Apollo Brown ft. Joell Ortiz - That Place Lyrics

That Place

Verse 1

Pacing back and forth in that hospital hall
No phone signal, I can not get a call
Ain't speak to doctors at all
My homie voice in my head like you got a game today I'm watching you ball
Be there soon, lemme stop at the store

Had one of them off games where I couldn't get a shot to just fall
The coach benched me it's 40 suttin to like forgot what's the score
Open my flip to a barrage of missed calls
Some from anonymous but a lot that I know

I my hit partner back yo
He like It's Rah my nigga they shot em up Joe
I'm like what ? He like I'm parked outside the park man let's go
Left my gym bag hopped in, not him we just chopped it up
He said he was on his way to watch me shoot now they shot him up

I'm in the ER like where my boy, they shot him up
Bloody gurney races by, he looks at me, they shot him up to
ICU, I lost my homie on that 3rf floor
I cant believe that I'm the last person he saw...




That Place

Verse 2

Pacing back and forth in that hospital hall
No phone signal I could not get a call
Ain't hear them doctors at all
His momma voice in my head like this ain't a game don't let that condom come off
But I wanna feel it, so ima go raw

This one time, but one time, mean every time and one time that fun time ain't quite pull out in time now it's son time
I walk into the room throw on some scrubs my baby moms pushing
Screaming for that depo shot, squeezing on my arm looking

Down at her private crying in hopes to hear crying
I am in shock as the top of his head came poking out why is
Split in half that's when I notice he was feet first, breech birth
Umbilical round his neck, made him breath worse

They tryna reposition him before she deliver I'm praying please work
My 1st born can not meet Earth before he meet Earth
The cord unravels the battles won tears pour
My son opens his eyes in the first person he saw





That Place Hook

Swear to God I hate the hospital...
I can't even stand the smell of the place
It's the scent of sickness and death ..
tears dwell on ya face
They whisper news.. But it hit u like they yelled in ya face .. man...

I Swear to God I hate the Hospital
I mean no disrespect to what the nurses or the doctors do
Sometimes y'all make a miracle appear from the impossible
But when my people there getting outta there's an obstacle
