The Moment I Feared

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I'm sittin' on my lunch break, grinnin' my teeth (My teeth) It's the last day of the week – boy, what a relief (Relief) My muscles kind of ache, they felt rigid and stiff So I looked around, and I smoked this big fat spliff Now I'm happy as can be, I'm in this pothead spell I put some Visine in my eyes, so that no one can tell It's 12:55, almost time for the bell Put the breath mints in the mouth, so that the mouth don't smell Now back on the job, I don't bother no one I keep strictly to myself, and all my work gets done Now the job's finally over, it's time to have fun And I'm hangin' out with Trevor, there's a kid named John Got real drunker than a skunk, and happy as can be We went to the Latin Quarters and we got in free Scoopin' all the girls like nothin', with my truck 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 down my throat Was it my big chains with the big plates on 'em? Then they rolled on me and told me to run 'em [Hook] This was the moment I feared... "Hey yo, homeboy, take off your chains, man 'Bout to hurt you real fuckin' bad, I'm gonna fuck you up" This was the moment I feared... "Yo, what's the matter, stupid? Take the shits off, man! The fuck is up?" [Verse 2] I said, "They're really not real, they're just a front for the girls" Then a whole bunch of furious fists caved my world I was in pain, so ashamed, I wish I had not came Had to kindly pick up my face, and then ride home on the train Then, I went to an open store, that's where I bought me a quart Then I went to the park, and I sat and I thought I seen Danny Boy, though he's with his girl named Sarah In one of his cars, I think this one's a Riviera She calls out to me, but, I really couldn't hear her So I went just a little bit closer, so I'd hear a little clearer She said, "I need Veronica Place, that's right near Tilden" I said, "I know where that's at, 'cause that's right next to my building" I gave 'em the information and they went on their way I went home, and there I slept 'til almost 3 the next day Then someone knocked on my door, I opened up – no quit! It was Sarah with some magazines and a Band-Aid kit She tried to use me and seduce me, and at first I wasn't with it Then we did it, and 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 came and Danny Boy was on it [Hook] This was the moment I feared... "Hey, yo, what the fuck's goin' on here? What you doin' to my girl, homeboy?" This was the moment I feared... "Oh, I just know y'all didn't just finish fuckin' I just know y'all ain't just finish fuckin'" [Verse 3] Well, he was huffin' and puffin' and he swung at me – word? So I pulled out my jammy and I silenced the nerd Then he was dead, two in the head, I took the cash and the Visa's She said, "Don't worry about a thing, just make sure nobody sees us" We went back to her apartment, there was blow in the freezers She said, "We're rich, we're rich, we can have whatever will please us" Now I don't hang with no one who ain't good for my health So I put the sugarhead out and I went for self 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 that would tease me Yah me, I'll be a new neighborhood dad Cats'll roll up on me screamin', "Yo, Rick, my man!" I guess I was too fly – word up, I'm sorry to say Ya see, a cop rolled up on me and told me, "Make my day" I said, "Relax, brother," but he had proof that I had done it Yep, he had poor Sarah's underwear with my fingerprints all on it This was the rise and fall of my fast lane style And I was the main event on the TV for a while But now I'm in jail, doin' life and I'm scared Some kids snuffed me cold and greased me where no one dared [Hook] This was the moment I feared... "Turn around, nigga (Hahahaha) Spread your cheeks" This was the moment I feared... "Uh, oh, stop, stop, uh"
