  • Where's my coffee?
    Good morning Dr Carter (hey sweetie)
    Looks like it's going to be a long day
    (Ah, another one, huh? What we got?)
    Your first patient (yeah)
    Is suffering from a lack of concepts (uh-huh)
    Originality (ugh)
    His flow is weak (another one)
    And he has no style (ugh)
    What'cha got for um?

    Ok, let me put my gloves on and my scrubs on
    Doctor carter to the rescue
    Excuse me if I'm late
    But like a thief it takes time to be this great
    Ha, so just wait, your style is a disgrace
    Your rhymes are fifth place and I'm just grace
    One, uno, ace
    And I'm tryin' to make our heart beat like bass
    But your sweet like cake and I come to fix
    Whatever you shall break
    Where is your originality?
    You are so fake, so picture me like a gallery
    Capture what I say
    All I need is one mic
    All I need is one take
    Like, hey, brighter then the sun ray
    Got a pistols on the playground
    Watch the gun-play like
    No kidding, no kids in the way
    But the kids do watch
    Gotta watch what we say
    Gotta work everyday
    Gotta not be cliche
    Gotta stand out like Andre 3K
    Gotta kick it kick it like the sensei
    You gotta have faith, you gotta, gotta, wait, wait
    I think I, I think I lost 'em (dial one eighteen please)

    Good afternoon Dr Carter
    (Nurse)
    I don't know about this one
    His confidence is down
    Vocab and metaphors needs work
    And he lost respect for the game
    (Ah, let me see)
    Think you can save him?

    Ok
    Respect is in the heart
    So that's where I'm a start
    And a lot of heart patients don't make it
    Now, hey kid
    Plural, I graduated
    'Cause you could get through anything if magic made it
    And that was called recycling
    Or re-reciting
    Something 'cause you just like it
    So you say it just like it
    Some say its biting
    But I say its enlightening
    Besides, Dr Kanye West is one of the brightest
    And Dr Swizz can stitch your track up the tightest
    And Dr Jeezy can fix your back up the nicest
    Arthritis in my hand from writing
    But I'm a doctor, they don't understand my writing
    So I stop writing
    Now I'm like lighting
    And you ain't Vince Young so don't clash with the titans
    Fast and exciting
    My passion is frighting
    Now let me put some more vocab in your iv
    Here take this Vicodin
    Like it and love it
    And confidence has no budget
    So pay me no mind
    I don't walk like I talk it 'cause I'm running
    I don't do it 'cause I done it and
    I'm in the emergency unit
    God damn it, I've lost another one

    Good evening Dr Carter, it's been a long day
    But this one looks much better then the others
    His respect is back up
    Concepts sound good
    His style is showing strong signs of improvement
    All he needs now is some swagger
    Ok, let me take my gloves off then

    Swagger tighter then a yeast infection
    Fly go hard like geese erection
    Fashion patrol police detection
    I stay tight like Chinese connection
    I stay tight like pussy at night
    Baby don't get me wrong, I could do that pussy right
    But I'm too wrong to write
    Too fresh to fight
    Too paid to freestyle
    Too paid to freestyle
    I had to say it twice
    Swagger so nice
    And don't ask me shit unless it concern a price
    And I don't rap fast I rap slow
    'Cause I mean every letter in the words
    In the sentence of my quotes
    Swagger just flow sweeter then honey oats
    That swagger I got it I wear it like a coat
    Wait, as I put the light down his throat
    I can only see flow
    His blood starting to flow
    His lungs starting to grow
    This one starting to show
    Strong signs of life
    Where's the stitches? Here's the knife
    Smack his face, his eyes open, I reply, "what a night"
    Welcome back hip hop I saved your life

    He, he looks good
    His, his vitals are up
    He's looking good
    He's looking good
    I think we got one
    Dr Carter, I think we got one
    Yup, yup we got one
    We saved him
    He's good
    He's good
    We got one
    He's good
    He's good
    We got 'em, we saved him
    He's a go, he's good Writer/s: David Axelrod, Dwayne Carter, Kasseem Dean
