Green Light
Roll Deep ft. Tania Foster Lyrics

Eski boy, Roll deep!

Who's gonna take me home, yeah she might

I follow the green cross code, then I cross the road. I follow the signs then I fall on my nose

No regular seats, I get the phone out. His and her match, we're goin' all out

Stop! Take a look, left and right. Is it clear for me to go? Let me know, is it me that you've been waitin' for

That time when I saw ya I thought, wow, so. Check out the skirt on that, now straight to the bar - tequila, lemon, salt
The singer saw their partner and was immediately impressed, but instead of idle conversation, they chose to make a bold move by buying their partner a tequila shot.

I give her the all clear, letting her know green light, letting her go. Dropped her from a mile away, thought to myself, why not give it a go?

Skirt's a bit high above the knee, but I know that twinkle in her eye's for me. I said just show me a signal - she flashed red, amber, green

Don't wanna see red now, flash your green lights tonight

All it takes is a week, one smile and a drink. I say a couple words, and she might be a link

The artist continues to ask for confirmation from their partner before proceeding, reiterating their desire to make sure they are both on the same page.

Stop, pop, don't drop. Pour me a little (put your hands up). Stop, pop, don't drop. Pour me a little (take it to the floor). Stop, pop, don't drop. Pour me a little (put your glass up)
