Got a lady on the line
Screamin' 'bout what she need, oh
I done got this call a thousand times
I'm leaving, rushing to see, ooh

I got the sirens on
(I'm running every light)
She says she's home alone
(I'm needed in her life)
Until I get there girl
Stay on the line

It's an emergency
I'm rushing there to handle mine
It's an emergency
'Cause we ain't got a lot of time

I gotta save her, if I'm any later
Somebody might get there before me
Emergency, that 911's for me
Emergency

When I got there, put her on the floor
She leakin' but she still breathin', ooh
Give her mouth to mouth a little more
Repeat it to show her I mean it, oh

I think I know what's wrong
(Lemme turn off all the lights)
She won't be here for long
(If I don't get this right)
Girl, I just can't lose you
So hold on, please

It's an emergency
I'm rushing there to handle mine
It's an emergency
'Cause we ain't got a lot of time

I gotta save her, if I'm any later
Somebody might get there before me
Emergency, that 911's for me
Emergency

It's a good thing that you called me when you did
'Cause you were slowly fading and wasn't gon' make it
I'm your doctor, see, these tools I'm working with?
For me to operate, I need you to be naked

I can feel your heartbeat, uh, uh, oh
Beatin' like it's so deep, uh, uh, oh
Give up on you never
I'll make it better

It's an emergency
I'm rushing there to handle mine
It's an emergency
'Cause we ain't got a lot of time

I gotta save her, come any later
Somebody might get there before me
Emergency, that 911's for me
Emergency

Tank

A tank is an armoured fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat, with heavy firepower, strong armour, tracks and a powerful engine providing good battlefield maneuverability. The first tanks were designed to overcome the deadlock of trench warfare in the 1910s; they are a mainstay of modern ground forces and a key part of combined arms combat. Modern tanks are versatile mobile land weapon system platforms, mounting a large-calibre cannon in a rotating gun turret, supplemented by mounted machine guns or other weapons. They combine this with heavy vehicle armour which provides protection for the crew, the vehicle's weapons, and its propulsion systems, and operational mobility, due to its use of tracks rather than wheels, which allows the tank to move over… more »
