Tricky - The Moment I Feared lyrics

rate me

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..
