        Hit me
        Going, going, gone
        Now I dialed 911 a long time ago
        Don't you see how late they're reactin'
        They only come and they come when they wanna
        So get the morgue embalm the goner
        They don't care 'cause they stay paid anyway
        They teach ya like an ace they can't be betrayed
        I know you stumble with no use people
        If your life is on the line they you're dead today
        Late comings with the late comin' stretcher
        That's a body bag in disguise y'all betcha
        I call 'em body snatchers quick they come to fetch ya?
        With an autopsy ambulance just to dissect ya
        They are the kings 'cause they swing amputation
        Lose your arms, your legs to them it's compilation
        I can prove it to you watch the rotation
        It all adds up to a funky situation
        So get up get, get get down
        911 is a joke in yo town
        Get up, get, get, get down
        Late 911 wears the late crown

        911 is a joke

        Everyday they don't never come correct
        You can ask my man right here with the broken neck
        He's a witness to the job never bein' done
        He would've been in full in 8 9-11
        Was a joke 'cause they always jokin'
        They the token to your life when it's croakin'
        They need to be in a pawn shop on a
        911 is a joke we don't want 'em
        I call a cab 'cause a cab will come quicker
        The doctors huddle up and call a flea flicker
        The reason that I say that 'cause they
        Flick you off like fleas
        They be laughin' at ya while you're crawlin' on your knees
        And to the strength so go the length
        Thinkin' you are first when you really are tenth
        You better wake up and smell the real flavor
        Cause 911 is a fake life saver

        So get up, get, get get down
        911 is a joke in yo town
        Get up, get, get, get down
        Late 911 wears the late crown

        Ow, ow 911 is a joke
