[Shara Nelson]

I quietly observe standing in my space

Daydreaming

I quietly observe standing in my space

Daydreaming

[3D]

Way that we say 'em in style that we write 'em in

Massive attack we keep it strong just like a vitamin

Going for the positive wiping out the negative songs

'Cause brother it's relative

The pass is picking up all the lyrics on the dance floor

That raise your spirit level 'cause it demands for

[Tricky]

Attitude is cool degrees below zero

Up against the wall behaving like De Niro

Tricky's performing taking his phono

Making a stand with a tan touch it like cocoa

Smooth to keep you moving at the back now

Free is the needle it's moving through the track now

[3D]

Dance to the drummer's beats we need new sticks

Bounce around the vibes like acoustics

No drugs or pharmaceuticals for the body ain't suitable

Stick with liquid me and trick we've drop

A paper which you use my tongue to lick with

[Tricky]

Trouble and strife ain't no sunshine in my life

Wiseguys get protection when they carry a knife

They shouldn't have been born they're making me yawn

But I just take it easy it's a sunday morn'

[3D]

So you come on light my fire and

Together we'll grow forever watch my eight kay rig go

[Daddy G]

Because my eight kay rig goes boom boom

My eight kay rig goes boom

[3D]

Yeah rhymin' the jam and uh we got the stamina

In case you never know us if we don't give a damn and uh

And it's hard to handle keep your distance

Resist and the posse gets the pleasure of this dance

The cool breeze that you welcome in the heat

You don't see it but you feel it when it's blowing on the street

[Tricky]

If i was a rich man

[Daddy G]

Da da dada

[Tricky]

I quietly observe standing in my space

It's the devious days they call the rat race

It's a concrete jungle, evil in the town

Weebles, wobble, occasional squabble

But what happen when the bomb drops

Down

[3D]

Don't make sound

'Cause the dancefloor's a desert

And the dancers are parched

Do a rain dance and your brain's still marsh

My heavy my brother get lighter than helium

Float above the world to break the tedium

Living in my headphones sony's what I say to 'em

The surreal boom of the budokan stadium

[Shara Nelson]

Well i'm floating on air when i'm daydreaming

I quietly observe standing in my space

[Tricky]

Well i'm tricky kid don't deal with sadness

Can't be with the one i love i love the one that i miss

I'm very down to earth but brain sits on top floor

Don't need another lover just need, i'm insecure

[3D]

The weather is a-changin' the storms be shakin

The love that you take is equal to the love you're makin

Here comes the sun little darlin here comes the sun

It's alright

[Tricky]

Yes tricky kid i check my situation

Maggie this Maggie that Maggie means inflation

Hip-hop you don't stop cause i'm not sloppy

I like the beat so we need another copy

[3D]

We're natives of the massive territory and we're proud

Get peaceful in the dance, adapt the glory and the crowd

The problem ain't a different kind of skin tricks

I love my neighbor I don't wait for the olympics

See you go hooligan you're trying to play the fool again

[Tricky]

Caught you in the lost and found

[3D]

When your posse weren't around

[Tricky]

No crowd

[3D]

So you're going for you tool again

[Shara Nelson]

Daydreaming

I quietly observe standing in my space

Daydreaming

Well i'm floating on air when i'm daydreaming
