3.My evil is strong

'Well I see it so much
( I see it so much ) 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
Something happened-a car crash
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, do you wanna be a?
No, I can't say it, my mouth is like a...
Bittersweet and twisted, deceitful,rough and gifted
Even got God scared, mend the things we did
Making children, strong enough to take a life
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

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
Something happened-a car crash
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
Seaside, the sunny, the fame, the money

I'm a pray on it, stay in it, stay on it
I'm a work on it, pray on it, stay in it
I'm a work on it, pray on it ( stay in it )


4.Bad dreams

This is a matter of utmost urgency
You might even call it a police emergency
Suckers got ill when they finally heard the G
Wasn't sellin' out, they tried to murder me
Reached for my jammy like a troop's supposed to do
Never let a sucker get too close to you
Heard 'em comin', ducked behind the wall
Then saw the whites of his eyes, the first one had to fall
Another bug creeped up the fire escape
Trying to sneak, I guess he snuck too late
Lookin' like a scene from Real Life Vice
The way his head fell apart like a block of solid ice
Uzi does it, come to think of it
Dude had a nine, 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 blast their way in, hell, I ain't stayin'
I opened the back door and felt the summer night heat
Saw a bunch of bugs wearin' white sheets
What else could it mean? I know it ain't Halloween
The cross in the background burnin' made a ill scene
First I was panicky, then I was angry
One creep even had a rope ready to hang me
Now who am I supposed to be? Eddie Spaghetti?
You come and vic Rob G any time 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 phase me
What could I say? I was havin' a fucked up day
Stood up and took aim, my finger on the trigger
I shouted 'Now let me hear you say nigger!'
Well anyway, nobody spoke or went for broke
The place was all clouded up from gunsmoke
And everything got quiet, I don't buy it
Just 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 that they could get right quick
But I ain't goin' out like no statistic
Another number, made me wonder
How many other brothers they've 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 daybreak
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 an' shit
It's just a bad dream


5.Piano

To the noose, to the neck, to the boost, to the check
To the micic, to the psychic, to the circuit
To the games pays to blame
To the freedom, make it rain, make it sane
Make it dance, not a chance, see her run
See her come, take her kindly
She is dark eyed, no soul, no soul
She is lifeline to the heartbeat
Can't feel the heartbeat
To the flowers, to the bunches,
To the lunches, to the punches

To the noose, to the neck, to the boost, to the check
To the micic, to the psychic, to the circuit
To the games pays to blame
To the freedom, make it rain, make it sane
Make it dance, not a chance, see her run
See her come, take her kindly
She is dark eyed, no soul, no soul
She is lifeline to the heartbeat
Can't feel the heartbeat
To the flowers, to the bunches,
To the lunches, to the punches

To the good, to the clean
And i'll be you're ugly
To the occasion, to the lie
Kiss beneath, bridge of sighs
Not some moaning, until they homing
And they spoil it all

To the noose, to the neck, to the boost, to the check
To the micic, to the psychic, to the circuit
To the games pays to blame
To the freedom, make it rain, make it sane
Make it dance, not a chance, see her run
See her come, take her kindly
She is dark eyed, no soul, no soul
She is lifeline to the heartbeat
Can't feel the heartbeat
To the flowers, to the bunches,
To the lunches, to the punches
To the good, to the clean
And i'll be you're ugly
To the occasion, to the lie
Kiss beneath, bridge of sighs
Not some moaning, until they homing
And they spoil it all

Not some moaning, until they homing
Not some moaning, until they homing

To the good, to the clean
And i'll be you're ugly
To the occasion, to the lie
Kiss beneath, bridge of sighs
Not some moaning, until they homing
Not some moaning, until they homing

To the noose, to the neck, to the boost, to the check
To the micic, to the psychic, to the circuit
To the games pays to blame
To the freedom, make it rain, make it sane
Make it dance, not a chance, see her run
See her come, take her kindly
She is dark eyed, no soul, no soul
She is lifeline to the heartbeat
Can't feel the heartbeat
To the flowers, to the bunches,
To the lunches, to the punches


6.Lyrics of fury

I'm rated 'R'...this is a warning, ya better void,
Poets are paranoid, DJ's destroyed,
'Cause I came back to attack others in 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;
Tremble like a alcoholic, muscles tighten up,
What's that, lighten up, you see a sight but,
Suddenly you feel like you're in a horror flick,
You grab your heart then wish for tomorrow quick.
Music's the clue, when I come your warned,
Apocolypse Now, when I'm done, ya gone.
Haven't you ever heard of a MC-murderer?
This is the death penalty,and I'm servin' a
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 realm ya get beat,
This is off limits, so your visions are blurry,
All ya see is the meters at a volume,
Pumping lyrics of fury

