[Chorus: repeat 2X]

In my race against time I - can't stop

Runnin through the red light - livin my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin through the red light - livin my life


[Ja Rule:]


God, why the hell am I here?
Is it a blessin', or a painful lesson
Of life and its directions?

Date of conception two twenty nine
I was birthed and won't be denied
Lookin into these eyes

And witness lives' tragedies
The boy who made slaves out of men, that's me
For every lock there's a key

The only thing that ever made me click was "Cash Money"
So that I lust for
Be it one of my deadly sins

You know the seven
I got all of them deep within
Sometimes I slip, but you be there

Pick me up, now I'm on my knees like what's up
'Cause only in a world that's corruptin' the sick
Could you dare to look at my life and call it innocence

Got me to a better sense
Cause whats yours is mine
Hear me lord, I'm runnin' out of time


[Chorus: 2x]


In my race against time I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light
Livin' my life

Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light
Livin' my life


[Ja Rule:]


Nobody cry for me
Cause I, wanna see you smile for me
When I die look through my windows, to the soul

Tell me if you see Ja livin' to grow old
Cause too many ^!$$%s done died for what I hold
The talented warmer world

Which is so cold
Take me
Save me

Before I'm crazy
The only reason I live
Is for my baby

Never did you tell me that
Life ain't a game
Maybe if you told me this

%#@! might be changed
But now I'm just racin' against time
Tryin' to survive

And see why
Y'all ^!$$%s drive over ^!$$%'s vibe
If you gonna live, know you gonna die

If you gonna steal, know you gotta lie
Get drunk and stay high
Don't de-^!$$%-ny

Cause they'll never take me alive
Feel me lord
I'm runnin' out of time


[Chorus: 2x]


In my race against time I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light
Livin' my life

Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light
Livin' my life

[Ja Rule:]


I fears no man
But when its time to go
I'm gone
Racin' through the darkness

Learnin' what's right from wrong
Lookin' for the light
But all I see is the night
When everything else is bright
What happened to my life?

Is this what I am?
Is this what I've become?
A ^!$$% that don't give a $#&@ about nothin and no one
Cold, even though I gotta burnin' desire within my soul
I must set this whole world on fire

If I control my destiny
Maybe one day I'll give this world the best of me
You know I never been one to judge right or wrong
I embraced and showed you love
Then I throw slugs
At the other side

Go get 'em in broad day light
What a ^!$$% would give to live my life
You don't want it
Cause if you could get it you would try
Feel me lord
Ja has arrived


[Chorus: 4x]

In my race against time I can't stop
Runnin' through the red light
Livin' my life
Even if I'm gettin too high
I'ma keep runnin' through the red light

Livin' my life

[Ja Rule:]

My life...
