[Chorus: repeat 2X]
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
[Ja Rule:]
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
Lookin 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
I got all of them deep within
Sometimes I slip, but you be there
Pick me up, now 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 whats yours is mine
Hear me lord, I`m runnin` out of time
[Chorus: 2x]
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
Livin` my life
[Ja Rule:]
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
[Chorus: 2x]
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
Livin` my life
[Ja Rule:]
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 day light
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
[Chorus: 4x]
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
Livin` my life
[Ja Rule:]
My life...
