Emergency Procedure
Ghostface Killah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Doctor X enter the crib, worked on the kid
Created a mask that allowed me to breathe
But couldn't extract the chemicals from my body
Poisonous lethal doses, comatosis
In and out of conscious, drugs is ferocious
The mass release the gas that simmer the soul
So my adrenaline stays level not out of control
I been contaminated, physically altered
Got wrong for doing right, my attitude salted
I'm bitter, I clean up the community
Fuck these New York City cops
I don’t need the ‘mmunity

Fuck the hour one, prowl the doctor on speed dial
Slid to the aisle fixed up the golden child
Exquisite doctor, his work of art
Created a gas mask to save Tony Starks
Fuck the hour one, prowl the doctor on speed dial
Slid to the aisle fixed up the golden child
Exquisite doctor, his work of art
Created a gas mask to save Tony Starks

I specialize in telekinesis, recognize the thesis
The leading expert on war, and weaponized diseases
The brilliant Doctor X, no scientist is colder
The master specifically protects you from ebola
Its destruction is impossible, totally irrelevant
The compounds are not found on a periodic table of elements
Adamantium plus Vibranium the fords fills your bill
Will shield your cranium
If anyone would try to place the mask upon their face
The mask corrupts yah
It's designed to match your molecular structure
Plus the goal was to give it a touch of luster
The master eagle [?] adjust to your repulsive thrusters
Busta psychology, the wallaby that adapts to the environment
Thats the [?] technology
But I digress, I must confess
The mass is unequivocally my best invention yet, Doctor X

Fuck the hour one, prowl the doctor on speed dial
Slid to the aisle fixed up the golden child
Exquisite doctor, his work of art
Created a gas mask to save Tony Starks
Fuck the hour one, prowl the doctor on speed dial
Slid to the aisle fixed up the golden child




Exquisite doctor, his work of art
Created a gas mask to save Tony Starks

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ghostface Killah's song Emergency Procedure describe the singer's experience of being poisoned and the subsequent treatment given to him by Doctor X. The singer initially talks about how Doctor X entered his house to treat him, using a mask to help him breathe. This mask, however, was not able to extract the chemicals from his body, which left him comatose and in a state of altered consciousness. He speaks about feeling bitter and salty, possibly due to conflict with the police or authorities. The singer highlights his frustration with the system by stating that he doesn't need the community.


Next, the singer talks about Doctor X's expertise in creating gas masks and his ability to protect against the deadliest diseases. Doctor X's brilliance is emphasized here as the singer mentions his specialization in telekinesis and weaponized diseases, including ebola. Doctor X is portrayed as an innovator who creates masks that match the molecular structure of the person wearing them, with the goal of giving it a touch of luster. The singer describes these masks as having the ability to adjust to the wearer's repulsive thrusters, busta psychology and adopt to the environment.


The repeated chorus "Fuck the hour one, prowl the doctor on speed dial, slid to the aisle fixed up the golden child, exquisite doctor, his work of art, created a gas mask to save Tony Starks" highlights Doctor X's proficiency and importance in the singer's life. Tony Starks is actually Ghostface Killah's alter-ego and this line suggests that Doctor X's work was important in saving his life.


Overall, the song Emergency Procedure delves into themes of struggle, innovative advancements and conflict with authority, ultimately promoting the message of determination and survival.
