[Intro: Illy & Jimmy Nice] Uh-huh, uh-huh Yeah, Burn City stand up Double S, One Dayers Illy, Illy Syd City in the house Illy we looking fly as fuck, man, we joyriding We joyriding on these toys [Verse 1: Jimmy Nice] For now they call me Mr Nice, y'all stuck in the pits and I'm glad You're mad your boat's gone and y'all missed the flight for me So on, so ready, no wrong You're tripping off your Haterade mixed with ice, and I— I know exactly how the scene does Just between us I'm kinda proud that, Sydney's cleaned up No diss to my predecessors, I heed your lessons But Sydney looked dead till I put my team up You could stumble from the sky and In all your troubles you could find I'm flyer Spit it like a scene from The Wire, baby, I'm clean Still the biggest oughta check my priors Toy boys, some jack the flow for ransom If I get my hands on a slice I come back with a loaf That's food for the family, red light, greed light Who don't want my team to eat right, huh? [Chorus: Cisco Taraves & Illy] We don't stop, we don't stop For no red lights Uh-uh, say this shit don't stop We ride till the end of the line, give me the green light But to me, all I see is The gleam of the green in the lights That's the family, red light, green light Who don't want my team to eat right, huh? We don't stop, we don't stop For no red lights Uh-uh, say this shit don't stop We ride till the end of the line, give me the green light But to me, all I see is The gleam of the green in the lights That's the family, red light, green light Who don't want my team to eat right, huh? [Verse 2: Solo] It's been a minute since I picked up the pen But Illy put the call out, so I'm 'bout to buck the trend And ball out, but I'm not talking bucks my friend I'm not rich in what I got, but what I got to give Sitting in gridlock city traffic Monday madness got us stuck in stasis But I'ma do a Tracy Chapman Hop a fast car, hit the gas, never look backwards See we come pretty far since sixteen years Way more than I could fit in these sixteen bars A couple deadlines later We made a couple headlines, got the haters up past their bed time So from the Inner West lines to wherever these lines take me We hit the brakes if we have to But if not (But if not,) we non stop (We non stop) Suckers seeing red, all I'm seeing's the green light [Chorus: Cisco Taraves & Illy] We don't stop, we don't stop For no red lights Uh-uh, say this shit don't stop We ride till the end of the line, give me the green light But to me, all I see is The gleam of the green in the lights That's the family, red light, green light Who don't want my team to eat right, huh? We don't stop, we don't stop For no red lights Uh-uh, say this shit don't stop We ride till the end of the line, give me the green light But to me, all I see is The gleam of the green in the lights That's the family, red light, green light Who don't want my team to eat right, huh? [Verse 3: Nick Lupi] [?] As soon as the lights change I'm with a baby Everything in my range, yeah I hit it, I'm crazy Lupi: It's so good, it's so gravy These rappers shook, looking like they just seen Swayze There ain't much more than a cinema screen As I stare back eyes with a villainous gleam So what you wan' do, girl? Just give me the green And I'ma do what I do, yeah, get you to dream Soon as I hit Melly, Illy on the cell And he got some five broads at the telly and I wonder If they only wanna fuck 'cause I'm in Spit Syndicate But, more importantly, do I give a shit? Oh no, not even a little bit, I'm a boss I'm interstate, then any minute taking off Nouveau riche, Nick the Don in the inner west Get busy boys and we getting it on, I'm gone [Chorus: Cisco Taraves & Illy] We don't stop, we don't stop For no red lights Uh-uh, say this shit don't stop We ride till the end of the line, give me the green light But to me, all I see is The gleam of the green in the lights That's the family, red light, green light Who don't want my team to eat right, huh? We don't stop, we don't stop For no red lights Uh-uh, say this shit don't stop We ride till the end of the line, give me the green light But to me, all I see is (Yeah) The gleam of the green in the lights (Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh) That's the family, red light, green light ([?]) Who don't want my team to eat right, huh? ([?]) [Verse 4: Illy] So I gotta match the attitude, still much respect To those that blaze the same avenues I use But to come from the shadows in the city of kings Can't give a shit what anyone thinks, so with that I said, "Fuck waiting in the wings" Leapfrog them Jog and I'd still run rings, no problem Dig no turbo, no tints, fuck it, I don't need rims I could tram it and have your girlfriend want dibs And I don't drop [?], my city's best list Reads 'Illy, Phrase, Pegz', so anybody else Wanna get their toes wet, jump in (Come on) But take it as a warning, I won't hit the brake, I hit the horn So if you in my sights, goodnight ([?]) And baby, if they stopping at the red light wave 'em goodbye [?] from I Dub to Frankston line A young gun with a [?], allow me to remind 'em That [Chorus: Cisco Taraves & Illy] We don't stop, we don't stop For no red lights Uh-uh, say this shit don't stop We ride till the end of the line, give me the green light But to me, all I see is The gleam of the green in the lights That's the family, red light, green light Who don't want my team to eat right, huh? We don't stop, we don't stop For no red lights Uh-uh, say this shit don't stop We ride till the end of the line, give me the green light But to me, all I see is The gleam of the green in the lights That's the family, red light, green light Who don't want my team to eat right, huh?
