In It For A Minute Lyrics

In It For A Minute by Foreign Beggars

• 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?”

• Even that you’re thinking that you’re in it for a minute,
• That minute could be linking to spilling over your limits.

• 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…
