911 Is A Joke Lyrics - Fear Of A Black Planet - Public Enemy

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 

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 

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 

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 

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 

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 

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
