The Moment I Feared

Sitting on my lunch break, grinning my teeth
It's the last day of the week, boy, what a relief
My muscles kind of ache, I feel 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
And now it's 5:45, almost time for the bell
I'm back on the job and 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 hanging around 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
Scooping all the girls with my fly jewellery
'Cause I'm a fly brown brother and you can't school me
Boogie Down was performing, hey, they ain't no joke

And a bunch of Brooklyn kids was looking 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 forty
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... 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 '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 huffing and puffing 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
Yeah, I'll be a new neighborhood dad
Cats'll roll up on me like, "Trick's my man"

You 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
Now I'm in prison, doing 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 doing 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
