My Evil Is Strong Lyrics

"Well I see it so much
( I see it so much ) I see it so much
( I see it so much ), I see it, I see it "

Tricky and Martina:
Before you test, know what's going on,
I've been around for long, my evil is strong
I lie awake and hate you,
Maybe that's strong enough to make you

One, Two, One, Two, Catch up
Before you test, know what's going on,
I've been around for long, my evil is strong
I lie awake and hate you,
Maybe that's strong enough to make you
Something happened-a car crash
Make you play with a weapon
A gun in your mouth, my voice in your mind

Two before you test, know what's going on,
I've been around for long, my evil is strong
I lie awake and hate you
Maybe that's enough to make you
Something happened-a car crash
make you play with a weapon
A gun in your mouth, my voice in your mind
Sleep and I'll find you,
Put my mind to, am I strong enough?
Watch me rock a thousand stage

My funny valentine, I don't find you funny
Seaside, the sunny, the fame, the money
Who am I to say, do you wanna be a?
No, I can't say it, my mouth is like a...
Bittersweet and twisted, deceitful,rough and gifted
Even got God scared, mend the things we did
Making children, strong enough to take a life
Are you strong enough to take care of one?
I'm a work on it, pray on it, stay on it
I'm a work on it, pray on it and stay in it
I'm a work on it ,pray on it and stay in it
I'm a work on it, pray on it and stay in it

Before you test, know what's going on,
I've been around for long, my evil is strong
I lie awake and hate you
Maybe that's enough to make you
Something happened-a car crash
Make you play with a weapon
A gun in your mouth, my voice in your mind
Sleep and I'll find you, put my mind to, am I strong enough?
Watch me rock a fifty thousand stage
Cannot tell me, do you feel it?
Is this energy strong enough to work you like a blade?
I'm a work on it, pray on it, stay on it
I'm a work on it, pray on it and stay in it

My funny valentine, I don't find you funny
Seaside, the sunny, the fame, the money
Who am I to say, do you wanna be a?
No, I can't say it, my mouth is like a...
Bittersweet and twisted,deceitful, rough and gifted
Even got God scared, mend the things we do
Making children strong enough to take a life
Are you strong enough to look after one?
I'm a work on it, pray on it, stay in it
I'm a work on it, I'm work on it
Pray on it and stay in it

My funny valentine, I don't find you funny
Seaside, the sunny, the fame, the money
Who am I to say,do you wanna be a?
No, I can't say it, my mouth is like a...
Bittersweet and twisted,deceitful, rough and gifted
Even got God scared
Even got God scared
Even God's,God's scared
Mend the things we do
Making children strong enough to take a life,
But are you strong enough to take care of one?
I'm a pray on it, stay in it, stay on it
I'm a work on it, pray on it, stay in it
I'm a work on it, pray on it ( stay in it )

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is pretty much the most insane you can get and make a song about it...it's about fame, I guess.

Took me a while to parse this song, but I think it’s about the narrator darkly fantasizing whether he can, more or less, kill his partner by wishing her dead (or if you prefer, kill her with “black magic.”)

Its Tricky, so he tends to use fairly abstract and suggestive lyrics, but I think the narrator is basically stuck in a long-term relationship he’s not terribly enthralled with, is at the point where his significant other is asking to have his kid (“Making children… are you strong enough to take care of one…”) and is basically bitter enough that he’s fantasizing he can just wish her dead and be done with the relationship (‘I lie awake and hate you/Maybe that’s wrong enough to make you…Make you play with a weapon/A gun in your mouth, my voice in your mind’).

Pretty dark subject matter, like so much of the album it appears in.
