lyrics

Chillin at a red, a red light x2

VERSE 1
who shot jfk?
a pawn don't move upon it's own you know ok?
do you understand it where the planets hang in the balance?
can you hear the patterns as they happen?
do you know why I'm good at rapping?
cuz i roll tight, lay low in the backstreet lights
50/50s and kickflips, the feelings of flight
feeling like
you would win in a fight
everynight
of your young, fun life
as the sun down over the land dusk demands
that I stand still still dodge anvils with my hands
pain pills and advils
dope beats and mad skills
when that bike swerved our life swerved right to a stand still
right to a stand still
when that bike swerved our life swerved to a stand still
but here we stand still
even though sometimes it feel like we still

CHORUS
chilling at a red light a red light and sometimes I wonder if it's ever gon' change
chilling at a red light a red light your gone so long and it seems so strange
chilling at a red light
and they say all it takes is time for these things to pass
so shorty roll the weed while i hit the gas

BRIDGE
It's 3 am for god sake's Mary save my soul
I'm medicated for the road
I'm medicated for the road

(interlude: the story of No Apologies After 9pm)

verse 2
Unbuckle I'm fucked
fuck, I drunk too much
puff puff pass
as luck would have it
i'm stuck in the past
all alone in the back of this fucking cab
driving to my side of town
we used to split this, riding around
looking for some shit to go down
you called me brother
last time i dropped you off
SPC, best believe we won't knock it off
no matter how old we get carry it in our spirit
i still feel it when the lyrics going off at the tongue
when i'm getting off like an officer's son
or looking off in the distance
often the sunshine is blinding but I'm showing resistance
something like you would've insisted
i'm so mad i didn't notice til I missed it
that your presence here really was gifted

CHORUS
chilling at a red light a red light and sometimes I wonder if it's ever gon' change
chilling at a red light a red light your gone so long and it seems so strange
chilling at a red light
and they say all it takes is time for these things to pass
so shorty roll the weed while i hit the gas
