The Moment I Feared |
| Well, I’m sittin' on my lunch break, grinnin' my teeth |
| It’s the last day of the week, boy, what a relief |
| My muscle’s kind of ache, they felt rigid and stuff |
| So I turned around, and I smoked this big fat spliff |
| Now I’m happy as can be, I’m in this pothead spell |
| I put some eye drops in my eyes so that no one can tell |
| Now it’s five forty five almost time for the bell |
| I’m back on the job, I don’t bother no one |
| I keep strictly to till my job is done |
| Now it’s five forty five it’s time to have fun |
| I’m hangin' out with a rapper, a kid named Don |
| We got more drunk than a skunk and happy as can be |
| We went, to the Latin quarters and we got in free |
| Scoopin' all the girls with my fly jewelry |
| 'Cause I’m a fly brown brother and you can’t school me |
| Boogie down was performin', hey they ain’t no joke |
| And a bunch of Brooklyn kids was lookin' all up my throat |
| Was it my big chains with the big plates on 'em? |
| Then they rolled on me and told me to run 'em |
| This was the moment I feared |
| «Yo take off your chains» |
| This was the moment I feared |
| «You need to take those chains off» |
| I said, «They're really not real |
| They’re just a front for the girls» |
| Then a whole bunch of fists just caved my world |
| I was in pain, so ashamed, I wish I never came |
| Had to pick up my face and go home on the train |
| Then I went to my apartment and brought me a fort |
| Then I went to the park, and I sat and I thought |
| I seen Danny boy blue with his girl named Sarah |
| In one of their cars, I think it was a Valera |
| She called out to me, but I really didn’t hear her |
| So I went a little closer so I could hear a little clearer |
| She said «You know where, Tilden» |
| I said, «I know where that is, just next to my building» |
| I gave 'em the information and then I went on my way |
| Then I went home, and slept till two the next day |
| There was a knock on my door, I opened it, no quit |
| It was Sarah standing there with a bag named Kit |
| She starts to use me and abuse me and at first I wasn’t with it |
| Then we did it and we did it and we did it |
| She said it was great, she said she’s glad we had done it |
| The elevator come and Danny boy was on it |
| This was the moment I feared |
| This was the moment I feared |
| Well he was huffin' and puffin' and he swung at me word |
| So I pulled out my jam and sauced the nerd |
| Then he was dead two in the head I took the cash and the Visa’s |
| She said, «Everything's all right, just make sure nobody sees us» |
| Now I was rich as I was rich, I could have whatever would please me |
| Now I could wear real gold in front of folks who don’t tease me |
| Yah, I’ll be a new neighborhood dad |
| Cats’ll roll up on me like, «Trick's my man!» |
| Ya see a policeman rolled up on me and told me, «Make my day» |
| I said «Relax brother», but he had proof that I had done it |
| He found the gun with my fingerprints on it |
| But now I’m in prison doin' life and I’m scared |
| Some kid knocked me cold and greased me where no one dared |
| This was the moment I feared |
| «Now bend over!» |
| This was the moment I feared |
| «Take your trowsers down, and bend over!» |
| Now I’m doin' life and I’m scared |
| A kid knocked me cold and greased me where no one dared |
| The moment I feared |
| This was the moment I feared |
