Hit me

Going, going, gone
Now I dialed 911 a long time ago
Don't you see how late they're reacting
They only come and they come when they wanna
So get the morgue truck and embalm the goner
They don't care cause they stay paid anyway
They treat you like an ace they can't be betrayed
A no-use number with no-use people
If your life is on the line then you're dead today
Latecomers with the late coming stretcher
That's a body bag in disguise y'all, I'll betcha
I call 'em body snatchers cause 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 fucked up situation

[Chorus: x2]
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
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 being done
He would've been in full effect
But late 911 was a joke cause they only joking
They the token to your life when it's croaking
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
Reason why I say that cause they flick you off like fleas
They be laughing at you while you're crawling 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

[Chorus: x2]

911 is a joke
911 is a joke

[Chorus: x2]

    General Comment:It was true for Reno 911 and its true for real life. If someone gets shot in a black neighboorhood, you should just drive to the hospital, it's quicker! The police, ambulance people, and firemen won't come near a black neighboorhood to quick. I should know, I'm black myself! We had a bunch of gang grafitti on the street and on a house of these old people who passed away in the house. We called the police like 5 or 6 times then they finally come when everyone is asleep. The next morning that grafitti was gone and we didn't see anybody out cleaning. I live around Trezvant, Debby, and Brookemeade in memphis, we hear gun shots all the time and for some reason I never hear the police, then we got one who actually live in the neighborhood too!
