[Intro]
Ya know I'm sayin’, so I'm sayin’…
Ya know I'm sayin’, so I'm sayin’…
[Verse 1]
I had to listen to yo' mixtape grttin’ my teeth
The last song on the tape—oh, what a relief
The music sounded booty and as rigid as tin
So I took it out. Then, I put my own tape in
Now I'm happy as can be—it's workin’ out so well
People said I couldn't do it on the mic without El
It's the year two-thou, niggas soundin’ like hell
Put out independent singles, hopin’ my shit sells
Now back on the scene. I don't bother no one
I roll strictly with the Sqwad who let me do Tame One
All my blackin’ out is over—it's time to have fun
I be smokin’ Isabella with this kid named John
Gettin’ blunted up in front of clubs in NYC
We went to this open mic event and got in free
Grabbin’ all the girly booties, takin’ ecstasy
‘Cause I'm a wild north nigga and they don't stress me
Durban Dayer spit the vapor for some light ring smoke
And the club security was lookin’ all down my throat
Is it ‘cause I'm Tame and I'm always blunted?
Security ran down tellin’ me to gut it
It was the moment I feared…
[Guard] Yo yo yo, you can't blaze up in here
[Guard] Take it down five times George
[Tame1] This is the moment I feared
[Guard] Yo, don't make me take it from you
[Guard] Put it out or get out muhfuckers
[Verse 2]
I said, "Yo this is the deal. We only came for the girls
And for you takin’ my dutch, ain't no way in the world"
He said, "Tame, you know the game and how the NY changed"
Kicked us out the club and had to go back home in the train
So I went to a Buddha spot, then we got us a nick'
So we smoked and we joked about some industry shit
Saw my money on the block with this chick named Brenda
I used to hit, but I acted like I couldn't remember
She shouted me out, but I really couldn't hear her
So I got a little bit closer just to hear a little clearer
She said, "I'm lookin’ for Salem where I think they sell weed at"
I said, "I know where that's at ‘cause it's around where I be at"
I gave her the information and she went on her way
I went home and took it down ‘til almost two the next day
Someone's ringin’ my bell. I opened up, word bond
It was Brenda half-naked with an edible thong
Tried to suit me and seduce me, and at first I wasn't wit it
Then she licked it and I hit it, then we did it, and we did it
She said it was great, she said she’s glad we had done it
I walked her to the bus, but money grip was on it
It was the moment I feared…
[Money] Yo, what is you doin’ wit ya hand all over my girl's ass, duke?!
[Tame1] Easy, easy duke
[Money] Easy? Yo what is you doin’ up here
[Tame1] Hold up hold up, take it up witcha girl
[Money] I just KNOW y'all ain't get to fuck that lil' bitch!
[Verse 3]
While he was wilin’ out and blackin’, then he swung on me (word)
So I pulled out the weapon, then I silenced the hump
Then he was dead, two to the head. I took the cash and the Visa
She said, "We gotta merk," not wantin’ people to see us
We went up to the crib. She had some leak in the freezer
She said, "We're rich! We're rich! We can have whatever would please us"
Now I don't fuck with nothin’ that ain't good for my health
So I put this booger’s head out then I went for delf
Now I was rich, yes, I was rich—I could have whatever would please me
Rock jewels in front of the haters that used to tease me
Pop me, spot me jumpin’ outta the truck
Kids be runnin’ up all screamin, "Yo Tame, what’s up!"
I guess I was too flossy, but I'm sorry to say
Because this copper ran up on me, tell ya make my day
I said, "Relax brother," but he had proof that I had done it
‘Cause he had poor perv’s underwear with my fingerprints all on it
This was the rise and fall of my ill lifestyle
‘Cause I was the main’ event on the TV for awhile
But now I'm in jail doin’ life and it's beat
‘Cause every time I take a shower, niggas tryna peek
It was the moment I feared…
[Inmate] Yo whatchu got up under that towel nigga?
[Tame 1] Man, move ya fuckin’ hand man!
[Inmate] Nigga, come here for a minute!
[Tame 1] It was the moment I feared…
[Tame 1] Yo y'all fuckin’ butt-pirates better back the fuck up!
[Inmate] Give the ass up nigga!
[Tame 1] It was the moment I feared…
[Outro]
Slim Rick… Guess who's back… Ricky Walters… Who's that cat? Bitch… Maheem Brown… Uh uh… Eastern Conference in the… Boom Sqwad in the… The R, the R… ‘Cause that's the way it’ll hafta be… Jokers are wild, if ya wanna beat Tame… Deep concentration ‘cause I'm no comedian… Rhymin’ graffitian… North to south...
