Somebody call an ambulance

There's not a minute to spare

Don't worry

There's not a minute to spare

Don't worry

Going, going, gone

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 truck and 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 then you're dead today

Late comers with the late comin' stretcher

That's a body bag in disguise y'all, I 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 their miscalculation

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

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 bein' done

He would've been in full effect

But late 911 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

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

How (911 is a joke) how, how (911 is a joke)

How, how (911 is a joke) how, how (911 is a joke)

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

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
