Mixed Race lyrics



 

 

   
Every Day
   
    _
Francesca & Tricky:
I am nothing, I move through walls
I’ll make thunder when the night come
I’m full moon and the earth rotates
I am Adam and Eve she waits

I’m forsake, I’m the bird that flies
I’m low tide and the sun that rise
I am plane in your friendly sky
I fly on wings and the promise it brings

I am hope, I’m the noose and rope
I’m life, I’m death, I’m your last breath
I’m seasons, I’m reasons, I’m why you should end
You hate me, you love me, I’m your best friend

I’m earthquake and deep lake, the fish that swims free
Straight to your plate, you can eat me
I’m every day, I’m every day, I’m every day
I’m every day, I’m every day, I’m every day
I’m every day, I’m every day, I’m every day
I’m every day, I’m every day, I’m every day

Terry Lynn:
Want it find it see it get it
Be rich now or just forget it
Earn it steal it beg it buy it
Can't stay broke you got to try it

Dream it plan it chance it risk it
Bring your guns machete ratchet
Load it lock it pack it strap it
Handgun long guns automatic

Hunt it search it time it find it
Wire fence and wall they climb it
Breach it break it reach it take it
Dog is sleeping don't you wake it

Have it hold it clench it hide it
Cop the goods and guns beside it
Fence it rail it beat it scale it
Who get caught the cops will jail it

Heard it check it stop inspect it
Look who's here Constable Becket
Knob it cuff it jeep it truck it
Pull no stunt you'll kick the bucket

Freeze it breeze it cock it squeeze it
Punctured brain nobody needs it
Track it trace it pick it waste it
Gunshot bore your face and space it

Chop it bash it smash it scrape it
Try you may but can't escape it
Rise it gage it bust it blaze it
Cops head gone a bullet shave it

Shoot it kill it mute it still it
Got one life you can't refill it
Know it pree it saw it flee it
Logic laws and rules we wrote it

Kingston Logic
Kingston Logic
Kingston Logic
Kingston Logic…

Tricky:
Don't take it, keep it too long
It’s not a fucking love song
Eat your words see she heard
You got the money and the car
She got the gun and for the boss
Time to kill
So I still
You confess
You got your bullets in your vest
You're keepin' move and move away
Smoking coke she's fun to play
You confess
Got your bullets in your vest
You're keepin' move and move away
Smoking coke she fun to play
He's got your bird, keeps your word
Turn to dust like a road and never rust (?)

Terry Lynn:
Kingston Logic
Kingston Logic
Kingston Logic
Kingston Logic…

Early Bird
   
    _
Francesca & Tricky:
You know the squirrel
I move just like one
I am the early bird
There's no stress
'Cause I'm the best
I don't care what you heard

You know the squirrel
I move just like one
I am the early bird
There's no stress
'Cause I'm the best
I don't care what you heard

Tricky:
When I was a young kid
I had a greed
I wanted money and weed
Took what I need

A mixed race boy
They call me a bread
Mixed up boy
I was angry indeed

Had the thirst for a need
I needed to feed
My friends hurt people
They make them bleed
That's what they did
To get what they need
I found it too hard
Waiting for God
Guns on my telly
Guns in my celly
You show me a gun
My Lex turn to jelly
Prison is smelly
Life's hustle and bustle
But the time for the hustle
If people see hustlin'
They try muscle in

Francesca & Tricky:
You know the squirrel
I move just like one
I am the early brid
There's no stress
'Cause I'm the best
I don't care what you heard

You know the squirrel
I move just like one
I am the early bird
There's no stress
'Cause I'm the best
I don't care what you heard

Francesca:
When I was a young kid
I had a greed
I wanted money and weed
Took what I need

Francesca & Tricky:
A mixed race boy
They call me a bread
Mixed up boy
I was angry indeed

I had the thirst for a need
I needed to feed
My friends hurt people
They make 'em bleed
That's what they did
To get what they need
I found it too hard
Waiting on God
Guns on my telly
Guns in my celly
You show me a gun
My Lex turn to jelly
Prison is smelly
Life's hustle and bustle
Take time for the hustle
If people see hustlin'
They try muscle in

Francesca & Tricky:
You know the squirrel
I move just like one
I am the early bird
There's no stress
'Cause I'm the best
I don't care what you heard

