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

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.

Tricky, real name Adrian Nicholas Matthews Thaws (born in Bristol in 1968), is a British musician known for his experimental and dark musical style. His distinctive voice, often described as a whispered sprechgesang, blends with electronic atmospheres, trip hop and dub reggae influences. Tricky has collaborated with prominent artists such as Massive Attack, Björk and Robert Del Naja (3D) of Massive Attack. His debut album, *Maxinquaye* (1995), is considered a classic of the trip hop genre and helped define the sound of the British music scene in the 1990s. Other important albums include *Pre-Millennium Tension* (1996) and *Juxtapose* (2001). Among Tricky's most representative tracks are "Hell is Round the Corner", "Black Steel" and "Ponderosa".

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
