Hit me! Somebody call an ambulance! There's not a minute to spare Don't worry There's not a minute to spare Don't worry Going, going, gone! Now I dialed 911 a long time ago Don't you see how late they're reacting? They only come and they come when they wanna So get the morgue truck and embalm the goner They don't care 'cause they stay paid anyway They treat you like an ace that can't beat a trey A no-use number with no-use people If your life is on the line then you're dead today Latecomers with the late coming stretcher That's a body bag in disguise y'all, I'll betcha I call 'em body snatchers cause they come to fetch ya With an autopsy ambulance just to dissect ya They are the kings cause they swing amputation Lose you arms or legs to their miscalculation I can prove it to you, watch the rotation It all adds up to a fucked up situation So get up, get, get, get down 911 is a joke in yo town Get up, get, get, get down Late 911 wears the late crown So get up get, get get down 911 is a joke in yo town Get up, get, get, get down Late 911 wears the late crown 911 is a joke 911 is a joke Everyday they don't never come correct You can ask my man right here with the broken neck He's a witness to the job never being done He would've been in full effect But late 911 was a joke cause they only joking They the token to your life when it's croaking They need to be in a pawn shop on a 911 is a joke we don't want 'em I call a cab cause a cab will come quicker The doctors huddle up and call a flea flicker Reason why I say that cause they flick you off like fleas They be laughing at you while you're crawling on your knees And to the strength so go the length Thinkin' you are first when you really are tenth You better wake up and smell the real flavor Cause 911 is a fake life saver So get up get, get get down 911 is a joke in yo town Get up, get, get, get down Late 911 wears the late crown So get up get, get get down 911 is a joke in yo town Get up, get, get, get down Late 911 wears the late crown Ahh Flavor Flav says Ahh So get up get, get get down 911 is a joke in yo town Get up, get, get, get down Late 911 wears the late crown So get up get, get get down 911 is a joke in yo town Get up, get, get, get down Late 911 wears the late crown

O título da música pode levar a entender que critica o tempo de resposta policial em bairros urbanos negros.
Na realidade, a letra foca no tempo de chegada dos paramédicos.
Essa confusão revela como interpretações culturais podem desviar o foco da mensagem original.
A faixa demonstra a atenção dos fãs à precisão de detalhes nas letras dos Public Enemy.
