Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm sittin' on my lunch break, grininn' my teeth (My teeth)
It's the last day of the week, boy, what  a relief (Relief)
My muscles kind of ache, they felt rigid and stiff
So I looked around, and I smoked this big fat spliff
Now I'm happy as can I'm in this pothead spell
I put some Visine in my eyes so that no one can tell
It's 12:55 almost for the bell
Put the breath mints in the mouth so that the mouth don't smell
Now back on the job, I don't bother no one
I keep strictly to myself and all my work gets done
Now the job's finally over it's time to have fun
And I'm hangin' out with Trevor there's a kid named John
Got real drunker than a skunk and happy as can be
We went to the Latin Quarters and we got in free
Scoopin' all the girls like nothing with my truck jewelry
'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 lookin' all down my throat
Was it my big chains with the big plates on 'em?
Then they rolled on me and told me to 'em
[Verse 2]
This was the moment I feared
(Hey, yo, homeboy, take off your chains, man
'Bout to hurt you real fuckin' bad, I'm gonna fuck you up)
This was the moment I feared
(Yo, what's the matter, stupid? Take the shits off, man
The fucks up?)
[Verse 3]
I said, "They're really not real, they're just a front for the girls"
Then a whole bunch of furious fists caved my world
I was in pain, so ashamed, I wish I had not came
Had to kindly pick up my face and then ride home on the train
Then I went to an open store, that's where I bought me a quart
Then I went to the park, and I sat and I thought
I seen Danny Boy though he's with his girl named Sarah
In one of his cars, I think this one's Rivera
She calls out to me, but, I really couldn't hear her
So I went just a little bit closer so I'd hear a little clearer
She said, "I need Veronica Place that's right near Tilden"
I said, "I know where that's at 'cause that's right next to my building"
I gave 'em the information and they went on their way
I went home, and there I slept till almost three the next day
Then someone knocked on my door, I opened up, no quit
It was Sarah with some magazines and a band-aid kit
She tried to use me and seduce me, and at first I wasn't with it
Then we did, and we did, and we did it, and we did it
She said it was great, she said she's glad we had done it
The elevator came and Danny Boy was on it
[Verse 4]
This was the moment I feared
(Hey, yo, what the fuck's goin' on here?
What you doin' to my girl, homeboy?)
This was the moment I feared
(Oh, I just know y'all didn't just finish fuckin'
I just know y'all ain't just finish fuckin')
[Verse 5]
Well, he was huffin' and puffin' and he swung at me (Word?)
So I pulled out my jammy and I silenced the nerd
Then he was dead, two in the head, I took the cash and the Visas
She said, "Don't worry about a thing just make sure nobody sees us"
We went back to her apartment, there was blow in the freezers
She said, "We're rich, we're rich, we can have whatever will please us"
Now I don't hang on with no one who ain't good for my health
So I put the sugar head out ad I went for self
Now I was rich, as rich I could have whatever would please me
Now I could wear real gold in front of folks that would tease me
Yeah me, I'll be a new neighborhood dad
Cat will roll up on me screamin', "Yo, Rick, my man"
I guess I was too fly, word up, I'm sorry to say
You see a cop rolled up and told me, "Make my day"
I said, "Relax, brother", but he had proof that I had done it
Yeah, he had poor Sarah's underwear with my fingerprints all on it
This was the rise and fall of my fast lane style
And I was the main event on the TV for awhile
But now I'm in jail doin' life and I'm scared
Some kids snuffed me cold and greased me where no one dared
[Verse 6]
This was the moment I feared
(Turn around, ****
Spread your cheeks)
This was the moment I feared
Uh, oh, stop, stop, uh
