Elijah Johnson - Red Light

Just really listen
Look

Living at a red light
Never planned on stopping, only option keep my head right
Never planned on flopping now my pockets feeling dead tight
She tells me to live life
I tell her that I did twice
She feels like I quit life
I just came from buying people shirts that I done sold thrice
Expecting about a thousand but a hundred would be so nice
I just lost my own fight
I missed my own flight
I Wish that you would book it, playing hooky on my own mic
Seen my stepdad fuckin' did it for my whole life
I never paid attention he was out by 5:45
Coming home at 5 and started fighting off his poltergeist
I think I got demons too
Looking there at Jesus like "man that's unbelievable"
He tells me, "time has come."
I don't really think it's true
Then I look at Jezzy. See her skipping, in the distance, getting closer and she growing too
Gained a few inches, couple teeth and a sharper tooth
I think that I lost the booth
Gained a new spirit but I'm feeling like I'm missing screws
Lost my motivation now my heart is painted Nipsey blue
Algorithm killing me
I'm down to bout 100 views
Alarm is trying to wake me for this class, I just hit the snooze
I never planned to walk the stage
I aint want to graduate
Rap for 12 years safe to say my goals is rather late
I'm sitting at this red light
One nigga just ran it
Crack head laughing at the fact a nigga anxious
Girl is in the passenger tell me be patient
Jezzy in the back telling me I won't make it
Stopped by a concert hear a million people singing
The same old song when this light gon turn green?
Started listening to them and started turning down on me
Where's Jesus when I need him?
I got questions he got answers
Satan's in my face telling me to be a pastor
I reply with laughter
He laughs and then after
Send me opportunities to quit the fuckin' rapper
The money sound dapper
And happily ever after
But potential won't be reached and that just ends in a disaster
They tell me imma make it
I'm calling them a capper
And they aint never pledged but they lies be alabaster
But Jezzy always there
I aint got to track her
She always pop up when my life be moving backwards
And life is in reverse
Or I'm just in park
Sitting at this red light
Music in the car
When am I gon start?
Where am I gon finish
Gauge up on my tank say my road is never ending
Am I gon be relentless?
Or is a nigga finished?
Message from my momma say the facts a nigga did it
Reading on these scriptures and my God just said, "Nigga,
You know I always got you I'm just giving you a minute.
Go!"
