Put your hands up, take it to the floor
You already give me the green light baby
Put your glass up, pour a little more
[eski boy...roll deep]
You already give me the green light
I was lookin' for the green light
Who's gonna take me home, yeah she might
The night's so young and I wanna have fun
So I'm gonna keep goin' till the party's done
You know I love women, but which ones gonna control me?
'Cuz I wanna be your one and only
You know I love women, but which ones gonna control me?
'Cuz I wanna be your one and only
I follow the green cross code, then I cross the road
I follow the signs then I follow my nose
Seek out my princess, speak on the phone
Eventually I'm a treat with a stone
No regular seats, i get the throne out
His and her match, we're gunna ball out
Your crown and my crown, we're gonna ball out
Take my time, I won't stall out
Stop!
Take a look, left and right
Is it clear for me to go?
Let me know, is it me that you've been waitin' for...
Put your hands up (put your hands up), take it to the floor (take it to the floor)
You already give me the green light baby (I'm giving you the green light)
Put your glass up (put your glass up), pour a little more (pour a little more)
You already give me the green light (I'm givin' you the green light)
That time when I saw ya I fort
Wow, sort
Check out the skirt on that
Nuff short
Straight to the bar - tequila, lemon, salt
I give her the all clear, letting her know green light, letting her go
Clocked her from a mile away, thought to myself, why not give it a go..?
I like what I see, face all lit up like a Christmas tree
It's amazing the way she glows, heaven knows what cloud she fell from
Skirts a bit high above the knee, but I know that twinkle in her eye's for me
I said just show me a signal - she flashed red, amber, green
Stop!
Take a look, left and right
Is it clear for me to go?
Let me know, is it me that you've been waitin' for...
Put your hands up (put your hands up), take it to the floor (take it to the floor)
You already give me the green light baby (I'm giving you the green light)
Put your glass up (put your glass up), pour a little more (pour a little more)
You already give me the green light (I'm givin' you the green light)
Stop, pop, don't drop
Pour me a little (put your hands up)
Stop, pop, don't drop
Pour me a little (take it to the floor)
Stop, pop, don't drop
Pour me a little (put your glass up)
Don't wanna see red now, flash your green lights tonight
All it takes is a week, one smile and a drink
I say a couple words, and he might be a link
I like the fact that she ain't wearin' a ring, and he ain't lookin' at her
We're the perfect match, what a good catch
He's 10 out of 10, I've gotta keep that
He's so far gone, the green lights on - I ain't gonna turn back
It's a rap
Stop!
Take a look, left and right
Is it clear for me to go? (for me to go)
Let me know (let me know), is it me that you've been waitin' for...
Put your hands up, take it to the floor
You already give me the green light baby
Put your glass up (roll deep), pour a little more
You already give me the green light (I'm giving you the green light)
Put your hands up (put your hands up), take it to the floor (take it to the floor)
You already give me the green light baby (I'm giving you the green light)
Put your glass up (put your glass up), pour a little more (pour a little more)
You already give me the green light (I'm givin' you the green light)
Stop, pop, don't drop
Pour me a little (put your hands up)
Stop, pop, don't drop
Pour me a little (take it to the floor)
Stop, pop, don't drop
Pour me a little (put your glass up)
Don't wanna see red now, flash your green lights tonight
