Race Against Time - Ja Rule

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

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

God, why the hell am I here?

Is it a blessin', or a painful lesson of life and its directions?

Date of conception, two twenty-nine

I was birthed and won’t be denied

Look 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, that I got all of them deep within

Sometimes I slip, but you be there to pick me up

Down 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 what’s yours is mines

Hear me, Lord, I’m runnin' out of 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

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

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 niggas 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 be changed

But now, I’m just racin' against time tryin' to survive

And see why, y’all niggas drive 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

Cause they’ll never take me alive

Feel me, Lord, I’m runnin' out of 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

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

I fears no man, but when its 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 nigga 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 slugs at the other side

Go get 'em in broad daylight

What a nigga 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

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

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

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
