[Substantial, Extended F@mm - Sign Language lyrics]
First we got Kevin, thirsty
Hot and sweating in the kitchen with no shirt
Computer shutdown before he got
To save his homework now he's really heated
Blood boiling heart racing
Looks around "Where's Traci?" I told her
Not to use the A c
She must've caused a power outage
Screams out the window for his sister
In the nick of time
A speeding car barely missed her
Black Lex screeching halt in the intersection
Crashed in the ambulance that was
Coming from the wrong direction
Driver jumps out of his car
Left the engine running
Jetted up the block, screaming something:
"Don't Worry, Mom! I'm Coming!"
Crowd starts to gather
Cops make it to the scene
And the traffic lights still
Ain't flash yellow, red or green
Paramedics in the ambulance trying
To save a patient
And it really doesn't look as if
The driver's even gonna make it
He's hemorrhaging from the neck
And nothing they can do to stop it
Then a shot fires from the crowd
"Get your hand outta my pocket!" hOOK
Mind open, eyes wide
Try and focus follow the signs
Mind open, eyes wide
Try and focus follow the signs
Cause you never know if today is the day
Better be sure that you mean what you say
And keep your mind open eyes wide
Gotta focus follow the signs (Come On)
"I don't wanna die like this"
He keeps thinking repeatedly, blinking
As his eyes are stinging from the bleeding
People screaming on the scene
He breathes the steam in
He believes he's dreaming, even he
Sees Freeman, his team leader
He covered for this evening
He pulled the favor
But never asked for a reason
Gasping and wheezing, too late to scream at
Dispatch with his grievance
He's trapped with the wheel in abdomen
Feeling is passingit leaves him
Deceased in flash, and the screams come
Accidents happen, man
The summer's a hazardous season
The camera pans to man with a clean gun
And it gleams sun, when he moves to reach up
To squeeze slugs right into the chest
Of a typical street thug
He screams police, and people freeze up
Now introducing Dee
He ducks and the cop thinks
That he sees something and he bucks
And now the brother needs to be cleaned up
And now we cut to a girl with D-cups
Holding a pair of green chucks, and
A tee covered in Dee's blood
Who really seems crushed
Now, she weeps but seems touched
In an weird way
Like crying on the outside but
Inside she's thanking Jesus
She leaves us, as she's being hugged
By a man resembling the
Cat the paramedic thought
He might have ID'd or dreamed of
As the camera swings up, we see Kevin
And he's rushed to make it to class
He thinks "And of all days to be stuck"
He busted his ass
For three weeks on his thesis
To impress Professor Greenlove
Who doubts that he'll pass
Teetering on a D+ plus
He got be up at the School
Of Electrical Engineering at 3 cause
If he don't, well, then he's fucked
With loans and no degrees to speak of
We pan back to the rear of the ambulance
The second medic administers treatment
On a old woman
Who's spleen's ruptured from deep cuts
She's really in need of
A heart surgeon, Well
Yeah this part's disturbing
Cause the medic dips and leaves
The lady with debris stuck
In her veins, Gee shucks, that's deranged
Kevorkian steeze and according to me
There's more to this here than it reads cause
Seemed like one of those days
When nothing was clear
Plus the temp's 10 degrees above
A hundred out here
(Flashback) phone rings Traci rushes
To pick it up worried look on her face
Arm hairs sticking up
"Don't tell me on the phone"
"OK well meet me downstairs
In 5 i called out and
I'm already 'round here"
Surprised Traci was
She felt a chill in the air
Got her mental prepared for the
Shit she would hear
And then darkness i ain't
Talking 'bout Charlie Murphy
But every single light in
The community wasn't working
Elsewhere Professor Greenlove can't
Contact his mama
Cause little did he know she had
Her own batch of drama
Felt ill called 911 before she was a goner
Cut herself while collapsing she ain't
Made out of armor see
Dee left the pharmacy he has no honor
Now mama Greenlove can't get the
Meds prescribed by her doctor
(Meanwhile) Professor's driving and he's
Not seeing proper
It was too dark to find his
Glasses in his freaking locker
Yall know that that's a hazard right
Blazing thru the traffic light
That wasn't on at a glance
He crashed into an ambulance
Same one his mama's in when
Does the drama end
Fore' that Freeman told Traci she's
Carrying apart of him
Dee's watching them hug and read a
Sheet while his head twirl
He dipped out of the pharmacy
To win back his ex-girl
Eternally stressed heard them mention
A paternity test
Then he rushed Free a cop came to come see
What the ruckus was about Dee
Reached for Free's pocket
While reaching in his own for what
Might have been a wallet
Then they heard a gun buss
Aloud now Dee's no mo
He used to beat on Traci kevin
Told her he was loco
So she broke up with the mofo
And gave her freedom to Freeman
Cause Dee was a prisoner of
His own inner demons
(Nearby) Professor flees his Lex
To find his mom but can't find her
For the medic served as a reminder
How her mama tortured her like
This woman treated her son
Felt obligated to rid the
World of this person
All the while Kevin's crying
Over spilled milk 3 bodies on his block he's
Lucky he didn't get killed
Couldn't get through to the school so
He stayed his ass home
When he finally did he heard
The date had been postponed
So he took it as a
Sign wisely utilized his time
Passed with flying colors now
The brother's doing fine
Days later he stopped by the
Power plant to find
There's an opening Greenlove was
Forced to resign
Facing criminal charges while Kevin's
Working for me
And the fella's doing well and
I trained him personally
Oh and by the way I'm way put the power on
Pay attention to the signs and
See what's going on
Hot and sweating in the kitchen with no shirt
Computer shutdown before he got
To save his homework now he's really heated
Blood boiling heart racing
Looks around "Where's Traci?" I told her

Screams out the window for his sister
