Foreign Beggars – In It For A Minute Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- Damn! Late to work,
- Boss on beef and I hate the jerk,
- Could have been a day full of grace and mirth,
- But I figured last slave and I’ll make him hurt,
- So I reached for his throat, ? his shirt,
- He’s pretty weak for a bloke, gave a little scream,
- Then he breezed in his coat pretty fast man,
- All I could see was the smoke,
- So I left a note,
- It said: “Dear Mr. Jones, I quit!”
- “Next time I see you, better have my cheque”
- “And if you don’t, well I know where you live”
- “I’m a come around gully up your house in the sticks”
- Now I’m just pissed, looking for somebody to rough up,
- And anybody ? getting stuck or bruck up,
- And One Shot’s bruv got snuffed from one punch,
- Chucked up last night’s dinner and ’nuff lunch.
- Guess I could’ve left right then,
- Could’ve headed out, ? start fighting,
- But I got a taste for the blood on my knuckle,
- Start to give chase with a laugh and a chuckle.
- Hid beneath the table, cowered in the lunch room,
- Running down the corridor waving a belt strap,
- Heard a gun shot, felt pain and I fell back.
- Raaare! That’s when I thought I was dead,
- And I didn’t wanna die ‘cos I figure that’s dread,
- But when I woke up, I was cuffed to a bed in a hospital,
- Telling this story to the Feds,
- And I begged, “Please don’t lock me up!”
- They looked at me and said, “Blood, you must be nuts!”
- “‘Cause we’re the only ones who run around ?,
- And we’ll be damned if we let a boy fuck with us, ya know?”
Chorus
- Even that you’re thinking that you’re in it for a minute,
- That minute could be linking to spilling over your limits.
Verse 2
- I stand on my lonesome,
- Man with a plan,
- I was picked by the hand of the chosen,
- I was jammin’ on road when a voice said,
- “Come back down to the land of the broken”
- Yo, I was standing there jokin’,
- When a brother straight stepped in my face,
- Tryin’ to hand me a toke ting,
- I was like all taken aback,
- At first I was baffed ‘cos I thought he was jokin’,
- He was like “take this”,
- Man was in a rush so I didn’t ask qestions,
- He was on a ting like, “Man, don’t you trust me?”
- I was like “Mmm..” all tryin’ to stay patient.
- “Gwaan blud? Don’t ya wanna feel weightless?”
- Breathe in the madness once in your life,
- That’s when I looked in his eyes,
- Clocked bredder was a nutcase
- Holdin’ a gun to my side
- He said, “Come follow me down this road for a second”
- “Bredren, listen!”
- So I looked to the left, to the right, and I looked back,
- Caught a glimpse of myself,
- Stood back in the distance.
- All baffed in the instance,
- Wondering How? When? Why?
- But it happened too quick
- Bredder just laughed in my face,
- Unloaded two clips,
- So I fell to the ground,
- Starin’ me down was a br’er that was wearing a crown,
- Surrounded by the light that was blinding,
- Mind in a mess, stressed out, tryin’ to ? in the sound,
- Now something was shaking,
- Under my feet,
- Felt the ground open up,
- I could sense the danger,
- Hence I remember the day I was swept away,
- From the blade of a stranger…
