Race Against 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 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 it's 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, and 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' outta 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 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 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' outta 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 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 fear's no man, but when it's 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 slug's 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 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 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 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

All I want All I need Always lies just out of reach I've been coming up empty (I realize) Run as fast as I can run Pushed as hard as anyone Still, There's nothing for me (Oh) (And I want) I've tried as hard as I can (And I need) I've taken all I can stand (And I fall) But I am running a race Against myself Against myself, Yeah (I realize) Burning out, Strung along Now my sorrow is my song My whole world is half-hearted (I realize) For my pain, I have none After all is said and done Now I'm back where I started (Oh) (And I want) I've gone as far as I can (And I need) I've taken all I can stand (And I fall) But I am running a race Against myself Against myself, Yeah Whooooaaaa Ooooooooooooh (And I want) I've tried as hard as I can (And I need) I've taken all I can stand (And I fall) But I am losing the race Against myself Against myself, Yeah Against myself
