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 [Verse 2: DMC, Rev Run, & Both] 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 'cause we just can't hide Tinted windows don't mean nothin', they know who's inside [Chorus: DMC, Rev Run, & Both] It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time, it's tricky (How is it D?) 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, tricky, huh [Verse 3: DMC & Rev Run] When I wake up, people take up mostly all of my time I'm not singin', phone keep ringin' 'cause I make up a rhyme I'm not braggin', people naggin' 'cause they think I'm a star Always tearin' what I'm wearin', I think they're goin' too far A girl named Carol follows Darryl every gig we play Then D dissed her and dismissed her, now she's jockin' Jay I ain't lyin', girls be cryin' 'cause I'm on TV They even bother my poor father 'cause he's down with me [Chorus: DMC, Rev Run, & Both] It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time, it's tricky (How is it?) Tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time, it's tricky Tr-tr-tr-tr-tricky, tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tr [Outro: DMC, Rev Run, & Both] 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 'cause this is it
