Moments
Slick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

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 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 nothin' 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 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
"Ayo, 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 sugar head 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
Yeah 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
Yeah 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 (hahaha)
Spread your cheeks"
This was the moment I feared
Uhh, oh ohh,




Stop, stop
Uhh, ohh ohh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Slick Rick's song "The Moment I Feared" tell the story of a man who falls victim to hubris and arrogance. At the beginning of the song, he is enjoying his break from work after smoking a joint and feels invincible. He goes out with friends, shows off his jewelry, and attracts attention from others. However, his confidence turns into fear when he finds himself threatened by others who want to take his jewelry.


The song takes a dark turn when the singer tries to sleep with a woman who turns out to be involved with a dangerous man. The man confronts him and a fight ensues, which leads to the singer killing the man. The rest of the song sees the singer getting caught by the police and ultimately getting sent to jail.


Overall, "The Moment I Feared" tells the cautionary tale of how arrogance and recklessness can lead to negative consequences.
