Red Light

Red light, green light
Headlights, speed by
Made by, design
Child of the city

Ooh, they knockin' with me
Ooh, they rockin' with me
Know they fuckin' with me
Know they fuckin' with me

Red light, green light
Headlights, speed by
Made by, design
Child of the city

Ooh, they knockin' with me
Ooh, they rockin' with me
Know they fuckin' with me
Know they fuckin' with me

You know what?
I done fucked up a couple dollars too, ain't have much
All I had was the Hallelujah from Grandmama

I was ten years old
I was flippin' through the mags
I ain't never look back

Sneakin' off into the store
Couldn't've bought it so I grabbed
Runnin' out the pamper stash
Off the porch with just my ass

Kiss me, I'm teething, Mr. Bohemian
Missy done taught me the signature
When it get misty and through the storms
When I get tipsy and step on water

17, I thought I was God
19, I could do no wrong
23, when I met me
Lotta work I had to do from home

Lot of naps, nigga had to snap
Broke a couple cones and couple phones
Couple rules and a couple course
Guess they had to use a different tone

'Cause who the kids gon' listen to
When they, when they mama love to diss 'em too
When they, when they daddy did a bid or two
Middle finger never get the mood

I'm a product of residual
Now I'm workin' out the mystical

Red light, green light
Headlights, speed by
Made by, design
Child of the city

Ooh, they knockin' with me
Ooh, they rockin' with me
Know they fuckin' with me
Know they fuckin' with me

Predilection, no prediction
Manifested, bitch, you guessed it
No prescription, but the medicine is heavier than ever
Got brothers that ain't live to see 2011

Let alone how far we made it
But they knew where we was headed
But you know what? (you know what?)

Thinkin' back when a backwood roach came in clutch
All or nothin', all it ever was
Past life still keep in touch, way past the point of no return
Overlookin' what you overheard, I'm just feelin' out the temperature

Built the floor, sleepin' on the floor
What you know 'bout takin' everything you ever owned
Everywhere you ever go?
Every stop, cuttin' somethin' loose

Found my Auntie brother knocked out
Picked him out the pavement after school
Every casualty casual, never really matter who you matter to

Red light, green light
Headlights, speed by
Made by, design
Child of the city

Ooh, they knockin' with me
Ooh, they rockin' with me
Know they fuckin' with me
Know they fuckin' with me

Red light, green light
Headlights, speed by
Made by, design
Child of the city

Ooh, they knockin' with me
Ooh, they rockin' with me
Know they fuckin' with me
Know they fuckin' with me
