Espa - Red Light, Green Light lyrics

[Prod. by Erick the Architect] [Intro: Espa] I lift my hands up high for another night Cause I've lost my wings and I wanna fly I even wash my face in the river Nile I'mma pray all day 'til I get it right [Hook 1 (x2): Erick Arc Elliot] Before I leave the crib I know I say my prayers Pray to God I'm happy every single day I swear More money, I'm more prepared, more n***as that's unaware Most n***as don't even listen, they only see what they hear [Verse 1: Erick Arc Elliot] My mind ain't certain That I put enough work in These beats, these streets, no purpose Repeat, rebuild, resurface No longer in disturbance Get a shooter if you're nervous Stressed out, made a n***a feel worthless Can't nobody f** up on purpose I remember when I had no government My name was so crazy, had lines like c**aine And those the good days, I got them good grades Had profit to get paid, I made some mistakes That's something we all gon' say Had to ignore a b**h call today But a little bit of head made it all okay If you n***as want a war, then my boys gon' play [Hook 2 (x2): Meechy Darko] Before I leave the crib you better say your prayers n***as trigger happy every single day, I swear More murder, I'm more aware, more bullets, I'm more prepared Most n***as don't even listen that's until they hear the bang [Verse 2: Meechy Darko] My mind's uncertain, do I put enough work in? Redrum, redrum, bloody murder Headshot, close range, close curtains No encore, that's for certain Clack clack, bravo, I murked 'em Hoes, clothes, more d**, more murder More guns, more d**, more murder, more murder In the ghetto where the rats eat roaches Gats tucked in our drawers, we don't need holsters You gon' learn today, you gon' get involved With scamming, drug dealing, prostitution and all In the ghetto praise to God alike a long distance call I done rang Jesus for years, f** it, no response What, I'm supposed to sit and starve? Ha! Gat in my palm and taking yours be my job I don't want to shoot and steal I don't want to k** and rob I just want to provide For my mama, my papa, my kids and I I just want to provide For my b**h, and my homies that's from my side But I came straight from homicide [Hook 1: Erick Arc Alliot] [Hook 2: Meechy Darko]
