Lyrics

[00:00.26] Hit me
[00:19.27] Going, going, gone
[00:19.51] Now I dialed 911 a long time ago
[00:21.40] Don't you see how late they're reacting
[00:24.07] They only come and they come when they wanna
[00:26.02] So get the morgue truck and embalm the goner
[00:28.82] They don't care cause they stay paid anyway
[00:30.97] They treat you like an ace they can't be betrayed
[00:33.18] A no-use number with no-use people
[00:35.23] If your life is on the line then you're dead today
[00:37.91] Latecomers with the late coming stretcher
[00:39.86] That's a body bag in disguise y'all, I'll betcha
[00:42.52] I call 'em body snatchers cause they come to fetch ya
[00:44.50] With an autopsy ambulance just to dissect ya
[00:47.09] They are the kings cause they swing amputation
[00:49.04] Lose your arms, your legs to them it's compilation
[00:51.78] I can prove it to you watch the rotation
[00:53.77] It all adds up to a fucked up situation
[00:55.89]
[00:56.51] So get up get, get get down
[00:58.64] 911 is a joke in yo town
[01:01.11] Get up, get, get, get down
[01:03.12] Late 911 wears the late crown
[01:05.68] So get up get, get get down
[01:07.58] 911 is a joke in yo town
[01:10.41] Get up, get, get, get down
[01:12.38] Late 911 wears the late crown
[01:18.57] 911 is a joke
[01:23.06] 911 is a joke
[01:24.54]
[01:24.72] Everyday they don't never come correct
[01:26.57] You can ask my man right here with the broken neck
[01:28.80] He's a witness to the job never being done
[01:31.25] He would've been in full effect
[01:33.25] But late 911 was a joke cause they only joking
[01:35.84] They the token to your life when it's croaking
[01:38.08] They need to be in a pawn shop on a
[01:40.25] 911 is a joke we don't want 'em
[01:42.61] I call a cab cause a cab will come quicker
[01:44.80] The doctors huddle up and call a flea flicker
[01:47.28] Reason why I say that cause they flick you off like fleas
[01:49.59] They be laughing at you while you're crawling on your knees
[01:52.26] And to the strength so go the length
[01:54.08] Thinkin' you are first when you really are tenth
[01:56.49] You better wake up and smell the real flavor
[01:58.81] Cause 911 is a fake life saver
[02:00.94]
[02:01.37] So get up get, get get down
[02:03.28] 911 is a joke in yo town
[02:05.87] Get up, get, get, get down
[02:07.96] Late 911 wears the late crown
[02:10.52] So get up get, get get down
