["Always tearing what I'm wearing, I think they're going too far","I met this little girlie, her hair was kind of curly","It's tricky to rock a rhyme","","It's tricky (how is it?) tricky tricky tricky tricky","To rock a rhyme that's right on time","A girl named Carol follows Darryl every gig we play","Tinted windows don't mean nothing, they know who's inside","Went to her house to bust her out, I had to leave real early","They offer coke and lots of dope, but we just leave it alone","","To rock a rhyme","You keep on, rock shot, cause this is it","HUH","I'm not singing, phone keep ringing so I make up a rhyme","","I ain't lying, girls be crying, 'cause I'mon TV","To rock a rhyme that's right on time","It's tricky tricky yo here we go","That's right on time","It's tricky (How is it D?) tricky tricky tricky tricky","They even bother my poor father, 'cause he's down with me","To rock a rhyme that's right on time","","I'm not bragging, people nagging, 'cause they think I'm a star","I think it's very vital","","It's tricky to rock a rhyme","It's tricky tricky tricky tricky tricky","Or spend some time and rock a rhyme, I said it's not that easy","It's tricky to rock a rhyme","And in the city it's a pity, 'cause we just can't hide","","When I wake up people take up mostly all of my time","This speech is my recital","In New York the people talk and try to make us rhyme","Then he dissed her and dismissed her, now she's jocking Jay","We are not dumb, we don't use drugs, but you assume on your own","They really hawk, but we just walk, because we have no time","","It's like that y'all, but we don't quit","","These girls are really sleazy, all they just say is please me"]
