RED LIGHT
Future Lyrics

Yeah, nigga, this shit real out here
The reality outside is rough and dangerous.

Runnin' through the red light, lookin' through your rearview Nigga might just sneak up on the car and try to spray you Playin' for keeps out here in the A
In Atlanta, the streets are ruthless, running red lights and constantly checking your rearview mirror is a must. Someone might ambush you and attack at any given moment.

Aw, they ain't think I'm gettin' my bag, ay Rain it up and gave 'em a sad face Now anywhere around the globe, you rep the gang and you got rank, yeah Gotta converse with the manager when I walk inside the bank, yeah Who would ever think they was sleepin' on me? Goyard with a half a million on me R&D's, it's like I'm possessed All these diamonds on my chest
Despite people doubting him, Future has the rank in his gang anywhere in the world. He now has conversations with bank managers and he carries half a million dollars in his Goyard bag. He puts in work like research and development into his craft and now has an abundance of diamonds on him.

Sleepin' on the floor had made my heart colder They try to make it hard for me, I never falter Gotta say I'm good, I'm on the ESPY's I made millions by the day, check my chest piece Try to take care of my family the best I know how Bought myself a mansion, now I gotta buy everybody a house Takin' care of my bitches like the mother of my child God know all my brothers sin, I gotta blow this trial You don't get no guidance out the trenches to make it out God knows I'll never give up on you, never will Shit gettin' hectic with the niggas that ya kill for Money got me hesitant, what I got to live for? All this fame gettin' terrible All these rings and Berettas Flawless victory, change the weather Hurricane, natural disaster Pour the lean for the bastards Take the jet across the atlas God I pray I forget my dada 'Cause I didn't grow up to be average All the times he lied to me, ya gave up on my arteries I was such a worried child, just wanted you to be a part of me Fishscale projects made a man out me Sleepin' on the carpet made a man out me Full of medication, I wouldn't change it I was once broke but no complainin' I finally start to embrace that I'm famous It's hard for me to erase when I was nameless
Future acknowledges that his cold heart comes from sleeping on the floor, and those who doubt him make him stronger. He reassures that he's doing well by expressing his success and providing for his family. His fame and riches bring challenges, but he is victorious and pours out lean to his troubled past. He now travels the world freely on private jets. Despite his rocky relationship with his father, he refuses to be average and is grateful for his past struggles as they molded him into a man. Future also acknowledges that drugs aided him along the way and that he wouldn't change a thing, and that fame can be challenging to embrace when he remembers his nameless, poorer past.

Aw, oh Aw, oh Aw, oh Aw Aw, oh Aw, oh Aw, oh
These lines don't hold a specific meaning and serve as a chorus.

Runnin' through the red light, lookin' through your rearview Niggas might just sneak up on the car and try to spray you, yeah
Future loops back to the beginning where he advises that the streets are dangerous, and one must always look out for danger when driving.

Aw, they ain't think I'm gettin' my bag, ay Ran it up and gave 'em a sad face Who would ever think they'd ever sleep on me? Who would ever? Who would ever think they'd sneak diss me? Who would ever? Ah, these bitches are possessed By these VVS' glarin' off my chest
Future repeats the first verse, expressing triumph over those who doubted him. He also addresses those who may have disrespected him, and showcases his diamonds.
