Give it to mama
Give it, give it
Give it to mama, mama (oh)
Give it
Give it to mama, mama
For some strange reason (huh)
You done pleasin' me like it's okay (oh, oh, oh)
Like a perm that's been left too long, it starts to burn
The result is it just won't take (oh, oh, oh)
(I can see) now it's all coming so clear to me now
(I can see) misinterpreted all of my naiveness
Was just thinking if I had, no, you that I can't do
My stock just went up over two million
So if you want to (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
You got the green light (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
So if you want to (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
You got the green light (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
So if you want to (want to, want to) (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
You got the green light (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
So if you want to (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
You got the green light (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
Give it to mama
Go, go, go, go, oh, oh, oh
Go, go, go, go, oh, oh
Go, go, go, go, oh, oh, oh
Go, go, red light
(Ah) green light
Some see me, say I should be trophied
'Cause it gets no stronger (oh, oh, oh)
Ladies, y'all know (yeah, girl, y'all know)
This pimp-ish gets no older
Is that a threat? (What's another threat?)
Yep (that's another threat)
I'm immune, you can't get no cold, yeah
You got the green light (whoa)
You the king, right? (Whoa)
You holdin' up traffic, green means go
Go, go, go, go, oh, oh, oh
Go, go, go, go, oh, oh, oh
Go, go, go, go, oh, oh, oh
Go, go, red light, green light (I said you're holdin' up traffic, green means go)
So if you want to (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
You got the green light (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh) (you got the green light baby)
So if you want to (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
You got the green light (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
So if you want to (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh) (if you want to)
You got the green light (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
So if you want to (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
You got the green light (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
(Give it to mama)
Ain't no problem, you can go (go, go, go, go, oh, oh, oh)
I will find somebody else
It's alright, I'll move along (go, go, go, go, oh, oh, oh)
You got the green light, so you can go
Go, go, go, go, oh, oh, oh
Go, go, go, go, go (red light, green light)
I gave all I could give, my love
My heart (my heart)
Now we're facing the end (the end) of what you did from the start
My love
You're holdin' up traffic, green means go
So if you want to (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
You got the green light (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
So if you want to (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
You got the green light (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
So if you want to (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
You got the green light (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
So if you want to (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
You got the green light (uh, uh, huh, uh, uh)
(Give it to mama)
Ain't no problem, you can go (go, go, go, go, oh, oh, oh)
I will find somebody else
It's alright, I'll move along (go, go, go, go, oh, oh, oh)
You got the green light, so you can go
Go, go, go, go, oh, oh, oh
Go, go, go, oh (red light, green light)
