Eddie Murphy - Red Light lyrics

Oh yo!
Red light, stop right, there where you are
Red light, stop right, there where you are
Right there where you are

Out of the frying pan into the fire
Burning down the people's souls
My high anxiety is getting higher
Feels like I'm gonna blow yeah
Gone is the breeze that used to be so sweet
Poison is the wind that blows
It can't be long the military come
With a knock, knock, knock on your door, alright

Red light, stop right, there where you are
This is a red light, stop right, there where you are
Stop there where you are

Gone, emancipation
Gone, race relation
Gone, most of you rebels are gone
Gone, the trust in nation
Gone, the time we're wasting
Gone, the people's patience is gone
Oh Lord!

Broken economy
The streets are dying even more than before
I need some betterness to take me higher
Feels like I'm gonna blow
Gone are the days
When people used to say everything is alright
No place to run, now here you come a come
With a knock, knock, knock on your door

Red light, stop right, there where you are
This is a red light, stop right, there where you are
Stop there where you are
Red light, stop right, there where you are
This is a red light, stop right, there where you are
Stop there where you are

Pick up the pieces,
Let it begin,
Cause this is the way that we flow
Higher and higher and higher we go
Through dedication,
Self-preservation...

Gone, Marcus Garvey, Montgomery, Martin
Gone, all the rebels are gone
Gone, we've lost our way
Gone, darkness is the day
Gone, most of the rebels are gone
Red light, red light uuuu, red light uuuu

We can ride, we can roll, we can breathe
We can talk, we can walk, we can stop
At the red light
We can smoke, we can do what we want
To be real with the blunt, we just stop
At the red light
We'll stay true and be you
And be up way above
With no pushing or shoving
We can ride, we can roll, we can breathe
We can talk, we can walk, we'll just stop
At the red light
We can smoke, we can do what we want
And be real with the blunt, we just stop
At the red light
We'll stay true, and be you
And be up way above with no pushing or shoving
At the red light
