Lights
R. KILLER Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swish, Swish
Green Light, Green Light
Swish, Swish
Swish, Swish
Swish, Swish
Red Light, Red Light
Let me get that Green Light
Let me get that Green Light
Let me get that Green Light
(Swish, Swish Swish, Swish)
I said
Let me get that Green Light
Let me get that Green Light
Let me get that Green Light
(Swish, Swish Swish, Swish)
Will I bounce back
Or will I forever fall
I got this laser focus now
For later shopping in the mall
But this that dad's life (what?)
Cause there's a stroller in the hall
First of all I gotta ball
Look I gotta take the shot on y'all
You get that Green Light
That means you hit it excellent
Winning for your team
Must feel heaven sent (Thank You God)
Ever since my first accolade
The day I made my first A
I was met with so much praise
I had to get another A
It felt like a Green Light
Easy what it feel like
What do winning money feel like
I said
It felt like a Green Light
Easy what it feel like
What do winning money feel like
My lines are traced with dopamine
Which means they're very dope I mean
I got this very large closet
Almost forgot I need to clean
But it seems I do it wrong
When I try to make a song
I learned an empty house is not a home (Never home)
What was wrong, no interaction
'Long with all of these distractions
When you see an ad tell me your reaction
Mine is madness, that's a red light
Hol' on, the answer's in my sight
Now you don't get to move
Until we get that Green Light
Let me get that Green Light
Let me get that Green Light




Let me get that Green Light
(Swish, Swish Swish, Swish)
