Lyrics
Give it to mama
Give it, give it, give it to mama, oh
Give it, give it to mama (mama)
For some strange reason (uh)
You're done pleasin' me like it's okay
Like a perm that's been left too long, it starts to burn
The result is it just won't take (I can see)
Now it's all coming so clear to me now (I can see)
Misinterpreted all my naiveness
Was just thinking if I had no you, then I can't do
My stock just went up over 2,000,000
So if you want to, uh-huh-uh-uh
You got the green light, uh-huh-uh-uh
So if you want to, uh-huh-uh-uh
You got the green light, uh-huh-uh-uh
So if you want to, uh-huh-uh-uh
You got the green light, uh-huh-uh-uh
So if you want to, uh-huh-uh-uh
You got the green light, uh-huh-uh-uh (give it to mama)
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, red light, green light
Some see me, say I should be trophied
'Cause it gets no stronger
Ladies, y'all know (Yeah, girl, y'all know)
This pimp -ish gets no older
Is that a threat? (What's another threat?)
Yep! (That's another threat)
I'm immune, you can get no colder
You got the green light (go), you the king, right? (Roll)
You're holdin' up traffic, green means go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, I said you're holdin' up traffic, green means go
So if you want to, uh-huh-uh-uh
You got the green light, uh-huh-uh-uh (green light, baby)
So if you want to, uh-huh-uh-uh (go)
You got the green light, uh-huh-uh-uh (ooh)
So if you want to, uh-huh-uh-uh
You got the green light, uh-huh-uh-uh
So if you want to, uh-huh-uh-uh
You got the green light, uh-huh-uh-uh (give it to mama)
Ain't no problem, you can go
I will find somebody else
It's alright, I'll move along
You got the green light so you can go
Go, go, go, red light, green light
I gave all I could give
My love, my heart
Now we're facing the end
From what you did from the start, my love
You're holdin' up traffic, green means go
So if you want to, uh-huh-uh-uh
You got the green light, uh-huh-uh-uh
So if you want to, uh-huh-uh-uh
You got the green light, uh-huh-uh-uh
So if you want to, uh-huh-uh-uh
You got the green light, uh-huh-uh-uh
So if you want to, uh-huh-uh-uh
You got the green light, uh-huh-uh-uh (give it to mama)
Ain't no problem, you can go
I will find somebody else
So why not move along?
You got the green light so you can go
Go, go, go, red light, green light
