Highself
Red Lights
[Hook]
Gotta watch my back all the damn time
Wanna cut my cheque, out your damn mind
Funny how y'all act like I'm never right
Just because I ignore all the red lights

[Verse 1]
Just to get that green, gotta get green though
Never take an L, so I keep it emo
While they puppets, like Elmo, never on fire
Unlike my cellphone, so I pray I'm never wired
Cause we plotting and scheming- we keep it on the low
Demons by my side, so I know I'm not alone
East side, 65, yeah you know the home
Finna make it out alive with no broken bones
But I crack one, make a wish, take a risk
Fly out the ditch that they tried to leave me in, I was in a pinch
But thank god, momma never raised a bitch, no
Take so many shots I might need to reload

[Refrain]
You say that, I'm jaded
That I act hard, I can't take it
But face it- you can't chase this
Speeding while they barely in their laces

[Hook]
Gotta watch my back all the damn time
Wanna cut my cheque, out your damn mind
Funny how y'all act like I'm never right
Just because I ignore all the red lights

[Verse 2]
Man, red eyes- no sharingan, cause I've been up for too long
I see through your web of lies, and the bullshit that you spun
So I'm gone, up with the wind, NEDA be getting it mint, I be with her in a whip, she thinking I'm the one, but I be too deep in this shit
Like, things change, people too, SBS turn to a coupe
Homies we ride at the back of the bus, turning it up like we already knew
That one day I'll be at the top with my day ones
Way up couldn't give a fuck if they say some
Yeah, tell me one time
You believe in me, and that we'll be all fine
Talking numbers, your girl finna call mine
Not Rudy Tabootie, I never draw the line

[Refrain]
You say that, I'm jaded
That I act hard, I can't take it
But face it- you can't chase this
Speeding while they barely in their laces
[Hook]
Gotta watch my back all the damn time
Wanna cut my cheque, out your damn mind
Funny how y'all act like I'm never right
Just because I ignore all the red lights
