I'm in my crib feeling blast |
|
Early afternoon session and my homies just left |
|
All of a sudden started feeling mad stressed |
|
Like an elephant was standing on my mother ******* chest |
|
Now I start to panic and the game took in false |
|
Agitated by accelerated rates of my pulse |
|
I called up my lady like I think I'm dying, hon |
|
She said, get off the phone with me and call 911 |
|
I tried, cause *************t was really faded in a hurry at this point |
|
The numbers on my phone was all blurry and *************t |
|
But by the grace of god I managed to dial |
|
And told them please send somebody to my crib right now! |
|
I knew that that's the only way that I would stand a chance |
|
I'm a rider, but now I'll be riding in an ambulance! |
|
They found me face down on a pavement |
|
Probably thinking about my tombstone engravement |
|
Vague memories were begging for resistance |
|
They said they couldn't help me |
|
But we're just a short distance from a hospital |
|
Mass general, class medical facility, incredible professional abilities |
|
Next thing that I remember was my mom's voice |
|
Ain't she in VA and holding my hands |
|
My aunt Joyce, what's going on? |
|
How long have I been strapped to this table? |
|
I wanna speak, but the ventilator makes me not able |
|
I'm hoping that is just a nigh*******are |
|
But every time I open my eyes I'm right there |
|
Tools and machines everywhere, I guess they're helping me survive |
|
Well, at least I'm alive! |
|
Been down, been down, now, now I'm back |
|
Been down, been down, now, now I'm back |
|
Been down, been down, now, now I'm back |
|
Never felt more alive |
|
A so called heart attack |
|
Got you brother acting, ICU |
|
You almost murdered me |
|
It's time for a emergency, surgery |
|
In and out of consciousness, doping me up |
|
Not knowing they're about to call, open me up |
|
They couldn't hesitate, they had to saw through my chest plate |
|
It's sort of wild how they fix my aortic valve |
|
Artificial parts and wires will take months to heal |
|
Now it's for real when I say that I'm the man of steel |
|
Friday the 13th, the day that I won't be hating soon |
|
Cause friends and family was pondering in the waiting room |
|
Words spread quicker than a stronger aroma |
|
Roumer was that your boy was in a comma, yeah! |
|
*************t was serious, of course I was oblivious |
|
Damn near frozen, but not decomposing |
|
Best friend in my ear saying I'm the chosen one |
|
The resurrection, far from the dead direction |
|
Cousin hugging my arm for what felt like days |
|
For all the love I was amazed |
|
Then the docs finally let me know that I would survive |
|
I can't believe I'm alive |
|
Been down, been down, now, now I'm back |
|
Been down, been down, now, now I'm back |
|
Been down, been down, now, now I'm back |
|
Never felt more alive |
|
Trust me all, the *************t does not tickle |
|
Tubes buried in my belly steady eatin' popsicles |
|
IVs and catheter felt like I was massacred |
|
Thanking God I'm not the one they had to buy the casket for |
|
But even now while I'm dropping this rhyme |
|
I'm recognizing if it's not your time, it's not your time! |
|
I went from an unimaginable death |
|
To smile at my homies while I took my first steps |
|
My head cleared when I stopped taking vicodin |
|
Now all I think about it is getting on this mic again |
|
And to each and everyone who said a prayer for me |
|
Shed a tear for me, maybe put one in the air for me |
|
All I Can say is thanks for giving me strength |
|
Because I truly believe you increased my life's length |
|
All I had to do is show some dedication |
|
Now all I gotta do is take a little medication |
|
You won't help me avoid disaster |
|
In the come back, better stronger and faster |
|
Now it's my mission to prove that I'm deserving |
|
Cause thanks to God ya'll and brilliant surgeons |
|
I'm alive! |
|
Been down, been down, now, now |
|
Been down, been down, now, now |
|
Been down, been down, now, now |
|
Never felt more alive, never felt more alive |
