Tricks Ain't Walking No More
Times done got hard
Money's done got scarce
Stealing and robbing is going to take place
'Cause tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
I said tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
And I'm going to rob somebody if I don't make me some dough
I'm going to do just like a blind man, stand and beg for change
Until this resting officer's, change my tricking name
'Cause tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
I said tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
And I have got to make my living, don't care where I go
I'm going to learn these walking tricks, what it's all about
I'm going to get them in my house, and ain't going to let them out
'Cause tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
I said tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
And I can't make no money, don't care where I go
I got up this morning, with the rising sun
Been walking all day and I ain't caught a one
'Cause tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
I said tricks ain't walking, tricks ain 't walking no more
And I can't make a dime, don't care where I go
I got up this morning feeling tough
I got to call in my tricks in the rough, rough, rough
'Cause tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
I said tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
And I've got to change my luck, if I have to make dough
Money's done got scarce
Stealing and robbing is going to take place
'Cause tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
I said tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
And I'm going to rob somebody if I don't make me some dough
I'm going to do just like a blind man, stand and beg for change
Until this resting officer's, change my tricking name
'Cause tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
I said tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
And I have got to make my living, don't care where I go
I'm going to learn these walking tricks, what it's all about
I'm going to get them in my house, and ain't going to let them out
'Cause tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
I said tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
And I can't make no money, don't care where I go
I got up this morning, with the rising sun
Been walking all day and I ain't caught a one
'Cause tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
I said tricks ain't walking, tricks ain 't walking no more
And I can't make a dime, don't care where I go
I got up this morning feeling tough
I got to call in my tricks in the rough, rough, rough
'Cause tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
I said tricks ain't walking, tricks ain't walking no more
And I've got to change my luck, if I have to make dough
