Tricks of the Shade

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Madd] Tell me what`s up, tell me how to run it, down The tricks of the shade got you merry-going round Rich moving in got the poor moving out The property values dropping, so they can`t afford that house Might I say my-my, how time flies right by Punks talking junk trying to feed me apple pie 17 to mount Vernon, not a lot of earning Built some fly new apartments and the tabletops turning Like a journey man yearning To make that quick buck Scams running friends, ay yo, kid, you better duck They move into your neighborhood now all of a sudden it`s good enough So let the good get rough and tougher I`ve had enough of rich motherfuckers taking from my brothers Imma quick to pick an upper My brothers moving out, yo, we gotta make room for the white man Damn, yo, I think I smell a scam [Verse 2: Swayzack] Learning the tricks of the shade, the trades of the trickiest The stickiest motherfucker in the history of hypocrites Сolombius destroyed more Indians than Hitler killed jews But on his birthday you get sales on shoes And this is all old news but can`t find it You snooze, you lose, so I choose to rewind it Offer gun for gold but behold a real plan Using shady treaties trading trickies for land They should have scalped his ass before he even touched sand Everything was grand until the sixteen 0`9 That`s when the swine swimmers started freezing and starving But who did they turn to when the times get harden? I beg your pardon, punk, but that shit`s shady You want relief from the Chief after you rape his lady? But maybe your time`s up, cause here comes the Swayzack After five hundred fucking years, here`s a payback [Verse 3: OaTIe Kato] T-tricks of the shade, devils try to get paid Can`t relight, getting hype with the type of Gatorade Bush pulls on the strings, says a trickle is a thing But it ain`t tricked down around my pockets at a wang Sing it`s money for the wealthy, healthy is for the healthy
