Lyrics for 'Black Steel' by 'Tricky'
Martina :
I Got A Letter From The Government
The Other Day
Opened It And Read It
It Said They Were Suckers
They Wanted Me For Their Army Or Whatever
Picture Me Givin' A Damn, I Said Never
Here Is A Land That Never Gave A Damn
About A Brother Like Myself
Because I Never Did
I Wasn't Wit' It, But Just That Very Minute...
It Occurred To Me
The Suckers Had Authority
Cold Sweatin' As I Dwell In My Cell
How Long Has It Been?
They Got Me Sittin' In The State Pen
I Gotta Get Out, But That Thought Was Thought Before
I Contemplated A Plan On The Cell Floor
I'm Not A Fugitive On The Run
But A Brother Like Me Begun, To Be Another One
Public Enemy Servin' Time, They Drew The Line Y'all
They Criticize Me For Some Crime

I Got A Letter, I Got A Letter, I Got A Letter
Picture Me Given' A Damn, I Said Never
Mmm...mmm...mmm
It Occurred To Me
The Suckers Had Authority
Cold Sweatin' As I Dwell In My Cell
How Long Has It Been?
They Got Me Sittin' In The State Pen
I Gotta Get Out, But That Thought Was Thought Before

I Got A Letter From The Government
The Other Day
Opened It And Read It
It Said They Were Suckers
They Wanted Me For Their Army Or Whatever
Picture Me Givin' A Damn, I Said Never
Here Is A Land That Never Gave A Damn
About A Brother Like Me And Myself
Because I Never Did
I Wasn't Wit' It, But Just That Very Minute...
It Occurred To Me
The Suckers Had Authority
Cold Sweatin' As I Dwell In My Cell
How Long Has It Been?
They Got Me Sittin' In The State Pen
I Gotta Get Out, But That Thought Was Thought Before
I Contemplated A Plan On The Cell Floor
I'm Not A Fugitive On The Run
I'm Not A Fugitive On The Run

Tricky :
Many Switch In, Switch On, Switch Off X5

Martina :
Nevertheless They Could Not Understand
That I'm A Black Man, And I Could Never Be A Veteran.
On The Strength Of Situations, I'm Real.
I Got A Raw Deal, So I'm Lookin' For The Steel
Looking For The Steel.

I Got A Letter From The Government
The Other Day
Opened And Read It
It Said They Were Suckers
They Wanted Me For Their Army Or Whatever
Picture Me Givin' A Damn, I Said Never
Here Is A Land That Never Gave A Damn
About A Brother Like Me And Myself
Because They Never Did
I Wasn't Wit' It, But Just That Very Minute...
It Occurred To Me
The Suckers Had Authority
Cold Sweatin' As I Dwell In My Cell
How Long Has It Been?
They Got Me Sittin' In The State Pen
I Gotta Get Out, But That Thought Was Thought Before
I Contemplated A Plan On The Cell Floor
I'm Not A Fugitive On The Run
I'm Not, I'm Not
I'm Not A Fugitive On The Run
But A Brother Like Me Begun, To Be Another One
Public Enemy Servin' Time, They Drew The Line Y'all
To Criticize Me For Some Crime

I Got A Letter From The Government
The Other Day

Picture Me Givin' A Damn, I Said Never
Here Is A Land That Never Gave A Damn
