me now
I'm discharged
I kill yourself
Just to feel good
And make my life better without your trace
You're dead
Buried under this ground
If I had been on your mind on that day
Holding on to your thoughts, to your mind that way
You could've never jumped down in those arms
You could've never left my heart cold
If I had been on your mind on that day
Holding on to your thoughts, to your mind that way
You could've never jumped down in those arms
You could've never left my heart cold
Damned
But I feel the shame of the cheap life, for this
I'm blessed
You kept on poisoning all of my days and for this
Brutally choking, so I bought a smile from death
The other side of the coin of your demise
Was my life and I love
All my survival skills
I loved you, too
But you tried to kill me as well
Too bad
You didn't give me respect
If I had been on your mind on that day
Holding on to your thoughts, to your mind that way
You could've never jumped down in those arms
You could've never left my heart cold
If I had been on your mind on that day
Holding on to your thoughts, to your mind that way
You could've never jumped down in those arms
You could've never left my heart cold
C'mon Baby
Female singer:
You excite
You excite me
Tricky:
C'mon baby you might be
Female singer:
You excite
You excite me
Tricky & female singer:
You excite me maybe you might be
Am I the first one not likely
You will you won't just like me
I'm so phoney I'm lonely
I take too much, I taste your touch
I'm automatic there's no clutch
C'mon baby, baby c'mon (x4)
I think you do, but you don't care
I think you will, but you won't share
I'm shaking, baby, I'm shaking
Is this for love that we're making
I won't rehearse, you're in my verse
You're in my song 'cause you're so strong
C'mon baby, baby c'mon (x4)
C'mon baby, baby c'mon (x4)
Tricky:
Hey love, how you been love
It's a long time since I've seen love
Are you caring for him, love
He's good for you, love
How you been, love
How you been, love
I remember when we met, love
We sat in the dark, love
We sat just apart, love
But not for long, love
We grew real strong, love
Real strong love
You caring for him, love
He's good for you, love
Tricky & female singer:
C'mon baby, baby c'mon (x4)
C'mon baby, baby c'mon (x4)

Council Estate
In my mother's belly and I'm starting to kick
Nine months in the womb and I'm making her sick
Squeeze through the womb and I land in the room
Don't know who we are, can't really tell
We do the council flats and we do some jail
We don't like school, in a week we go once
Don't like the police 'cos they kick and they punch
God bless what a stress and the stress comes at once
But remember boy you're a superstar
(Can't take it)
Can't break it, can't take who you are
(Can't take it)
Can't break it, can't take who you are
(Can't take it)
So remember boy you're a superstar
(Can't take it)
They call you council estate
They call you 'can't go straight'
They call you crime rate
They call you 'can't go straight'
And you're bending all the rules
Where you bury your tools
Bending all the rules
Where you bury your tools
Your family can't visit cause the prison's too far
You can't be who you be cos you're not who you are
Remember boy you're a superstar
Remember boy you're a superstar
So remember boy you're a superstar
(Can't take it)
Can't break it, can't take who you are
(Can't take it)
Can't break it, can't take who you are
(Can't take it)
So remember, boy, you're a superstar
(Can't take it)
S...s...superstar
(Can't take it)
They don't know who you are
(Can't take it)
S...s...superstar
(Can't take it)
They don't know who you are
(Can't take it)
You're a superstar
Can't break it
So remember, boy, you're a superstar
(Can't take it)
Can't break it, can't take who you are
(Can't take it)
Can't break it, can't take who you are
(Can't take it)
So remember, boy, you're a superstar
(Can't take it)
(Can't take it)
Can't break it, can't take who you are
(Can't take it)
Can't break it, can't take who you are
(Can't take it)
So remember, boy, you're a superstar
(Can't take it)
Past Mistake
Lubna & Tricky:
I realize, there's no compromise
Through lion eyes, my love for
Just wasn't there, even though I care
Did I hurt you back, did I make you sad
I know I paid, that's why I'm alone today
Just me and myself, no mental health
My mistakes overtakes
Your love's overgrown my love walks alone
My love, my love, my love for you
My love, my love, my love for you
Now I wonder why, until we die
And then, upon your praise
I hope Jesus come to kill the mourn
I feel again, I love you then
Oceans of time, across divine
I found you, I will find you
That is not my time, my time to take
For me and myself, our lover song (?)
My love, my love, my love for you
My love, my love, my love for you
Til it burns my soul
Burns my soul
Burns a hole
My love, my love, my love for you
My love, my love, my love for you
Coalition
Spoken voice:
....
Tricky:
The revolution will be televised in Iran
And the Holy Koran
You can go on to the internet, log in to your local war
You can read your paper
Receive a mental scar
Gets your happy meal in your happy car
You can make more money, more money
But still here you are
You can hate, hate til you waste away
You can come back tomorrow
Jesus is not here today
He's gone missing
Lost in this place called religion
I'm a muslim, I'm a Jew
I'm a conquest clan, I'm a nigger too
Wait for the crash, we're not built to last
Won't you go on and on
Like Duracell
Durex, no effects, yeah
Sex on a sale
You can read and read
Until your eyes fucking bleed
Either you give or you like to receive
The revolution will be televised in Iran
And the Holy Koran
You can go on to the internet, log in to your local war
You can read your paper
Receive a mental scar
Gets your happy meal in your happy car
You can make more money, more money
But still here you are
And still here you are
More money, more money
You can get killed by friendly fire
You can get killed by friendly fire
You can get killed by friendly fire
You can get killed by friendly fire
I wanna be the pope, I'm no hope
I'm a desire
You can do what you like
Competition is none
You can get it, come get it
Yeah, here you come
You can watch Clark Gable, honey, cable
You can build and build
Yeah, take MySpace
You can digest, digest
You never see me place
I've been here, I've been there
I'll be your teddybear
I don't care
I won't share
By the way, what sex are you
If you're a man, be a man
But if you wanna be a woman
I guess you do
Do what you can (can)
You say you like girls (girls)
So why you're with boys
And when I talk (talk)
(All I hear is noise) just becomes noise
When I'm surrounded by people
How come I'm still lonely
I guess it's me ego
thinks's it's one and only
I guess it's my ego

