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.

Daydreaming Lyrics
Tricky
Attitude is cool
Degrees below zero.
Up against the wall
Behaving like deniro.
Tricky's performing.
Taking his photo
Make him stand with a tan.
Touch it like cocoa.
Smooth keep it moving at the back now.
Free as the needle that's movnig through the track now.
....
Trouble and strife
Ain't no sunshine in my life.
Wiseguys get protection
When they carry a knife.
They shouldn't have been born.
They're making me yawn.
But i
Just take it easy like a sunday morn.
....
If i was a rich man
Daddy g: da da dada...
....
I quietly observe standing in my space.
It's the devious days they call the rat race.
It's a concrete jungle, evil in the town,
Weebles, wobble, occasional squabble,
But we're happy when the bomb drops
Down.
....
Well i'm tricky kid
Don't deal with sadness
Can't be with the one i love
I love the one that i miss.
I'm very down to earth
But brain sits on top floor.
Don't need another lover
Just need, i'm insecure.
....
Yes tricky kid
I check my situation.
Maggy this maggy that
Maggy means inflation.
Hip-hop you don't stop
Cause i'm not sloppy.
I like the beats
So we need another copy.
....
3d: you're a hooligan
You try to play the fool again.
Tricky: caught you in the lost and found
3d: when your posse weren't around.
Tricky: no crowd
3d: so you're going for you tool again.
