Adrian Thaws (born January 27, 1968), better known as Tricky, is an English rapper and musician important in the trip hop and British music scene (despite loathing the "trip hop" tag). He is noted for a whispering lyrical style that is half-rapped, half-sung. As a producer and a musician he is noted for having an aversion to perfection preferring to build up a dark, rich and layered sound. Culturally, Tricky bridges white and black Britain particularly in his fusion of rock and hip-hop, high art and pop culture. He has worked together with Massive Attackand appeared in the movie The Fifth Element as well as the music video for Parabola by Tool.

Brand New You’re Retro Lyrics
Tricky
Tricky :
We know, yes we know
Its my ego on fantastic.
But still, youre fuckin with my plastic
Dedicated, medicated,
They bend and break me
Overrate me
I take a small piece and make it breathe
It takes a second for a record sucka niggas wont believe
They stress me, test me, vex me
So what, you got a gun?
That shit dont impress me
Yes yes you always walks with the crew
Youre a motherfucker cause youre not alone
If you dont think Im a brother, then check my chromosome
Brand new, youre retro
I already passed you on a one-two
Ive been cued to this already
Bullet to the head.
Bullet to the head, what you know is joking?
What the fuck are you doin?
You come to represent my attention?
You need more than a mic and a mention.
Through the scars you see bars
Through the bars you see scars results of my rage.
Brand new, youre retro. (x3)
Martina :
Scared to skip and step in case you trip and fall
Thunder picks you up, slaps you on the wall
Thats maniacal, I cuff through my manocle
Mechanical and super-natty
Love is not talk, I walk on by
Exotic spices
If your mouth cant tame the meaning
Be careful of the faces youre seeing
A dread of the past and fear of the future
Thats maniacal, I cuff through my manocle
Mechanical and super-natty
Tricky :
Brand new, youre retro x3
Brand new, youre retro x3
Bullet to the head, what you know is joking?
What the fuck are you doin?
You come to represent my attention?
You need more than a mic and a mention.
Through the scars you see bars
Through the bars you see scars results of my rage.
Brand new, youre retro. (x3)
Brand new, youre retro. (x3)
Brand new, youre retro. (x3)
Brand new, youre retro. (x3)
