Tricky :
Look who do I have to have and why
A city's child
Real mode- you have to talk about it
An old pro- still we're 'bout it, 'bout it
Don't frown about it
It's best you keep quiet
You could never lead a riot
Money don't make you a leader
A leader usually reads
Go read a book
He shaked then he shook
"I need that crack, I need that crack"
You're swingin' the pipe
Do what you like
Goin' "doom doom"
Reflect on the room
Reflect on your life
Go stab yourself with a knife
Bob Khaleel :
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Tricky:
Vengeance isn't mine
It taught to hate from time
Time isn't real
How much time can you kill?
Luca Brazzi
He sleeps with the fishes
Fuck sugar and spice
And girls with deadly kisses
Purr like a cat
Raising towers
I go over her house
For the most
I got diamonds on suits
A girl's erased diamonds with new shoes
Remember Hollywood
You could finally make deals
Screamin', "Nigger you can get these!"
Stereotypical
Almost mythical
Like Mickey Mouse
I'll blow down your house
Blow up your whole image
Hardcore musicians with image
Bob Khaleel :
Love
Tricky :
You're silver screen
You're a hardcore lovin' machine
You play hardcore with me
And sooner or later we'll see
Bob Khaleel :
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
