[Daddy G]

Trendy wendys you know what i mean

Hangin' around with girl who's rolling up her jeans

She watches her street cred 'cause she's no dummy

Saw rockin the microphone and now she's calling me a honey

Says I know what I want don't move with thugs

We're house parties hip hop and smoking drugs

And whoever's been the boss she's down with 'em

She's always on time 'cause the girl got rhythm

To avoid all complications i'll give some information

About a certain location under Paddington Station

'Cause when I host my show-a I avoid the girl called lola

Who's more pu-pu-public than the drink they call it coca cola

I'm just practice posing face is shaded in black

Is dominating as my color the massive attack

Right now i hit it kick it flow smooth hit middle wicket

[Tricky]

I take a small step now it's a giant stride

People say I'm loud why should I hide

Only had a small taste so what a waste

I quietly observe though it's not my space

Bottom end's heavy you know we're never even

People call me Tricky for particular reason

I've got you see and I've got to let you know

See we're rockin' in your area rock beneath your balcony

My baby just cares for me well that's funny

Her touch tickles especially on my tummy

[Daddy G]

Now who's got the microphone

[Tricky]

Now who's honey

[Daddy G]

A turbo turbo and chant with a charge

Addy, Daddy G wild bunch crew at large

Don't call me an officer just call me a sarge

Mashing up the country planning also abroad

Plan to go to America when I get a visa card

[Tricky]

But gettin' a visa card nowadays isn't hard

[Daddy G]

So keep your ears glued listen to every chord

Tokyo city's one place that we toured

Four technic plus two mixer board

Sharper than a Wilkinson razor sword

[3D]

When I was a child I played subbuteo on

My table then I graduate to studio one

'Cos D's my nom de plume you know but 3's my pseudonym

And around my neck you know I wear the sony budokan

Indigo blues you got me in my own shoes

The people dancing in the shape for what they make

They can't lose

Yes waxing lyrical but this time it's not satirical

It's kinda spherical so jam me in a ???

This is the miracle of the dubplate dub selection

[Daddy G]

So whether you're black white or half-caste in your complection

[3D]

Yes pull out your phono plug and tuck you in your phony

It's started by marconi resumed by sony

A summary by wireless history and only

The massive attack ??? explosione

[Horace Andy]

Get away with you gangsters

We don't want it

Get away with you gangsters

We don't like it

Eternal love eternal love

Money money money

Root of all evil

Money money money

Root of all evil
