Race Against Time   





 [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...
