Chorus: repeat 2x
In my race against time i - canand't stop
runnin through the red light - livin my life
even if iand'm gettin too hot
iand'ma keep runnin through the red light - livin my life
Ja rule:
God, why the hell am i here?
is it a blessinand', or a painful lesson
of life and its directions?
date of conception two twenty nine
i was birthed and wonand't be denied
lookin into these eyes
and witness livesand' tragedies
the boy who made slaves out of men, thatand's me
for every lock thereand's a key
the only thing that ever made me click was andquot;cash moneyandquot;
so that i lust for
be it one of my deadly sins
you know the seven
i got all of them deep within
sometimes i slip, but you be there
pick me up, now iand'm on my knees like whatand's up
and'cause only in a world thatand's corruptinand' the sick
could you dare to look at my life and call it innocence
got me to a better sense
cause whats yours is mine
hear me lord, iand'm runninand' out of time
Chorus: 2x
In my race against time i canand't stop
runninand' through the red light
livinand' my life
even if iand'm gettin too high
iand'ma keep runninand' through the red light
livinand' my life
Ja rule:
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 livinand' to grow old
cause too many niggas done died for what i hold
the talented warmer world
which is so cold
take me
save me
before iand'm crazy
the only reason i live
is for my baby
never did you tell me that
life ainand't a game
maybe if you told me this
shit might be changed
but now iand'm just racinand' against time
tryinand' to survive
and see why
yand'all niggas drive over niggaand's vibe
if you gonna live, know you gonna die
if you gonna steal, know you gotta lie
get drunk and stay high
donand't de-nigga-ny
cause theyand'll never take me alive
feel me lord
iand'm runninand' out of time
Chorus: 2x
In my race against time i canand't stop
runninand' through the red light
livinand' my life
even if iand'm gettin too high
iand'ma keep runninand' through the red light
livinand' my life
Ja rule:
I fears no man
but when its time to go
iand'm gone
racinand' through the darkness
learninand' whatand's right from wrong
lookinand' 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 iand've become?
a nigga that donand't give a fuck about nothin and no one
cold, even though i gotta burninand' desire within my soul
i must set this whole world on fire
if i control my destiny
maybe one day iand'll give this world the best of me
you know i never been one to judge right or wrong
i embraced and showed you love
then i throw slugs
at the other side
go get and'em in broad day light
what a nigga would give to live my life
you donand't want it
cause if you could get it you would try
feel me lord
ja has arrived
Chorus: 4x
In my race against time i canand't stop
runninand' through the red light
livinand' my life
even if iand'm gettin too high
iand'ma keep runninand' through the red light
livinand' my life
Ja rule:
My life...
