Sign Language - Substantial, Extended Famm

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 to his sister

In the knick of time, a speeding care barely missed her

Black Lex screeching to a halt in the intersection

Collided with the ambulance going down the street in the wrong direction

Driver jumps out of his car, left the engine running

High tails it up the block, screaming at the top of his lungs

«Don't Worry, Momma!

I’m Coming!»

Crowd starts to gather, cops make it to the scene

Paramedics in the ambulance trying to save a patient

But it doesn’t look like the driver’s even gonna make it He’s hemorrhaging from the neck, 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 passing… it 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

HOOK

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 HOOK
