Run DMC were one of the true pioneers of rap music. Formed in the early eighties they had a string of hit singles and multi-platinum albums through the decade which helped to define the sound of contemporary rap music. They also pioneered the crossover with rock and pop typified by their worldwide hit "Walk This Way", which they recorded with Aerosmith. This concert at Montreux in 2001 was one of the last they performed before the tragic death of Jam Master Jay in 2002.

This track is one of the all-time hip hop classics, and is available on DVD as part of the full concert. "Live at Montreux 2001" is out now on Eagle Vision.

[Intro]

This speech is my recital, I think it's very vital

To rock (a rhyme), that's right (on time)

It's Tricky is the title, here we go...

It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time

It's Tricky...it's Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky)

It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time

It's Tricky...Tr-tr-tr-tricky (Tricky) Trrrrrrrrrrricky

[Verse 1]

I met this little girlie, her hair was kinda curly

Went to her house and bust her out, I had to leave real early

These girls are really sleazy, all they just say is please me

Or spend some time and rock a rhyme, I said "It's not that easy"

It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time

It's Tricky...(How is it D?) It's Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Trrrrrricky)

It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time

It's Tricky...Tricky (Tricky) Tricky

[Verse 2]

In New York the people talk and try to make us rhyme

They really (hawk) but we just (walk) because we have no time

And in the city it's a pity cos we just can't hide

Tinted windows don't mean nothin', they know who's inside

It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time

It's Tricky...(How is it D?) Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky)

It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time

It's Tricky...Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky) huh!

[Verse 3]

When I wake up people take up mostly all of my time

I'm not singin', phone keep ringin' cos I make up a rhyme

I'm not braggin', people naggin' cos they think I'm a star

Always tearin' what I'm wearin', I think they're goin' too far

A girl named Carol follows Daryll every gig we play

Then D dissed her and dismissed her, now she's jockin' Jay

I ain't lyin', girls be cryin' cos I'm on TV

They even bother my poor father cos he's down with me

It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time

It's Tricky...(How is it?) Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky)

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 4]

We are not thugs (we don't use drugs) but you assume (on your own)

They offer coke (and lots of dope) but we just leave it alone

It's like that y'all (y'all), but we don't quit

You keep on (rock!) shock! Cos this is it...

Seriously? A hip-hop band formed in 1981 does not lip-sync. Run-D.M.C. is too good to do that crap.

It saddens me to think that Jay died only a year after this epic performance...
