1
Down at the best spot
2
Its me and JD and they sellin more birds than a pet shop
3
The spot's hot and everybody nervous
4
That's when the blue car served us
5
Oh why did fools had to let loose
6
Heard six pops from a deuce deuce
7
Big Tom had to push us
8
13 niggas runnin' straight to the bushes
9
For they gats so they could draw down
10
But why a motherfucker like me had to fall down
11
Not known why I dropped out
12
Fuck it, still can't afford to get popped out
13
So now I gotta jet
14
Only ran one block, but my shirt soakin' wet
15
Tryin' to see if we got him
16
Looked down at my sweatshirt red at the bottom
17
Didn't panic but I still looked cracked out
18
Yelled to the homies then I blacked out
19
Woke up in the back of a tray
20
On my way, to MLK
21
That the county hospital jack
22
Where niggas die over a little scratch
23
Still sittin' in the trauma center
24
In my back is where the bullet entered
25
Yo nurse I'm gettin' kind of warm
26
Bitch still made me fill out the fuckin' form
27
Coughin' up blood on my hands and knees
28
Then I heard "freeze nigger don't move"
29
Yo, I didn't do a thing
30
Didn't want to go out like my man Rodney King
31
Still got gaffled
32
Internal bleeding as the bullet starts to travel
33
Now I'm handcuffed
34
Being asked information on my gang affiliation
35
I don't bang, I rock the good rhymes
36
And I'm a victim of neighborhood crime
37
I need to see a MD
38
And y'all motherfuckers giving me the third degree
39
Look at the waiting room
40
Its filled to the rim like the county jail day room
41
Nobody gettin' help
42
Since we poor
43
The hospital move slow
44
Now I'm laid out
45
People steppin' over me to get closer to the tv
46
Just like a piece of dog shit
47
Now will I die on this nappy ass carpet
48
One hour done passed
49
Done watched two episodes of MASH
50
And when I'm almost through
51
They call my name and put me on ICU
52
Halfway dead
53
No respect and handcuffed to the bed
54
Now the trauma starts
55
'Cause the bullet must be just a hair from my heart
56
So I begin the ass kissin'
57
Just to get looked at by an overworked physician
58
Got the chills, but my temperatures 103
59
Only got a band-aid and an IV
60
That's when I start cussin'
61
Police steady askin' me who did the bustin'
62
Why oh why can't I get help
63
'Cause I'm black, I gots to go for self
64
Too many black bodies the hospital housin'
65
So at 10 P.M. I was Audi 5000
