Just A Moment

Just A Moment is by the rapper Nas, and it's one of his best songs ever. It features his protege, Quan. While 50 Cent only raps about guns, bitches, and "da hood", Nas raps about real things that affect real people. In this song, he tells us to remember people that have died, and not to forget their memories. Nas is one of the best lyricists in the business, second only to Joe Budden.

As day comes and night falls
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn
While wishin' y'all were home

Can we please have a moment for children?
Who got raped or murdered, or trapped in the system
Who never knew their father, never learned to dream
But was guided by drug dealers, killers and crack fiends

For single mothers that's forced to play mom and dad
Bustin' her ass to give her kids shit she never had
For my niggaz in the pen hopin' rhymes'll get 'em signed
So when released, they can say bye to a life of crime

For every mother that held a son in the street bleedin'
Cryin' a song of sorrow too dark and deep for speakin'
Just a moment outside the day to day struggle
To let the ones we really care about know that we love 'em

having a moment

Among other uses of the phrase, "I'm having a moment" can be used when one is experiencing an overwhelming revelation or is reeling from great surprise or shock and therefore cannot respond to further questions or information before processing the emotion/information and/or briefly recontextualising/reevaluating other beliefs.

Speaker A: "Hey did you know that glass doesn't actually flow like a liquid people just installed the uneven glass thick-side-down. Anyway what do you want me to order for lunch?" (Speaker A presents Speaker B in passing with information that contradicts a long-held belief of Speaker B)

Speaker B: "Sorry, I'm just having a moment right now" (Speaker B requests Speaker A to allow them time to process the novel information before commiserating about the next topic of lunch)

Stuck In A Moment

A motivation song by U2. Often used to cheer your buddies who has a bad day; but not for fat people, because the lyrics can be misconstrued as an insult.

Poor Bono. When Oprah laments about her weight gain, all he wanted to do was break into the song, "Stuck In A Moment" to cheer her up... Alas, he knew better... took her to a nice restaurant instead.
