It's Tricky

[Intro]

This speech is my recital, I think 
it's very vital

To rock, a rhyme, that's right, on 
time

"It's Tricky" is the title, here we 
go

[Chorus]

F
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to 

I|rock a rhyme that's right on time 


                     Bb
It's Tricky...It's Tricky, 

I|Tricky, Tricky, Tricky 


F
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to 

I|rock a rhyme that's right on time 


                Bb
It's Tricky...Tricky, Tricky, 

[First Part]

   F
I met this little girlie, her hair 
was kinda curly
Went to her house and bust her out, 
   Bb
I had to leave real early
       F
These girls are really sleazy, all 
they just say is please me
Or spend some time and rock a rhyme,
    Bb
 I said "It's not that easy"

[Chorus]

F
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to 

I|rock a rhyme that's right on time 


                    Bb
It's Tricky, It's Tricky, Tricky 


F
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to 

I|rock a rhyme that's right on time 

Continues after the ad

                Bb
It's Tricky...Tricky, Tricky 

[Second Part]

        F
In New York the people talk and try 
to make us rhyme
They really hawk but we just walk 
            Bb
because we have no time
            F
And in the city it's a pity cause we
 just can't hide
Tinted windows don't mean nothin', 
            Bb
they know who's inside

[Chorus]

F
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to 

I|rock a rhyme that's right on time 


                               
It's Tricky, Tricky, Tricky, 
  Bb
I|Tricky, Tricky 


F
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to 

I|rock a rhyme that's right on time 


                Bb                 
It's Tricky...Tricky, Tricky, 
             F

[Third Part]

        F
When I wake up people take up mostly
 all of my time
I'm not singin', phone keep ringin' 
         Bb
cause I make up a rhyme
          F
I'm not braggin', people naggin' 
cause they think I'm a star
Always tearin' what I'm wearin', I 
               Bb
think they're goin' too far

              F
A girl named Carol follows Darryl 
every gig we play
Then D dissed her and dismissed her,
            Bb
 now she's jockin' Jay
         F
I ain't lyin', girls be cryin' cause
 I'm on TV
They even bother my poor father 
            Bb
cause he's down with me

[Chorus]

F
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to 

I|rock a rhyme that's right on time 


               Bb
It's Tricky, Tricky, Tricky, 

I|Tricky, Tricky 


F
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to 

I|rock a rhyme that's right on time 


               Bb
It's Tricky, Tricky, Tricky, 

[Fourth Part]

             F
We are not thugs (we don't use 
drugs) but you assume (on your own)
They offer coke (and lots of dope) 
             Bb
but we just leave it alone

            F
It's like that y'all (y'all), but 

I|we don't quit 

You keep on (rock!) shock! cause 
  Bb
this is it

[Outro] F
