Ricky Ranking - Trick I

Trick I


I live the life I love
Love the life I live
But love is not too bright
To love is to give
I search far & near
Been a long way from home
Got so homesick
I had to come back home

The streets can’t trick i
Oh no, these streets can’t trick me no more

So I see my brethrens crying
But on other side I see them left dying
What for I don’t know
I hope some of them did it, did it well
Just couldn’t tell me nothing
Say don’t you see your falling out of favour
We’ll stop you from go to any borders
Brethrens you’ve got to come to the table
But only if you’re willing and able
Know yourself and know your speech
Mind your head upon rubbish heap

The streets can’t trick i
Oh no, these streets can’t trick me no more

Youthman find yourself
Sister you’ve got to find yourself too
Know what to see this time
& know the right thing to do
Don’t let no one come to ride on your back
To treat you like you are a donkey, a mule

The streets can’t trick i
Oh no, these streets can’t trick me no more

Remember when they used to trip me just round the corner
Empty our pockets
I said officer I’m just come from a party
Empty your pockets
I said officer I just live over there
He said Empty your pockets
So I started to run
And he run me down
