The moment I feared Tricky: Well I'm sittin on my lunch break, grinnin my teeth It's the last day of the week, boy what a relief My muscles kind of ache, they felt rigid and stiff 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 eyedrops in my eyes so that no one can tell Now It's 5:45 almost time for the bell I'm back on the job, I don't bother no one I keep strictly to my ways till my job is done Now it's 5:45 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 words 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 in 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 the park and bought me a thought 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 a little clearer She said, "You know where we're chillin'?" I said, "I know where that is, just next to my building" I gave em the information and they I went on my way Then I went home, and slept til 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 gat and I silenced 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, "Trix 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 snuffed 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... |
