Lyrics Red Light Green Light - J-Live

Red Light Green Light

Man shines, woman reflects
Child is passed from one Earth to the next
Time flies by, stands still now and then
Eventually, physically it comes to an end
But in between all of that, what remains true?
I’ma live forever now, how about you
Self-proclaimed cat’s meow, glass floor view
Have the cake, eat the cake, ice cream too
Think the glitter in your litter box won’t pyew?
Think the glitter in your litter box don’t pyew?
You can build your sandcastles if you want to
And think the daylight makes the shine brand-new
Fool’s gold, necks turn green with envy
Doctors, dealers, even emcees
Ponder on all life’s complexities
But can’t see the forest for the evergreen trees
So they collect leaves
But when collects leave, like tricks from our sleeves
And shit’s creek creeps on last day’s eve
The question remains still what remains true
I’ma live forever now, how about you?
Red light, green light, 1, 2, 3
Do you even know where you tryina go?
Seems like you’re speeding just to stop at the curb
Old school, new school need to learn though
Ayo red light, green light--stop the countdown
So I can keep my eyes closed, how does that sound?
Cause every time I open 'em another gets froze
The way the game’s played now it’s too cold to pose
So mine’s wide shut while y’all’s keep running
Cause who needs directions when you got the improv
Matter fact, runners keep your eyes closed too
You’re guaranteed to have more fun on the job
But if the bough breaks and the cradle does fall
Fuck it, it was just my time, and that’s all
But if I fall asleep and no nightmares call
Is that because I knew what I was talkin bout y’all?
Dead that gameplan, I rest by the root
And not of all evil but I do get the loot
And not killing my people but yes I will shoot
Whatever plan to try to make these ears and eyes mute
Cause while y’all keep secrets and control from the rear
I’ma keep my thoughts in the little man’s ear
So he can freeze the whole game and open eyes too
And we can live forever now, how about you?
One man shines one woman reflects
A child is passed from one Earth to the next
Time flies by, stands still now and then
Eventually, physically it comes to an end
But in between all of that, what’s it all for?
Do you lose points if you admit you’re not sure?
I never been a holy man, I know he ain’t pure
I simply stay righteous but I do keep score
Regardless of the deficit I play the whole hand
The only thing definite’ll be the gameplan
The score means nothing if you have no goals
See ever since I made mine I’ve been a changed man
Doctors, dealers, even emcees
Ponder on all life’s complexities
But can’t see the forest for the evergreen trees
So they collect leaves
But when collects leave, like tricks from our sleeves
And shit’s creek creeps on last day’s eve
The question remains still what remains true
I’ma live forever sun, how about you?
I’ma live forever man, how about you?
