Lyrics

[Intro: Flavor Flav] Hit me Somebody call an ambulance There's not a minute to spare Don't worry Haha, very funny, mother— There's not a minute to spare Don't worry Going, going, gone [Verse 1: Flavor Flav] Now 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 treat you like an ace that can't beat the trey A no-use number with no-use people If your life is on the line, then you're dead today Latecomers with the late-comin' 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 or legs to their miscalculation I can prove it to you, watch the rotation It all adds up to a fucked-up situation [Chorus: Flavor Flav] So get up, a-get, get, get down 911 is a joke in your town Get up, a-get, get, get down Late 911 wears the late crown Get up, a-get, get, get down 911 is a joke in your town Get up, a-get, get, get down Late 911 wears the late crown [Interlude: Flavor Flav] 911 is a joke 911 is a joke [Verse 2: Flavor Flav] Every day, 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 all are jokin' But they the token to your life when it's croakin' They need to be in a pawn shop on 'em 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 laughin' at you 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 [Chorus: Flavor Flav] So get up, a-get, get, get down 911 is a joke in your town Get up, a-get, get, get down Late 911 wears the late crown Get up, a-get, get, get down 911 is a joke in your town Get up, a-get, get, get down Late 911 wears the late crown [Interlude: Flavor Flav] Ah (911 is a joke) Ah (Ah), ah (911 is a joke) Flavor Flav says ah (Ah), ah (911 is a joke) Ah (Ah), ah (911 is a joke) [Chorus: Flavor Flav] So get up, a-get, get, get down 911 is a joke in your town (911 is a joke) Get up, a-get, get, get down Late 911 wears the late crown (911 is a joke) Get up, a-get, get, get down 911 is a joke in your town (911 is a joke) Get up, a-get, get, get down Late 911 wears the late crown (911 is a joke) [Outro: Flavor Flav] There's not a minute to spare Don't worry Somebody call an ambulance (911 is a joke) Somebody call an ambulance There's not a minute to spare Don't worry (911 is a joke) Somebody call an ambulance Don't worry There's not a minute to spare (911 is a joke) Somebody call an ambulance There's not a minute to spare Don't worry (911 is a joke)
