Back in the days
Of the time I was raised
We were poor for sure
But the glory of it
Was that we didn't know it
And weren't afraid to show it
Still we couldn't refuse to change the golden goose

Fact is they say 'bout the time I was eight
I was cured for sure
And the story of it
Was I would rise above it
But now I slipped through your noose
When I couldn't lose and you're confused
Because I'm tricky

I've had my fair share of scrapes
There was a gap in the tapes
They think that I erased
You know that I'm not phased
I'll never rest my case

And I've got nothing up my sleeve
You know I'm tricky
Keep on calling me tricky
You know I'm tricky
And I got no one to believe me
'Cause I'm tricky
They keep saying I'm tricky
But this time the trick is on me
I've never has a stomach for losing
But once I moved in I got the constitution
Sounds so soothing to me
Just choosing to be
Cold rectified
Why should I testify?
I'm bringing pesticide
You put the rest aside

I'm the only one who knew how to do
What needed to be done
You think I'm on the run?
There ain't no smoking gun
'Cause I'm the chosen one, son

They call it espionage
But I got no camouflage
Me or my entourage
Another bullet dodged
It seems like a mirage

Now I've got nothing up my sleeve
You know I'm tricky
Keep on calling me tricky
You know I'm tricky
And I got no one who believes me
'Cause I'm tricky
They keep saying I'm tricky
But this time the trick is on me
The trick is on me
This time the trick is on me
You know I'm tricky
Keep on calling me tricky
You know I'm tricky
You know I'm tricky
And I got no one to believe me
'Cause I'm tricky
They say I'm tricky
Tricky
You know the trick is on me
The trick is on me
This time the trick is on me
