Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my race against time, I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Even if I'm gettin' too hot
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Race against time, I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Even if I'm gettin' too hot
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
[Verse 2]
God, why the hell am I here?
Is it a blessing or a painful lesson of life and its directions?
Date of conception, 2/29
I was birthed and won't be denied
Look into these eyes and witness life's tragedies
The boy who made slaves outta men, that's me
For every lock, there's a key
The only thing that ever made me click was cash money
[Verse 3]
So that I lust for
Be it one of my deadly sins
You know, the seven, and I got all of 'em deep within
Sometimes I slip, but you be there to pick me up
Now I'm on my knees like what's up?
'Cause only in a world that's corrupted and sick
Could you dare to look at my life and call it innocence
Got me to a better sense, 'cause what's yours is mine
Hear me, Lord, I'm runnin' outta time
[Verse 4]
In my race against time, I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Even if I'm gettin' too hot
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Race against time, I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Even if I'm gettin' too hot
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
[Verse 5]
Nobody cry for me
'Cause I wanna see you smile for me when I die
Look through my windows to the soul
Tell me if you see Ja livin' to grow old
'Cause too many **** done died for what I hold
The talent to warm a world which is so cold
Take me, save me before I'm crazy
The only reason I live is for my baby
[Verse 6]
Never did you tell me that, life ain't a game
Maybe if you told me this, shit might get changed
But now I'm just racin' against time, tryna survive
And see why y'all **** drive over ****'s vibe
If you gon' live, know you gon' die
If you gon' steal, know you gotta lie
Get drunk and stay high
No de-nicky-ny 'cause they'll never take me alive
Feel me, Lord, I'm runnin' outta time
[Verse 7]
In my race against time, I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Even if I'm gettin' too hot
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Race against time, I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Even if I'm gettin' too hot
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
[Verse 8]
I fears no man, but when it's time to go, I'm gone
Racin' through the darkness, learnin' what's right from wrong
Lookin' for the light, but all I see is the night
When everything else is bright, what happened to my life?
Is this what I am, is this what I've become?
A **** that don't give a fuck about nothing and no one
Cold, even though I got a burnin' desire
Within my soul, I'ma set this whole world on fire
[Verse 9]
If I control my destiny, maybe one day
I'll give this world the best of me
You know I've never been one to judge right or wrong
I embraced and showed you love
Then I throw slugs at the other side, go get 'em in broad daylight
What a **** would give to live my life
You don't want it, 'cause if you could get it you would try
Feel me, Lord, Ja has arrived
[Verse 10]
In my race against time, I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Even if I'm gettin' too hot
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Race against time, I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Even if I'm gettin' too hot
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
[Verse 11]
In my race against time, I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Even if I'm gettin' too hot
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Race against time, I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
Even if I'm gettin' too hot
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light, livin' my life
(My life)
