Well I'm sittin on my lunch break, grinnin 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 stuff

so I looked around, and I smoked this big fat spliff

Now I'm happy as can be I'm in this pothead spell

I put some Visine in my eyes so that no one can tell

It's 12:55 almost time for the bell

Put the breathmints 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 nuttin with my trunk jewelry

cause I'ma 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 down 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...

"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 fuck is up?"

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 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 brought/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 a Bravera

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 Blades 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 til almost three the next day

Then someone knocked on my door, I opened up, no quit!

It was Sarah with some magazines and a bag named Kit

She tried to use me and seduce me and at first I wasn't with it

Then we did it and 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 came and Danny Boy was on it

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"

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 Visa's

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 with no one who ain't good for my health

So I put the sugarhead out and I went for self

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 that would tease me

Yah me, I'll be a new neighborhood dad

Cats'll roll up on me screamin, "Yo Rick my man!!"

I guess I was too fly word up I'm sorry to say

Ya see a cop rolled up on me and told me, "Make my day"

I said, "Relax brother," but he had proof that I had done it

Yah they had false hair on 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 a while

but now I'm in jail doin life and I'm scared

Some kids snuffed me cold and greased me where no one dared

This was the moment I feared...

"Turn around nigga (HAHAHAHA)

Spread your cheeks"

This was the moment I feared...

"UHH, AOWWHWHWAA! STOP STOP! AHAOWWHAHAOOHO"
