Red Light Green Light

[Verse 1] 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? [Hook x2] 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 [Scratching Interlude] [Verse 2] 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? [Hook x2] [Scratching Interlude] [Verse 3] 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? [Hook x2] [Scratching Outro]
