Give Me The Green Light

[Chorus]
Give me the green light, baby
It's been red long enough
Give me the green light, baby
So I can show you my stuff

[Verse 1]
My brake’s been slipping
And the motor is running hot
I'd give you a super ride, mama
And you'd say, "thanks a lot"

[Chorus]
Give me the green light, baby
It’s been red long enough
Give me the green light, baby
So I can show you my stuff

[Verse 2]
You better brace yourself
When I shift my gear
Let me show you, mama
What I've learned through the years
I don't need a speed limit
No fuel shortage for us
You may think I'm a UFO
The way I do my stuff

[Chorus]
Give me the green light, baby
It's been red long enough
Give me the green light, mama
So I can show you my stuff, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
See, I was [?]
I've been good!
I've been walking, talking [?]
Baby, I'm done playing

[Verse 3]
I don’t need a speed limit
No fuel shortage for us
You may think I’m a UFO
The way I do my stuff
Give me the green light, mama
So we can get on the way
Give me the green light, baby
Maybe I [?]

[Chorus]
Give me the green light, baby
It's been red long enough
Give me the green light, mama
So I can show you my stuff

[Verse 4]
Green light, I can’t stand the red
Green light, I can't stand the red
I've got to move, I've got to move
I’ve got to move, I've got to move
I can't stand still, mama, I can't stand still
I can't stand still, baby, I can't stand still
I've got to get on up, I've got to get on up
I've got to get on up, I've got to get on up, baby

[Chorus]
Give me the green light, baby
It's been red long enough
Give me the green light, mama
So I can show you my stuff
Give me the green light, baby
Green light, baby
Green light, green light

[Verse 5]
Can't stand the caution, 'cause I've got to go
Can't stand the caution, I've got to go
[?]

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 6]
Come on, give me the green light
Come on, give me the green light
Come on, give me the green light
Come on, give me the green light
The red is no good, the red is no good
The red is no good, the red is no good
Red means danger, red means danger
Red means danger, red means danger
I need the green light so I can make my trip
I need the green light so I can make my trip
Listen, you pop the wheel and I make my trip
You pop the wheel and I make my trip

[Verse 7]
Give me the green light, give me the green light
Give me the green light, give me the green light
Come on, come on, come on, come on
You better catch up, you gon' get left behind
You better keep up, you gon' get left behind
You better keep up, gonna get left behind
Better keep up, gonna get left behind
Oh, I feel it, I can feel it
I can feel it, I can feel it

[Verse 8]
Feel my motor running, feel my motor running
Feel my motor running, feel my motor running
I feel my motor running, feel my motor running
Feel my motor running, feel my motor running
450 SF, 450 SF, 450 SF, 450 SF
Full speed in the floor, full speed in the floor
Full speed in the floor, full speed in the floor
Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom

[Outro]
Give me the green light
Give me the green light
Give me the green light
Give me the green light
Give it to me
Give it to me
