Lyrics - It's Tricky by Run Dmc

This speech is my recital
I think it's very vital
To rock a rhyme that's right on timelt's trickyis the title.
Here we go:
It's tricky to rock a rhyme
To rock a rhyme that's right on timeit's tricky!
It's trickytrickytrickytricky.
It's tricky to rock a rhyme
To rock a rhyme that's right on timeit's tricky!
Trickytrickytricky.
I met this little girlieher hair was kind a curly
Went to her house and bust her out
I had to leave real early.
These girls are really sleazyall 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. . .
In
New
York the people talk and try to make us rhyme
They really hawkbut we iust walkbecause we have no time.
And in the city it's a pity'cos we iust can't hide
Tinted windows don't mean nothingthey know who's inside.
It's tricky to rock a rhyme. . .
When
I wake uppeople take up mostly all of my time
I'm not singingphone keep ringing'cause
I make up a rhyme.
I'm not braggingpeople nagging'cause they think
I must doll
Always tearing what
I'm wearing
I think they're going too far.
A girl named
Carol follows
Darryl every gig we play
Then
D. dissed her and dismissed hernow she's iocking
Jay.
I ain't
Iyinggirls be crying'cause
I'm on
TVThey even bother my poor father'cause he's down with me.
It's tricky to rock a rhyme. . .
We are not thugswe don't use drugsbut you assume on your own
They offer coke and lots of dopebut we just leave it alone.
It's like thaty'ally'allbut we don't quit.
Yo' keep onrock!
Shock! '
Cause this is it!
