Teena Marie - The Red Zone Lyrics
War is all around usFighting everywherePoverty, destructionDo they really even careBrothers fighting brothers cause their color's blueSo we're living in the red zone, what am I supposed to doSometimes I feel like I don't want to sing at allThen I think about you baby and I know I got stand up tallBabies making babies, full of china whiteCracking down a dark street, they can't even see no lightLiving for a pipe dream smoking out the blessed mindsKilling sweet, defenseless peopleThey don't even do no timeSometimes I feel like I don't want to sing no moreThen I think about you babyAnd what my sweet Lord had for me in storeI'm living in the red zone but you know it's not that badCause I got you beside me and I don't have to feel so sadI'm living in the red zone, don't you worry about a thingCause you got me to hold you tightAnd you'll be standing in the wingsHolocaust apartheid all around the mapOne lady has 10, 000 shoes and another has food stampsSo many bag people with nowhere to goI can't believe it still goes onLiving in the red zoneSometimes I feel like I don't want to sing at allThen I think about you baby and I know I got to stand up tallI'm living in the red zone but you know it's not that badCause I got you beside me and I don't have to feel so sadI'm living in the red zone, don't you worry about a thingCause you got me to hold you tightAnd you'll be standing in the wingsYou reached in and drew a string of lights all around my heartYou comfort me and you walked me through the darkI'll always love you for the things that you've given meTo be loved by you is a blessing
