Red Light Green Light - J-Live

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?
