Ja Rule

Lyrics

[Chorus: Tank]
In my race against time I - can't stop
Runnin through the red light - livin my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin through the red light

In my race against time I - can't stop
Runnin through the red light - livin my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin through the red light

[Verse 1: Tank]
More like consequences, repercussions
Deep discussions about my loved ones
Didn't know paper had a price on it
That your ice would have your life on it
The cost to ball ain't changed, but I'm trying to
Red lights flashing, but I keep on through
Mom said paper ain't everything
Baby girl wants a wedding ring, I wish that I could sing

[Bridge: Tank]
Oooohhhh, I'm moving too fast (movin too fast)
Oooohhhh, I'm not gonna last (I know I know I know)
Oooohhhh, smile down on me (God be smilin down on me)
Ain't got much time, made up my mind
I'm gonna keep on through, whatever comes is mine
[Chorus: Tank]
In my race against time I - can't stop
Runnin through the red light - livin my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin through the red light

In my race against time I - can't stop
Runnin through the red light - livin my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin through the red light

[Verse 2: Tank]
Oh please nobody cry for me
Cuz I, wanna see you smile for me
When I die, look through my window, to the soul
Tell me if you see Tank living to grow old
Cuz too many niggas done died for what I hold
The talent to warm a world which is so cold
Take me, save me, before I'm crazy
The only reason I live is for my baby

[Verse 3: Ja Rule]
Never did you tell me that
Life ain't a game
Maybe if you told me this
Shit might could change
But now I'm just racing against time, trying to survive
And see why, ya'll niggas thrive over nigga'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-nigga-ny, cuz they'll never take me alive
Feel me Lord, I'm running out of time
[Chorus: Tank]
In my race against time I - can't stop
Runnin through the red light - livin my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin through the red light

In my race against time I - can't stop
Runnin through the red light - livin my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin through the red light

[Bridge: Tank]
Oooohhhh, I'm moving too fast (movin too fast)
Oooohhhh, I'm not gonna last (at this rate I'm not gonna survive)
Oooohhhh, smile down on me (smile down on me)
Ain't got much time, made up my mind
I'm gonna keep on through, whatever comes is mine (gonna keep runnin)

[Chorus: Tank]
In my race against time I - can't stop
Runnin through the red light - livin my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin through the red light

In my race against time I - can't stop
Runnin through the red light - livin my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin through the red light
In my race against time I - can't stop
Runnin through the red light - livin my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin through the red light

In my race against time I - can't stop
Runnin through the red light - livin my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin through the red lightEmbed
