Running Lights Video (MV)

I was 17, sippin' 40's in the park
Rendall on the beatbox and me pouring out my heart
Deep discussions, saying he believed in nothing
Thinking about those days, those convos about being something
But I would ride with Paulo running lights, on those summer nights
5 deep in a Honda Civic, thinking what we want in life
Divided we fall, now, we don't even call
Having premonitions, reminisce on pictures on the wall, but
This here's to better days so we celebrate
They said never, but I told myself never say never
Like the wheels, you know life cyclically revolves
History evolves, mysteries are solved
My eyes low, twisted off the gin and sprite and hydro
Nephew's on the same that's why we always tell him drive slow
Pedal to the metal, baby you know how that ride goes
200 on the dash, the fear of failure's like the 5-0
I'm running lights
Trying to cruise in this DeLorean
Pedal to the floor, like my engine's an accordion
No stops for me, I'm just trying to do what's right
I'm running lights
Passing all the stops up in my life
I'm running lights
I'm just trying to do what's right, I'm running lights
Trying to live good, so I can see my mom in heaven
I pray one day I feel my forehead touch the ground of Mecca
But it's crazy, most people don't believe in God
It's like they don't see the flowers grow, it's like they don't see the stars
They need to see or read it or they don't believe at all
But I understand, it's hard, to wait for the Lord to heed your call
It's the same old song, the motions perpetual
The Game goes on, in my peripheral
They kept sleeping on me, now they feeding off me
Before they fronted on me, now these ladies need and want me
I keep completing songs, keep on keepin' on
While dislexic characters tend to read me wrong
Play my part, since this life's a motion picture
I'm just being me, posing open ended questions
The wind is at my back, and I never go against it
'Cause opportunity is knocking, like a Jehovah's witness, and I'm rolling with it
I'm running lights
Trying to cruise in this DeLorean
Pedal to the floor, like my engine's an accordion
No stops for me, I'm just trying to do what's right
I'm running lights
Passing all the stops up in my life
I'm running lights
I'm just trying to do what's right, I'm running lights
