  • Eski boy, Roll deep!
    I was lookin' for the green light
    Who's gonna take me home, yeah she might
    The nights 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 fall on my nose
    Seek out my princess, speak on the phone
    Eventually I'm a cheat with a stone
    No regular seats, I get the phone out
    His and her match, we're goin' all 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 thought, wow, so
    Check out the skirt on that, now straight to the bar - tequila, lemon, salt
    I give her the all clear, letting her know green light, letting her go,
    Dropped 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 goes, 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 she might be a link
    I like the fact that she aint wearin' a ring, and she ain't lookin' at him
    We're the perfect match, what a good catch
    She's 10 out of 10, I've gotta keep that
    She's so far gone, the green lights on - I aint gonna turn back
    It's a rap

    Stop!
    Take a look, left and right
    Is it clear for me too 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. Writer/s: FLYNN FRANCIS, ROBERT PETER WILLIAMS, TIMOTHY GRANT METCALFE
