Doctor
Flawless Real Talk Lyrics

Uh, show up for my 3 o'clock shift
The physician arrives for his scheduled work shift

And notice everybody on this, moving kinda' quick
The hospital staff seem to be in a hurry

That's cause, we got a patient and they sayin' he really sick
There is a patient who is seriously ill

Don't nobody wanna' treat him cause they don't know what it is
None of the physicians want to treat the patient because they are not aware of his condition

I take him
The physician decides to treat the patient

I know that I can save him
The physician is confident of saving the patient's life

I need to know his history to make an observation
The physician needs to know the patient's medical history to make a proper diagnosis

What's his name? "Hip-Hop"
The patient's name is a metaphor for the Hip-Hop music genre

Gotta' find out what he's taking
The physician needs to know what drugs the patient is consuming

"Well his dad is in the other room and I know that he's been waitin' to talk to you"
The patient's father is eager to speak with the physician

He said "I don't know! He just started to change
The patient's father doesn't know why his son's behavior has changed suddenly

He comes home every night high off of the Wayne and took a trip with his cousin down south on a plane
The patient uses drugs and has travelled to a different region

Came back with tight pants never acting the same
The patient has undergone a change in behavior and appearance

He sips lean, takes Molly, that's not how I raised him
The patient's father disapproves of his son's drug use

Doc, he's dying slow I need somebody to save him. Plus I heard you work is amazing, and I know that if he died that I could never replace him."
The patient's father implores the physician to save his son's life and acknowledges the importance of Hip-Hop culture in his life

So I told him I'd try
The physician agrees to treat the patient

His neck looked like it was strangled by 2 Chainz
The patient's neck appears swollen

Nah, it couldn't be, no way I couldn't see, the blood type was A, on the chart I saw a Lil' B
The physician confirms that the patient's blood type is A and discovers the presence of antibodies known as Lil' B

Damn. I need to react quick, injected two CCs of that Kendrick
The physician administers a medication reference to rapper Kendrick Lamar in order to prevent the worsening of the patient's condition

A double dose of J Cole and maybe that should fix, any Future bacteria that makes him sick
The physician prescribes a higher dosage of medication while referencing hip-hop artists J. Cole and Future to treat the patient's disease

His heads swollen
The patient's head appears swollen

Let's check his brain
The physician performs an examination of the patient's brain

We gotta ease the pressure and his vitals gotta' change
The pressure in the patient's brain needs to be relieved and his vital signs must improve

I thought it was a Gucci I ain't worried about a Mane until I saw he was infected with a Trinidad James
The physician mistakenly believes the patient's condition can be easily treated until he realizes that it is similar to that of Trinidad James, a rapper known for his eccentric fashion choices and erratic behavior

It's getting worse
The patient's condition is deteriorating

Now, for days I keep trying to cure
The physician has been trying to treat the patient for several days

A little Hov a little Nas cause they've done it before
The physician prescribes medication referencing hip-hop artists Jay-Z and Nas as they are known for having recovered from their respective ailments

I even tried a little Em I wish I had a Shakur, but that was '96 and they ain't making that anymore
The physician has experimented with medication reference to Eminem and wishes he could use a treatment known as Shakur, but realizes it is not manufactured anymore

I can't win.
The physician feels helpless in treating the patient's condition

Look pops, it's not even a question
The physician tells the patient's father that there is no doubt about the patient's condition

You know your son's infections will continue to be spreading
The physician explains to the patient's father that the disease will continue to spread in the patient's body

But I know about a medicine I shouldn't be suggesting
The physician suggests an experimental treatment which may not have been officially authorized

Cause it's off the Black Market and I know where we can get 'em
The experimental medication is illegally sold on the black market but the physician knows a source of procurement

"What's it called?"
The patient's father asks the name of the medicine

Flawless
The name of the experimental medication is Flawless

"How'd you know if it'd work?"
The patient's father inquires about the effectiveness of Flawless

Cause it's Flawless
The physician asserts that the experimental medication is named Flawless because it is believed to be highly effective

It's unknown, really even to my bosses
The experimental medication is not known to the physician's seniors and is not officially recognized

But if you want to talk about it then step into my office
The physician invites the patient's father into his office to discuss the experimental medication further

It's got about 10% Em and Big Ls delivery
Flawless is a mixture of delivery styles of rappers Eminem and Big L

20% Hov and 3 thousand lyrically
Flawless contains the lyricism of Jay-Z and Andre 3000

10% KRS battle skills for enemies
Flawless contains the battle rap skills of KRS-One

With just a little dose of Rakim for memories
Flawless contains the style of Rakim to stir nostalgic feelings

The Storytelling enzymes of a Slick Rick
Flawless encapsulates the storytelling ability of rapper Slick Rick

Should have him feeling like his old self in an instant
Flawless will make the patient feel better almost instantly

It's even got a little bit of Pac in that big flip
Flawless is inspired by the style of Tupac Shakur

Along with Illmatic that'll leave it defenseless
Flawless also references Nas' first album Illmatic

Most of all, it's all combined in a fresh mix
Flawless creates a unique mix of different styles

With its own venom that's really the best fit
Flawless injects a unique, effective treatment into the patient's body to combat the disease

I tell you those infections in his ear are breakfast
Flawless will get rid of any infections in the patient's ear easily

But if he don't get it right now it's a death wish
If the patient does not receive Flawless immediately, he will die

"Where's it at?
The patient's father asks where he can get Flawless

It's all over the States, but we got to go where the first dose of it was made
Flawless is available throughout the USA, but the physician and the patient's father must travel to Rhode Island, where the first dose of the medication was created, to obtain it

Rhode Island
The location where the first dose of Flawless was made

It's a tiny little place but it's where we're going to find it if we want to get him saved
Rhode Island is a small place, but it is the only place where Flawless can be obtained to save the patient's life

Let's go
The physician and the patient's father set out to travel to Rhode Island
