[Verse 1: Paris]
On the stretcher, under pressure
The sensation of the slugs in my body is still fresh in me
Mama is stressinā me
In the ambulance readinā me Genesis 1 or 7, I only remembered half of that
As I blacked out, passed out
Woke up in general with nurses pullinā my oxygen mask out
Iām ready to smash out, but I canāt walk, canāt talk
Morphine drip, draining my train of thought, distraught
Weed and Patron to make you get loose
Ran my mouth to the wrong n***as and they let loose
Let they Tec shoot, Smith and Wess' hit the set, hit with death
Hit my chest, clipped my breath, then they jet, damn
And just like menace, my n***as visit, revenge intended
To go to who gave it, and give it
Give āem the business, wanna see they brains hang
Never thought I meant it, that Iād be going through the same thing
[Chorus: T-K.A.S.H.]
All I wanna do is feel better
But the red, white, and blue they got it set up
So the doctors and the nurses aināt there for us
Unless they working with the county welfare for us
Just basketball, alcohol, and jail for us
And a funky-ass Mr. Access healthcare for us
In the hood we donāt pay no attention
Cause itās just another way for you to bury us, uh come on
[Verse 2: Paris]
Yeah, itās time to check out, get out, before I leave
Signed paperwork, paying the cash out
Prescribing me painkillers and fluids to clean my flesh out
They told me co-payin' with my provider is the best route
What the fuck is "Co-payin' with my provider" and shit?
Fuck you mean if I donāt pay, you aināt supplyinā me shit?
What the fuck is health coverage? I donāt go to work
āBitch, Iām in these streetsā Iām yellinā up at the clerk, itās nothinā
Six Gās I pulled outta my pocket
And from a ten-grand hospital bill, they docked it
No diploma, no employment, no insurance, no benefits
No medicine, no better than when they let me in
I turn to mama, but mama aināt got a job
Sheās smokinā her damn self, thatās why Iām up in the mob
My n***as be stackinā money, but n***as be actinā funny
When I call to see whatās up on the hundred for my recovery
[Chorus: T-K.A.S.H.]
All I wanna do is feel better
But the red, white, and blue they got it set up
So the doctors and the nurses aināt there for us
Unless they working with the county welfare for us
Just basketball, alcohol, and jail for us
And a funky-ass Mr. Access healthcare for us
In the hood we donāt pay no attention
Cause itās just another way for you to bury us, uh come on
[Interlude]
(Phone ringing)
(Yeah) Hello?
(Yeah) Yeah, Iām a boss in the game
(Huh) Tryinā to get my insurance on
(Get your insurance on?) Get my insurance on
(Phone hangs up)
Hello? Man, this motherfucker hung up the phone
[Verse 3: Paris]
And I aināt feelinā right
No prescription, no medication, so I aināt healinā right
When I walk, I limp and my shoulders is still stiff at night
Tried to get a job, they tellinā me ninety days
I be blazed to evade the pain, mental and physical
Takinā hella aspirin, shakinā hella bad
When I asked the people up in Walmart about it
Made me lift my shirt and show āem the damage, I canāt ignore it
They squirm like mama did, and tell me see a doctor for it
But I canāt afford it
It cost money and I got it, but I canāt report it
And I got to pay the ambulance, they mailed a notice
Another thug life side effect, I failed to notice
This health insurance is some cold shit
