Lyrics

Green Light/Red Light (Live my Life)


Verse:

I?m trying to make you understand ma
You could never run my life
Your only child got a dream and I?m a follow it right
Oh kick me out cause I?m ready to go
You never like my music it was all for show
But I hate to equate this
You don?t believe me like an atheist
And right about now it seems I got to take this
Cause I been looking ain?t no jobs for
But recognize America that I got my degree
So I?m not complaining without trying to do something
But the job situation equates to straight nothing
I?m struggling cause I?m a control freak No matter how much I speak nobody don?t here me
And everybody that I meet want me to do for them
But then they slap me in the face like trick and a pimp
My name ain?t Shemp
And youngin this ain?t the 3 stooges
So if you test me right now I just may lose it

Chorus:

I just want to live my life
With every turn that I take I catch a green light
But ya?ll just want to run my life
No matter what I do or say I can?t be right
I just want to do what?s right
So can you please till God turn off the red light
Cause I?m tired of being polite
Ya?ll trying to run me down man that just ain?t right

Verse2:
Don?t tell me what can?t do, can?t see, or can?t be
My whole life I?ve been an emcee
And even though been doubted by family
Cause they can?t understand my poetry
But really though that don?t mean a damn to me
Only work to please God and collect my seed
Yes indeed I?m living in this industry
Should I really care if they ever notice me
But that?s thoughts for the rhyme
In the back of my mind
If I?m doing what I love should it matter if I shine?
I don?t know save that for psyche session
Believe in yourself right now that is my message

(Chorus)

End