How can I be surrounded by people
And still be lonely
Cross To Bear
Hafdis Huld & Tricky:
Jesus said to Mary, you really can come
I'm tired, love, and I'm feeling real numb
Gotta see if my father's come
I'm under pressure, while I'm under the sun
Father, priest expects me to lead
Leaves it's easy, wants me to bleed
I'm scared, Magdalene, I fear I'm lost
I won't lie, don't wanna die on no cross
Track every streets, with nails in my feet
Wanna stay and lay with you, you're sweet
It's not my cross to bear
No, I don't care
It's not my cross to bear
No, I don't care
It's not my cross to bear
No, I don't care
When I'm dead, they say I rise again
If I come, will you still be here then
If I run, will you run with me too
We'll hide inside
And find a space for two
Eat with friends before we leave
Madgalene said, "be careful, friends deceive."
Free my chains
It's not my cross to bear
No, I don't care
It's not my cross to bear
No, I don't care
It's not my cross to bear
No, I don't care
Tricky:
Premature, don't wanna die on no cross
Hafdis Huld & Tricky:
When I'm dead, they raise my body and feed
Tricky:
Premature, don't wanna die on no cross
Hafdis Huld & Tricky:
When I'm dead, they raise my body and feed
Tricky:
This is not my cross to bear
No, I don't care...
Slow
(Kylie Minogue Cover, written by Emiliana Torrini)
Knew you'd be here tonight
So I put my best dress on
Boy I was so right
Our eyes connected
Now nothing's how it used to be
No second guesses
Track in on this feeling
Pull focus close up you and me
Nobody's leaving
Got me affected
Spun me 180 degrees
It's so electric
Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow (slow)
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow (slow)
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow (slow)
Don't wanna rush it
Let the rhythm pull you in
It's here so touch it
You know what I'm saying
And I haven't said a thing
Keep the record playing
Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Dance with me yeah
Read my body language
Slow, slow, slow
Take it down, down
Slow, slow, slow
Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow (slow)
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow (slow)
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow (slow)
Skip a beat and move with my body (slow)
Yeah, slow (slow)

Yeah, slow, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow, slow, yeah

School Gates
Lubna & Tricky:
I used to wait for her outside the school gates
She's fifteen and pregnant, I guess it's too late
I guess I'm too young, but I do what I can
She gave birth at fifteen, said the baby's not mine
So I get ahead in life, and get ahead in crime
It runs in the family, we've all done sometimes
It's Strangeways, Horfield, do you find some ??
Where goes time
When you were mine
Where goes time
When you were mine
Lubna:
I'm a stranger as well, I'm dying myself
I guess I'm too young, but I do what I can
Lubna & Tricky:
I used to wait for her outside the school gates
She's fifteen and pregnant, I guess it's too late
I guess I'm too young, but I'll do what I can
Where goes time
When you were mine
Where goes time
When you were mine
Tricky:
Where goes time
When you were mine
Where goes time
When you were mine
I used to wait for her outside the school gates...
