Then I begin the ass kissin'
Why oh, why can't I get help?
Only ran one block, but my shirt soakin' wet
I need to see a MD
Then I heard, "Freeze nigger don't move"
Not known why I dropped out
Coughin' up blood on my hands and knees
Didn't panic, but I still looked cracked out
One hour done passed
So now I gotta jet
Look at the waiting room
'Cause the bullet must be just a hair from my heart
The spot's hot and everybody nervous
Just to get looked at by an overworked physician
But why a motherfucker like me had to fall down
'Cause I'm black, I gots to go for self
Done watched two episodes of M*A*S*H
Where niggaz die over a little scratch
Had the chills, but my temperatures 103
Police steady askin' me who did the bustin'?
Bitch still made me fill out the fuckin' form
In my back is where the bullet entered
Fuck it, still can't afford to get popped out
I don't bang, I rock the good rhymes
Yo nurse, I'm gettin' kind of warm
13 niggaz runnin' straight to the bushes
That's the county hospital jack
Nobody gettin' help
Too many black bodies the hospital housin'
Heard six pops from a deuce deuce
Just like a piece of dog shit
That's when the blue car served us
It's filled to the rim like the county jail day room
Tryin' to see if we got him
Since we poor, the hospital move slow now I'm layed out
That's when I start cussin'
And I'm a victim of neighborhood crime
Now the trauma starts
They call my name and put me on ICU
Now I'm handcuffed being asked information on my gang affiliation
For they got so they could draw down
Now will I die on this nappy ass carpet
Looked down at my sweatshirt red at the bottom
Only got a band-aid and an I.V
Still got gaffled, internal bleeding as the bullet starts to travel
Woke up in the back of a tray on my way to MLK
Didn't wanna go out like my man Rodney King
Oh why did fools had to let loose
Yo, I didn't do a thing
And y'all mothafuckers giving me the third degree
Yelled to the homies then I blacked out
Sittin' in the trauma center
And when I'm almost through
People steppin' over me to get closer to the TV
Big Tom had to push us
Halfway dead, no respect and handcuffed to the bed
