Ice Cube - Alive On Arrival lyrics

Your rating:

Its 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 gats so they could draw down
 But why a motherfucker like me had to fall down
 Not known why I dropped out
 Fuck 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 the county hospital jack
 Where niggaz die over a little scratch
 Still 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 fuckin 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 ya'll mothafuckers giving me the third degree
 Look at the waiting room
 Its 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 ass carpet
 One hour done passed
 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
 So I begin the ass kissin
 Just to get looked at by an overworked physician
 Got the chills, but my temperatures 103
 Only got a band-aid and an IV
 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
