Green Lights
NF Lyrics

Yeah
Acknowledgement and acceptance of the current situation

My name buzzin', ain't no way you could ignore it
My name is popular, it cannot be overlooked

I did not come this far so they could ignore me
I have worked hard to get where I am, I cannot be ignored

I am not the one to say, "I'll do it in the mornin'"
I am not one to procrastinate

I'd rather get it done, don't focus on what's not important
I prefer to complete tasks and prioritize important things

They try to talk to me like they been nothin' but supportive
People talk to me as if they have been supportive when they have not

Appreciate the love, but do not show up on my doorstep
I am grateful for support, but do not visit me uninvited

If you ain't about that real, I suggest that you avoid me
If you are not genuine, it is better if we do not cross paths

If we ain't on the same page, that's the end of story, agh!
If we do not understand each other, it's best we part ways

Hey, you are not a baller 'cause your closet's full of Jordan's
Material possessions do not define your status

You are not a rich man 'cause you're on the Forbes list
Being on the Forbes list does not necessarily mean you are wealthy

First, I dropped a record, then you know I gotta tour it
I release music, then tour to promote it

Real's still the slogan, only difference is there's more of us
My slogan is still the same, the difference is there are more people supporting me

The story of my life feels like it's just beginnin' now
I feel like my life is just starting to unfold

I ask you a question, I want answers, not the run-around
I expect direct answers when I ask a question

You the one that brought it up, but I'm the one to shut it down
You started the topic but I am the one who ends it

If you ain't got the album yet, I brought you one, I'm at your house
I will personally give you my album if you do not already have it

All I see is green lights (woo!)
Everything is going well for me

All I spit is real life
I only rap about my true experiences and emotions

Bet you don't know what that's like (huh?)
You cannot relate to my life experiences

I know where I'm goin', I don't let no one distract me
I have my goals set and will not let anyone deter me from achieving them

I don't need directions from nobody in the back seat
I am capable of making my own decisions, I do not require guidance

I don't need these people in my corner tryna gas me
I do not want people just saying positive things to make me feel good, I want constructive criticism

I'd rather have people in my corner tryna check me
I prefer having people who challenge me and push me to do better

Yeah, I walk off the bus a different city than the last week
I travel a lot for my music and each city is a new experience

Let the fans speak, they gon' tell you 'bout the past me
My fans will tell you about my past struggles and how far I have come

If I'm bein' honest, last year I was in a bad place
Truthfully, I was not in a good state last year

Wouldn't say I'm out of it, but don't feel like I can't be, agh!
I am not completely out of that dark place, but I know I can overcome it

Who you know droppin' clean records, but they nasty?
Who else releases music that is both positive and relatable?

I was made for this, I could tell when Mama had me
I was born to create music, it is my destiny

I hopped right off the table, told my doctor, "I ain't average"
I was confident from a young age that I was destined for great things

He asked me, "What does that mean?" I told him, "Get the pen and pad, please"
I told my doctor to get ready to write down my lyrics

Who'd a known I'd write something that could change lives?
I did not expect to have such a positive impact on people through my music

I don't think y'all fully understand the way you changed mine
I am grateful for my fans and the positive influence they have on me

I look at the future that's in front of me with both eyes
I am focused on my future and determined to succeed

Three records, three years, I don't like to waste time
I have accomplished a lot in a short amount of time and am motivated to continue producing great music

All I see is green lights (woo!)
Everything is going well for me

All I speak is real life
I only rap about my true experiences and emotions

Bet you don't know what that's like (you don't know!)
You cannot relate to my life experiences

Hey!
An interjection to emphasize my point

All I see is—green lights!
Everything is going well for me

Oh my!
An expression of excitement or disbelief

Yeah!
An affirmation of my current situation
