(by Stephen Thomas Erlewine)

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.

Ponderosa

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
It occurred to me

Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell

I'm not a fugitive on the run

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.

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 for this one it's the official lyrics written by tricky ! ***

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

Martina :
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 :
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

Martina :
The world revolves for,for someone
For him, for she
The world revolves for, for someone
For him for me

"Let me tell you about my mother" ( From the film, Bladerunner )

Martina :
The world revolves for,for someone
For him, for she
The world revolves for, for someone
For him for me

Tricky & Martina :
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 you need to hear

How can I be sure
In a world that's constantly changing
How can I be sure

In a world that's constantly changing
How can, how can I be sure
( Backward vocals )

Just when I thought I was winning
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
Just when I thought I was winning
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
How can I be sure?

*** Thanx to Elliott who corrected some mistakes on this one ***

Abbaon fat tracks

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 and Mara who corrected some mistakes on this one ***

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)

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 :
I sleep, but gets 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
Even wanna try

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 :
oohhh ahhh
You don't, you don't
You don't, you you don't
Even wanna try

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 :
Hmmmm

Strugglin'

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

Brainwashed with the

Many switch in
Switch on, switch off

Martina :
Here I'm lost

A flashback...a flashback from way back

Do you know what its like to struggle?
Do you...do you...have you...have you ever had to struggle?
Strugglin...strugglin
Roll with the bullets to survive
Strugglin...strugglin...strugglin to remain
They label me insane
But i'm...i'm...i think i'm more normal than most
Strugglin with the remains
Brainwashed with the cheapest
And if pain makes me stronger
Then how am i stronger?
There's a fate for the late
But the late must wait longer
Strugglin...strugglin
Roll with the bullets to survive
Self preservation keeps the crowd alive
Strugglin
In hell i'll be lost in the layers of weakness
All around the surface brainwashed with the cheapest
In hell i'll be lost in the layers of weakness
All around the surface brainwashed with the cheapest
Exhausted with the mundane
Simplicity means no longer plain
Strugglin with the insane
Darkness and warmth
The obvious and mysterious
Magical colors, mythical shadows
Half thought with no meaning
They label me insane X3

Feed me

Tricky:
Hey you, so whatcha gonna do
Unbearable, searable, popular demand
From cradle to grave, the simple diary of man
Unbearable, searable, popular demand
Unbearable, searable, popular demand
From cradle to grave, the simple diary of man
Unbearable, searable, popular demand

Martina:
How things are together we'll destroy
And then we can destroy what we are
Together we can build what we are when we dream the spirit free
We don't give praise, we take praise
So why are we?

Tricky:
Unbearable, searable, popular demand
From cradle to grave, the simple diary of man

Martina:
How things are together we'll destroy
And then we can destroy what we are
Together we can build what we are when we dream the spirit free
We don't give praise, we take praise
So why are we?

Tricky:
Unbearable, searable, popular demand
From cradle to grave, this simple diary of man
Unbearable, searable, popular demand

Martina:
Feed me when I'm hungry
Drink me 'till I'm dry
The dream of yesterday becomes another lie
You feed me lies, distortion, the English disaster
No one's free from love for one master

Tricky:
Unbearable searable popular demand
From cradle to grave, the simple diary of man

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

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

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 never know why sunday in this weekday brew?
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,
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.

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

Cath Coffey:
We're the only ones here so speak your mind,
I feed your appetite, now you feed mine.
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?

Cath Coffey and Dedi Madden:
Round and round together, round and round forever.
Pray for me, pray for me so I can find my way home.

Cath Coffey:
Leave me now, so I can be alone.
Can you be alone?

Cath Coffey and Dedi Madden:
We're the only ones here so speak your mind,

Don't hold me
(I'm no mystic)
Don't fuck with me
(She treats my 'tistic')
Just do it
(A 'tastic')
Yoga-all,I leave it after you
(Now I'm feeling fantastic)
I'll find how to get after you
(And I will do for you)
I don't chance it
(And I will do for you)
All the pieces
I don't-yoga
All the people in colleauge with me

Don't hold me now
(I'm no mystic)
Don't fuck with me
(She treats my 'tistic')
I can want it
(A tastic')
I'll slide around in seconds
(Now I'm feeling fantastic)
I'll slide around and solve me
(And I will do for you)
I don't chance it
(And I will do for you)
I don't need the love to dance it
I don't chance it
I don't chance,at least the love's here

Just do it
(I'm no mystic)
Don't fuck with me
(She treats my 'tistic')
Don't hold me now
(A tastic')
I'm jumpy
(Now I'm feeling fantastic)
I'll stay and leave there
(And I will do for you)
May though you come and leave there
(And I will do for you)
I don't share it
Yoga after I go
and leave the lair
I'll send light-this sad soul laments
It can tell that I love,so I waste

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

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

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

Tricky:
My defences

Tricky & Martina :
Become fences

Tricky:
Now I'm stumbling

Tricky & Martina :

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:

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

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 strong

"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

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'm a work on it, pray on it and stay in it

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

To the noose, to the neck, to the boots, to the check
To the micic, to the psychic, to the circuit
To the games pains to blame
To the freedom, make it rain, make it same
Make it dance, not a chance, see her run
See her come, totaly cunning
She is dark heart, no soul, no soul
She is life line to the heartbeat
I can't feel the heartbeat

Lots of moaning, until they home in
And they spoil it all

In love I fall
It's a crime how I crawl
Oh my lover
Don't you know that it's alright
You can love
You can love me the same time
I grin and bear it
I grin and bear it
You can't compare it

Marathons of comparisons

The T-R-I-C-K-Y
You can't get close
Brag the I boast
What have I got to boast about

Ghetto traps didn't trap me, I got out
Security social
Standing in government lines
Standing in government lines
Standing in government lines
I take what's mines
I take what's mines
We know

Money greedy
I love you over all
Money greedy
You trample on my soul
You trample on my soul
You trample on my soul

Kill me with a quickness
I guess it's strictly business
You kill me with a quickness
I guess it's strictly business

Remember we used to sit in the brits
Never won any awards
That's not what we used to look towards
Money greedy
Tricola-ola
Donde este bien je t'aime je tombe
Comparison
Trample on my soul

Comparison
Can't get close
Brag when I boast

Didn't trap me I got out
Ghetto traps didn't trap me I got out
Standing in government lines
I take what's mines

Tricola-bola

I love you over all
You trample on my soul

I trust you over all
I trust you over all
Never come back
From the powers of desire
Yeah we know you do
I can see through you
I can't meet the expectations
Of these radio stations
'Cause I move in with different vibrations
With different vibrations
Different vibrations
Different vibrations
You kill me

First my body
Now my corpse

Bullet proof from the truth

And all the tough guys are dropping like flies
Like old styles and riches and snitches and those industry bitches
I hear they're taking over benches
To be high paid wenches

Forget the champaign at the bar you need A&R
Is this making music or make money?

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..

Demise

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
I think instinct.

Tear out my eyes

I feel you changing me, 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
Take out my eyes
