Ambulance

Call the ambulance, I'm 'bout to fall out again

Take me to the church, tell the Lord that I repent for my sins

Before I go home, make sure mama know she raised a good man

The red and white lights tell me that I'm getting close to my end

I'm 'bout to fall out again

Hurry up, I need the medics on the phone quick

He's gettin' cold, he's breathin' slow, and eyes as low as shit

I think he know it's time to go, but he just layin' stiff

He turnin' pale, the color leavin' from his skin and lips

I hope the Lord gon' catch his soul, I see it startin' to slip

If I hear the sirens far away in the dark, don't know how close they is

But tell 'em get to movin', man, he dyin', mama tryin' her best

But CPR ain't workin', she done tried compression on his chest

I ran to granny's, woke her up, and told her daddy dyin'

Took the shoes up off my feet and gave 'em to her as I ran back cryin'

Askin' God like why is it his time? Just let my pops survive

'Cause I knew he wasn't close, but we ain't even have no time to try

Just let me talk before he go, hold his hand a lil' more

It's so much shit to say and for so many years, it went unspoke

Just give me one more day, then You can go ahead and bring him home

Shit, call the ambulance, he's turnin' purple, man, I think he gone

Call the ambulance, I'm 'bout to fall out again

Take me to the church, tell the Lord that I repent for my sins

Before I go home, make sure mama know she raised a good man

The red and white lights tell me that I'm getting close to my end

I'm 'bout to fall out again

I guess God's callin' me back and it's my time to leave

I never thought I wouldn't wake up when I fell asleep

But here I am watchin' my death and I can't intervene

I see 'em tryna bring me back, hopin' they can help me breathe

Mama tryna pick me up, granny pressin' on my chest

Brother see his brother on the floor 'bout to get laid to rest

I hear the sirens far back in the dark, but they ain't got here yet

Jamontie lookin' in, hopin' that they find a single breath

A lot of things that I regret that I ain't get to fix

The worst part about it is that I won't be here for my kids

'Cause I taught Jamontie well, or so I hope, he gotta be the man

It's crazy I won't ever get to hug my fuckin' son again

Like let me speak before I go, hold me up a little more

So much shit to say that for so many years just went unspoke

Just give me one more day, then You can go ahead and take me home

Call the ambulance, I'm turnin' purple, man, I think I'm gone

Call the ambulance, I'm 'bout to fall out again

Take me to the church, tell the Lord that I repent for my sins

Before I go home, make sure mama know she raised a good man

The red and white lights tell me that I'm getting close to my end

I'm 'bout to fall out again
