One Day Lyrics by Jeru the Damaja

Wrath of the Math

1996

[Intro: Sadat X]
One day
[Verse: Jeru the Damaja & Afu-Ra]
One day about six 'o clock I'm woke up
By the sound of my buzzer and a car or a truck
Screechin' off, so I jump up, scratch my nuts
But when I'm like: "Who's that?", nobody speaks up
So I go to the door, there's a note, it says:
"We have hip-hop hostage with guns to his throat
Do the right thing and we might let him go
But if you call the police, that's all she wrote
You know what the motive is, it's all about dough
And in case ya think we bullshittin', here's the photo"
I couldn't recognize the clowns 'cause they was all hooded down
But I peeped Foxy Brown sippin' Cristal in the background
With fake alligator boots on
And smack dab in the middle was hip-hop with a Versace suit on
I immediately called Premo, I said:
"Hip-Hop is in trouble, meet me at my rest on the double
Don't even jump in the shower, matter of fact scratch my rest
Meet me and D&D in an half an hour
And bring all ya shit with you 'cause you know what we got to do"
Yo Afu! (What's up?), lets jet-son like Elroy
If I recall correctly, I last saw hip-hop down at Bad Boy
We'll see if Puff knows what's up
'Cause he's the one gettin' him drunk and fuckin' his mind up
We go to the office, he's nowhere to be found
So we snatch up Jay Black and beat his bitch ass down
"Now where's Hip-Hop?!" "Aight, aight", he confessed:
"Suge came and took him from Puff last night
He said he'd give him up if a real nigga came to retrieve 'em"
So we went to L.A. later that evenin'
When we got there, everything was aight
And we brought hip-hop back home that night
One day
