Alive On Arrival

Down at the best spot It's me and JD and they sellin' more birds than a pet shop The spot's hot and everybody nervous That's when the blue car served us Oh why did fools had to let loose Heard six pops from a deuce deuce Big Tom had to push us 13 niggaz runnin' straight to the bushes For they got so they could draw down But why a motherf**ker like me had to fall down Not known why I dropped out f**k it, still can't afford to get popped out So now I gotta jet Only ran one block, but my shirt soakin' wet Tryin' to see if we got him Looked down at my sweatshirt red at the bottom Didn't panic, but I still looked cracked out Yelled to the homies then I blacked out Woke up in the back of a tray on my way to MLK That's the county hospital jack Where niggaz die over a little scratch Sittin' in the trauma center In my back is where the bullet entered Yo nurse, I'm gettin' kind of warm Bitch still made me fill out the f**kin' form Coughin' up blood on my hands and knees Then I heard, "Freeze nigger don't move" Yo, I didn't do a thing Didn't wanna go out like my man Rodney King Still got gaffled, internal bleeding as the bullet starts to travel Now I'm handcuffed being asked information on my gang affiliation I don't bang, I rock the good rhymes And I'm a victim of neighborhood crime I need to see a MD And y'all mothaf**kers giving me the third degree Look at the waiting room It's filled to the rim like the county jail day room Nobody gettin' help Since we poor, the hospital move slow now I'm layed out People steppin' over me to get closer to the TV Just like a piece of dog shit Now will I die on this nappy a*s carpet One hour done pa*sed Done watched two episodes of M*A*S*H And when I'm almost through They call my name and put me on ICU Halfway dead, no respect and handcuffed to the bed Now the trauma starts 'Cause the bullet must be just a hair from my heart Then I begin the a*s kissin' Just to get looked at by an overworked physician Had the chills, but my temperatures 103 Only got a band-aid and an I.V That's when I start cussin' Police steady askin' me who did the bustin'? Why oh, why can't I get help? 'Cause I'm black, I gots to go for self Too many black bodies the hospital housin' So at 10 P.M. I was Audi 5000