Terror in the styles, never error-files,
Indeed I'm known-your exiled!
For those that oppose to be level or next to this
I ain't a devil and this ain't the exorcist.
Worse than a nightmare, you don't have to sleep a wink,
The pain's a migraine every time ya think,
Flashbacks interfere, ya start to hear:
The R-A-K-I-M in your ear;
Then the beat is hysterical,
That makes Eric go get a ax and chops the wack,
Soon the lyrical format is superior,
Faces of death remain,
MC's decaying, 'cause they never stayed,
The scene of a crime every night at the show,
The fiend of a rhyme on the mic that you know,
It's only one capable, breaks-the unbreakable,
Melodies-unmakable, pattern-unecscapable,
A horn if want the style I posses,
I bless the child, the earth, the gods and bomb the rest,
For those that envy a MC it can be,
Hazardous to your health so be friendly,
A matter of life and death, just like a etch-a-sketch,
Shake 'till your clear, make it 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 disasterous sight,
A performance never again performed on a mic:
Lyrics of fury.


7.Christiansands

Tricky:
My defences

Tricky & Martina:
Become fences

Tricky:
Now I'm stumbling

Tricky & Martina :
I change my face
And if you think i'm fake up
Wait around till I take off my make-up
Here we go again
I need another one
Her name is
She looks through 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
Maybe some deceptions
I mean we'll take it slow
I really don't know
When you talk, you make me cringe
Silver me to the messenger
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:
You and me, what does that mean?
Always, what does that mean?
Forever, what does that mean?
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime i'll create my own
By my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime i'll create my own
You and me, what does that mean?
Always, what does that mean?
Forever, what does that mean?
Always, what does that mean?
Forever, what does that mean?
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime i'll create my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime i'll create my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime i'll create my own
You and me, what does that mean?
Always, what does that mean?
Forever, what does that mean?
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime i'll create my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime i'll create my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language


8.Bad things

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
And you say you be brought into it
Ok, let me make a phone call
I'd rather you float down the river sea
Voodoo Heathen, fuck around with my privacy
I wish I didn't feel
I want to do bad things
And then we're one again X2
And then we're one again X2
I wanna do bad things in the movies
We never squeeze, never pull it
Muscles wrap round the bullet
And you see you be brought into it
Get at me, make a phone call
I'd rather you float down that river-sea
Voodoo Heathen, fuck around with my privacy
Would you like to see me for real winner?
I'd probably buy a brother dinner
I'd rather speak another language
I know she's my toasted sandwich
Be careful of food
She's egotistical and 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


9.Sex drive

Tricky:
What you wanna do with your sex drive?
Wait for your soul to catch up with me
Conquered feel-proceed
I talk to him
I wanna lie
She looks at me
I wanna hide
Wanna be rich and fat
How do I validate that?
And then with my eyes makes me fell like a mouse
Do I, return it into there?
Can I rest my hands on your chest and dribble
You know the rules I speaks in riddle
Pain is somewhere along the line
Pain is somewhere along the line
It takes courage and strength to be single
When you get older your body won't look so good
(You won't look so good)
This is the peak, the best time for a relationship
I'm the only shiek kid in Moscow
I said if you're in love let go 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 pleasures
Sell the rights to their agents
Damn it,Jesus
They want more pleasures sellin'

Martina :
Paranoid soul 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 guttersnipe
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
Don't carry music on my shoulder
You think i'm a wild Terrier
Now i never could 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 pleasures
Sell the rights to their agents


10.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'll 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'll fly
She makes me wanna die
Follow where Mary goes
Cherish the things she knows
Says if I change my stride
Then I'll fly
And 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


11.Vent

Tricky:
She's the one makes me feel these ways
He's the one needs some praise
Can't stand to feel
Hate to feel
Gone insane
Hijack a plane
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
Trying hard not to lose 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


12.Bad Dream

This is a matter of utmost urgency
You might even call it a police emergency
Suckers got ill when they finally heard the g

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 blast their way in, hell, i ain't stayin'
I opened the back door and felt the summer night heat
Saw a bunch of bugs wearin' white sheets
What else could it mean? i know it ain't halloween
The cross in the background burnin' made a ill scene
First i was panicky, then i was angry
One creep even had a rope ready to hang me
Now who am i supposed to be? eddie spaghetti?
You come and vic rob g any time 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 phase me
What could i say? i was havin' a fucked up day
Stood up and took aim, my finger on the trigger
I shouted 'now let me hear you say nigger!'
Well anyway, nobody spoke or went for broke
The place was all clouded up from gunsmoke
And everything got quiet, i don't buy it
Just 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 that they could get right quick
But i ain't goin' out like no statistic
Another number, made me wonder
How many other brothers they've 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 daybreak
Must've fallen asleep, but for pete's sake
I didn't see the enemy tryin' 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 an' shit...

(it's a bad dream, man. that's all, man, you know what i'm
sayin'?
Guess i was just buggin' or somethin', man...)