You know the squirrel
I move just like one
I am the early bird
There's no stress
'Cause I'm the best
I don't care what you heard

Ghetto Stars
   
    _
Francesca:
Have a look at trick down
To see you face
You been locked in a cell
Standing south on the street
Hard to look though the bars
You don't look well
Shots keep ringin'
Still no presence
To accommodate our hardcore loves
This my love come get in line
Before they comes home with thugs

Tricky & Francesca:
Ghetto stars don’t go far
Ghetto traps, locked behind bars
Don't you worry keeps your hurry
The ghetto’s know that you don't deserve

Tricky:
My blood is in it
I never try to reason
My cousin Norman
But the car case he’s runnin'
My family's gringo
So I try to sing yo
Writing these efforts
While my nan plays the bingo
My scene is just a habit
Try to chase a rabbit
My family of gringo's
Break in though the windows
I need some new clothes
Shiny new wheel wells
Kickers and teeth now
We had a big sack
I really love my family
They probably never planned me
My family's gringo
So I try to sing yo

Tricky & Francesca:
Ghetto stars don’t go far
Ghetto traps, locked behind bars
Don't you worry keeps your hurry
The ghetto knows that you don't deserve

Francesca:
Have a look trick down
To see my baby he'd been locked in cell
Singing songs to my sweetheart though the bars
He don't look well

Shots keep ringin'
Still no presence
To accommodate our hardcore loves
This my love come get in line
Before they comes home with thugs

Tricky & Francesca:
Ghetto stars don’t go far
Ghetto traps, locked behind bars
Don't you worry keeps your hurry
The ghetto’s know that you don't deserve
(repeat x3)

Tricky:
Ghetto stars don’t go far...

Come To Me
   
    _
"Jen" on tricky's answering machine 8 years ago:
Dark and tan and young and lovely
The boy named tricky kid don't wanna call me
I just called to tell you I wanna say hi
Just a call to let you know
That you are ok
And you are not too lonely
If you can give a call (?)
to say I am alive
What's up tricky
It's Jen

Tricky:
Wait up babe
How you doing
My name is fella
I live across
I'm very soft, like a glove (?)
Healthy yellow (?)
I play the strings
With billy scenes
(?)
And by-laws sub city frames (?)
I'll briefly change (?)
And no ones taken
By the way I'm half Jamaican
You don't like boys
I'm not like them all
Let’s take a trip
We'll go to Kings Road (?)

Come with me relieve the stress
Come to me in summer dress

Francesca:
I...I...I...I...pass my time in the sun
Tricky:
Come to me in summer dress
Francesca:
I...I...I...I...
pass my time in the sun

Tricky:
On summer days we'll swim again
We can walk so many ways

Francesca (Tricky):
I...I...I...I...pass my time in the sun
(Come to me in summer dress)
I...I...I...I...pass my time in the sun

Tricky:
We'll smoke weed when no one's around
A drink of wine on an old back road (?)
You swim to me I'll jump across
See these clouds I'm falling off

Come with me relieve the stress
Come to me in summer dress

Francesca:
I...I...I...I...pass my time in the sun
I...I...I...I...pass my time in the sun

Tricky:
Come with me relieve the stress
Come to me in summer dress
Come with me relieve the stress
Come to me in summer dress

Come with me relieve the stress
Come to me in summer dress

Tricky (Francesca):
Come with me relieve the stress
(
I...I...I...I...)
Come to me in summer dress
(
pass my time in the sun)
Come with me relieve the stress
(
I...I...I...I...)
Come to me in summer dress
(
pass my time in the sun)

Murder Weapon
(written by Echo Minott, originally performed by Echo Minott)
   
    _

Francesca & Tricky:
Shine your gun, shine your gun
Shine your gun right now
Shine your gun, shine your gun
It's time for the showdown

Francesca:
I never want to hold the gun without the gloves upon my hand
Don't wanna leave the fingerprints on the murder weapon
One of them come I’m gonna kill them dead

Francesca & Tricky:
Two of them come I'm gonna run them red
Francesca:
Went out to chase I'll send them to their beds
Francesca & Tricky:
And another one dead

Francesca & Tricky:
Shine your gun, shine your gun
Shine your gun, rude boy
Shine your gun, shine your gun
Shine your gun right now

