Days Of Our Lives

Red light
Red light
Red light
If...
If..
If..
If...
[Dave]
Yo how the days of your life go, Com
[Common]
I'm just trying to be
[Posdnuos]
That's it
[Common]
Staying focused so my mind is free
[Dave]
Watch the problems of the world go by like balloons
If tomorrow come now
[Common]
It might be too soon
[Posdnuos]
Too soon
[Common]
I want the boom in the back of the truck
Ain't nothing the matter with a good dude having a buck
With that on my mind, I'm on the grind, it pays
[Dave]
We break it down in these three ways
[Common]
Yo, these days I travel the maze like Frank Beverly
To the east looking for pieces of a better me
Responsibility of my man's felony fell on me
Celebrity status make 'em think I got cel(l)ery
Hell, and I do sometimes steal the sunshine
Ain't even all day, the life of a baller
Ain't even all play, I stack 'em
So the chips fall where they must
I ain't far from a Benz, a dude on the bus
Even when I don't have enough, still in God I trust
Said baby you a star, said I'm on a cuss
Seem the jiggiest of stars become dust
And one love become lust for the papers
Had your gas now that gas became vapors
Tricked your cash on ice, should've had acres
Now your empire fell like the Lakers
So you talking to your maker
It's the nature of the business that giving niggas inches
Taking miles and mules, it's the wildest rules
I'm trying to walk in the blacks and the proudest shoes
Making musics that the crowds can use
[Posdnuos]
Yo how the days of your life go, Dave
[Dave]
With sunshine and shade
[Common]
That's it
[Dave]
Tinted windows, grades, and kool-aid
[Common]
Watch the problems of the world go by like balloons
If tomorrow come now
[Dave]
That might be too soon
[Posdnuos]
Too soon
[Dave]
I want 24 plus on these
Put the Pinto engine and the bus on these
I get that first class seat to a state for days
[Common]
We break it down in these three ways
[Dave]
Check the life, I got the antidote, cantiloupe scent, bent back
In the sun room froze, put your flick on pause
[Common]
And pop a cork
[Dave]
It's no ocassion, niggas, just because
I'm celebrating for a hell of a day
Get these barbe-filets on hot charcoal, tracks so black
Darko peep Coltrane play them back
We them freedom fight kids who gon' ball and raise fists
If y'all down for the struggle come on y'all resist
Everyday script I exercise cheap, 16 on a bar I exercise speak
It's been a long time Long Isle's on the map
While y'all stand on the corner stoned like Chris Al(len)
Kiss back (watch your time), wrist back
Every second count but just finish this lap
You gamble on your life like casino slots
And cash out and still walk with a knot
[Common]
Yo how the days of your life goes, Merce
[Posdnuos]
Man I'm just holding my head
[Dave]
That's it
[Posdnuos]
Shit, I'm also trying to hold this bread
[Dave]
Watch the problems of the world go by like balloons
If tomorrow come now
[Posdnuos]
It may too soon
[Dave]
Too soon
[Posdnuos]
I furnished the rooms and mortgage on these
See them puttin' ass rappers cause a shortage on these
The soul boys of big Illinois get the praise
[Dave]
We break it down in these three ways
[Posdnuos]
My moms died from second hand smoke
So I wish yo' ass would die from them second hand rhymes you wrote
Or should I call them second rhymes written seconds 'fore you entered the booth
Words thrown together with very little truth and a select few can do it (true)
You ain't part of them scriptures, and got the nerve to feel you want me out the picture
But I was never in it, I'm the frame around the flick
Or dishin' in the mouth of your dame around my dick
Ladies and gentlemen introducing Workmatic, one of L.I.'s finest
And this is (red light) which is filled with bad minutes and good hours
And good months months and bad years
And with my peers we struggle to juggle this shit
Family life and the music game don't easily fit
My lady wants me home saying rap tours, 3 rap whores
And scores of scandals, even more than we can handle
Sometimes with the rhymes I say, supply currency to save the day
Can't turn it away cause we out to find presence way beyond our measures
So baby don't pout
[Common]
Don't pout
De La Soul'll turn it out
Don't pout
Common Sense'll turn it out
Don't pout
