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 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 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 [myself] 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 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[y]] 
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/Bravera?] 
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...Tilden" 
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 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 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..
