[Verse 1]
F
I met this little girlie, her hair was kinda curly
F Bb
Went to her house and bust her out, I had to leave real early
F
These girls are really sleazy, all they just say is please me
F Bb
Or spend some time and rock a rhyme, I said "It's not that easy"
[Chorus]
F
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time

[Verse 2]
F
In New York the people talk and try to make us rhyme
F Bb
They really (hawk) but we just (walk) because we have no time
F
And in the city it's a pity cause we just can't hide
F Bb
Tinted windows don't mean nothin', they know who's inside
[Chorus]
F
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
F Bb
It's Tricky...(How is it D?) Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky)

[Verse 3]
F
When I wake up people take up mostly all of my time
F Bb
I'm not singin', phone keep ringin' cause I make up a rhyme
F
I'm not braggin', people naggin' cause they think I'm a star
F Bb
Always tearin' what I'm wearin', I think they're goin' too far
[Verse 4]
F
A girl named Carol follows Darryl every gig we play
F Bb
Then D dissed her and dismissed her, now she's jockin' Jay
F
I ain't lyin', girls be cryin' cause I'm on TV
F Bb
They even bother my poor father cause he's down with me
[Chorus]
F
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time

It's Tricky...Tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tricky (Tr-Tr-Tr-Tricky) Tr-tr-tr...
[Verse 5]
F
We are not thugs (we don't use drugs) but you assume (on your own)
F Bb
They offer coke (and lots of dope) but we just leave it alone
F
It's like that y'all (y'all), but we don't quit
F Bb
You keep on (rock!) shock! cause this is it...
