Tricky Nicky
Mike Pinto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tricky Nicky always ran around town
She’s the type of girl who'll turn your frown upside-down
Five fucking minutes in the sack and you’ll return with a
Dozen roses and some weed to burn
Shit you think I’m babbling but Nicky’s always dabbling
With coke she’ll smoke your grass toss your ass like a javelin
Before you get thrown here’s advice of my own
You better take out a mother-fucking loan

Tricky Nicky’s gonna spread her disease
Don’t bother to play the father she can’t have no babies
She’ll take your money and she’ll take your Benz
And for a tab of ecstasy she’ll do you and a friend
What a shame what a shame Tricky Nicky’s not the same
As she was before she got caught in the cocaine game
The coke she’d steal would make her feel good for an hour or two
‘Til she woke up with her throat cut in a hospital room

Oh you’ll have to forgive me I have spoke too much
You know as my pen hits the paper my lips hit the dutch
Well you know how that goes but lets continue to flow about
Poor old Tricky Nicky’s scenario

It was an emergency as she went under the knife as doctors
Urgently tried to save Nicky’s life there was a
Burglary and she was too high to fight
'Cause she was staying with a dealer that she met that night

Tricky Nicky always ran around town
She’s the type of girl who'll turn your frown upside-down
Five fucking minutes in the sack and you’ll return with a
Dozen roses and some weed to burn
Shit you think I’m lying but Nicky didn’t die
And the scar on her neck would only reflect the pain she keeps inside




So pass the story right on through cause that is all that you can do
'Cause Tricky Nicky’s coming to a town near you
