Ja Rule
Against time
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
God, why the Hell am I here?
Is it a blessin' or a painful lesson of life and it's directions?
Date of conception, two twenty-nine
I was birthed and won't be denied
Lookin' into these eyes and witness lives' tragedies
The boy who made slaves out of men, that's me
For every lock, there's a key
The only thing that ever made me click was 'Cash Money'
So that I lust for, be it one of my deadly sins
You know the seven, and I got all of them deep within
Sometimes I slip but you be there
Pick me up, now I'm on my knees like, what's up?
'Cause only in a world that's corruptin' 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, I'm runnin' outta time
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
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 n***as done died for what I hold
The talented warmer world which is so cold
Take me, save me, before I'm crazy
The only reason I live is for my baby
Never did you tell me that life ain't a game
Maybe if you told me this, shit might changed
But now, I'm just racin' against time tryin' to survive
And see why y'all n***as drive over n***a's vibe
If you gonna live, know you gonna die
If you gonna steal, know you gotta lie
Get drunk and stay high, don't de-n***a-ny
'Cause they'll never take me alive
Feel me Lord, I'm runnin' outta time
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
I fear's 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 n***a that don't give a fuck about nothin' and no one
Cold, even though I gotta burnin' desire within my soul
I must set this whole world on fire
If I control my destiny, maybe one day
I'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 slug's
At the other side, go get 'em in broad day light
What a n***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
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
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
