cover #35: it's tricky

song: it's tricky
cover: bloodhound gang
original: run DMC

comments: my first encounter with this song (that i can remember) was not in the 80's, or 90's, but a few years ago, when barats and bereta used it at the end of their video, the good word:



sometimes i'm a little slow on the uptake.



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
run DMC - it's tricky
bloodhound gang - it's tricky

lyrics: this speech is my recital
i think it's very vital
to rock a rhyme, that's right on time
"it's tricky" is the title, here we go

it's tricky to rock a rhyme
to rock a rhyme that's right on time
it's tricky, it's tricky
tricky, tricky, tricky
it's tricky to rock a rhyme
to rock a rhyme that's right on time
it's tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky

i met this little girlie
her hair was kinda curly
went to her house and bust her out
i had to leave real early
these girls are really sleazy
all they just say is "please me"
or spend some time and rock a rhyme
i said "it's not that easy"

it's tricky to rock a rhyme
to rock a rhyme that's right on time
it's tricky, it's tricky
tricky, tricky, tricky
it's tricky to rock a rhyme
to rock a rhyme that's right on time
it's tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky

in new york the people talk and try to make us rhyme
they really hawk but we just walk because we have no time
and in the city it's a pity cuz we just can't hide
tinted windows don't mean nothing, they know who's inside

it's tricky to rock a rhyme
to rock a rhyme that's right on time
it's tricky, it's tricky
tricky, tricky, tricky
it's tricky to rock a rhyme
to rock a rhyme that's right on time
it's tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky

when i wake up people take up mostly all of my time
i'm not singing, phone keep ringing cuz i make up a rhyme
i'm not bragging, people nagging cuz they think i'm a star
always tearing what i'm wearing, i think they're going too far
a girl named carol follows daryll every gig we play
then D dissed her and dismissed her, now she's jocking jay
i ain't lying, girls be crying cuz i'm on TV
they even bother my poor father cuz he's down with me

it's tricky to rock a rhyme
to rock a rhyme that's right on time
it's tricky, it's tricky
tricky, tricky, tricky
it's tricky to rock a rhyme
to rock a rhyme that's right on time
it's tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky

we are not thugs
we don't use drugs
but you assume on your own
they offer coke
and lots of dope
but we just leave it alone
it's like that y'all, y'all
but we don't quit
you keep on rock, shock
cuz this is it