Watch I got my glock on my waist
Watch I got my glock on my waist
You want to get acquainted to Betsy
Or you want to meet my glock Charlie, yeah

Shine your gun, shine your gun
Shine your gun right now
Shine your gun, shine your gun
It's time for the showdown

Tricky:
You got a glock you keep it, boy
You got it locked you need some, boy
Smoke the trees you move it, boy
You move the fruit you need the, boy

Francesca & Tricky:
Shine your gun, shine your gun
Shine your gun, rude boy
Shine your gun, shine your gun
It's time for the showdown

Shine your gun, shine your gun
Shine your gun, rude boy
Shine your gun, shine your gun
It's time for the showdown

Tricky:
Rude boy, rude boy
Rude boy, rude boy

Time To Dance
   
    _
Francesca:
You go through into
Jump to the lake
Swim until you wake
Under the ocean
Moves slow motion
Stop for sounds
Kill the noise
Can you float / feel
Girls and boys

Time to dance, time to dance, time to dance
Time to dance, time to dance, time to dance

When we go free into
Drive in your car
Forget who you are
Only emotion (?)
Only devotion (?)
Clap your hands
Bring your toys
Can you float / feel
Girls and boys

Time to dance, time to dance, time to dance
Time to dance, time to dance, time to dance

Really Real
   
    _
Bobby Gillespie:
I don't feel
Any love
And I lost
Words to say

I don't want
I don't like
I don't want
You to stay


Any love
Any want
Do you feel
inner song (?)
Any touch
Just too much
And I feel
Inner sad

I don’t feel
Even love
‘Cause I’m lost
Without love

I don’t feel not really real
(I don't feel anything)
I don’t feel not really real
(I don't feel anything)
I don’t feel not really real
(I don't feel anything)
I don’t feel not really real
(I don't feel anything)

Any choice
Any voice

Too much force
Could change the course
And any lie
With any why
Swim in my head
And lay in bed (?)

With any heart
With any brain
Play any game
It's just the same

My heart's the beat
In every street
I never care
It's never fair

I don’t feel not really real
(I don't feel anything)
I don’t feel not really real
(I don't feel anything)
I don’t feel not really real
(I don't feel anything)
I don’t feel not really real
(I don't feel anything)

Bristol To London
   
    _

Blackman:
You know you say I move like a girl
No you say I move like a pussy
Like someone a ???
Like they look like a ??? I get rich to
And then they cry like baby
Ya go on like toughest starest
Gansta yall or nothin'
But ya know what
Don't even like talkin' wit ya
???
So yo

Marlon Thaws:
London's here
Bristol dere'
Bring all the mother f'ers '
Being scared
Cause I
Run this town
Like need no ground
You waiting to go to the bus
To clam you down
Put the mother of the world
And then we'll make em sound
Gonna run on his problems
Cause I know he is a clown
If you can't breast stroke
With the coat you’re bound to drown

Ya straight up and down

Cause when I come though
You see me shining
I represent chase
And team on team grinding
When you hear me strait
They all say sign him ha
Come on dog I'm one linein'
Especially man up
Who's got the wine in'
You wanna hate
A little cute pussy gettin' lined in
What I wanna do is
Step with my team on the mat
A couple or more of these tracks are rap

This is a hold up
When we roll up
When we run up to the enemy they fold up
This is Bristol and this is London
Collaboration east in the junction

This is a hold up
When we roll up
When we run up to the enemy they fold up
This is Bristol and this is London
Collaboration east in the junction

Tricky:
London's there
Bristol's here
Strait Z fools they's
Up in the gear
Ya misty
Locked up and nobody missed me
Hold the pistol
On the ranks
Ya I know it's risky
Know that the police
They still like to frisk me
They wanna lock me up
Like till I'm over sixty
More of them grew up
Like an old school fisty
Making hit 9 news
Like the prison kids they go
Suck your money
If you think you can diss me
Cause a gun sight
You gonna making wish
They never went a roll
On a beating fist spree
Existy swiftly moving on quickly
Rap mango's god I'm bringing you with me
It's like on E-bay
They bidding to get me
Said that to the gangsta
So they better respect me
Just that
You know this tracks a rap

This is a hold up
When we roll up
When we run up to the enemy they fold up
This is Bristol and this is London
Collaboration east in the junction
(repeat)
