Teena Marie - The Red Zone lyrics

War is all around us Fighting everywhere Poverty, destruction Do they really even care Brothers fighting brothers cause their color's blue So we're living in the red zone, what am I supposed to do Sometimes I feel like I don't want to sing at all Then I think about you baby and I know I got stand up tall Babies making babies, full of china white Cracking down a dark street, they can't even see no light Living for a pipe dream smoking out the blessed minds k**ing sweet, defenseless people They don't even do no time Sometimes I feel like I don't want to sing no more Then I think about you baby And what my sweet Lord had for me in store I'm living in the red zone but you know it's not that bad Cause I got you beside me and I don't have to feel so sad I'm living in the red zone, don't you worry about a thing Cause you got me to hold you tight And you'll be standing in the wings Holocaust apartheid all around the map One lady has 10,000 shoes and another has food stamps So many bag people with nowhere to go I can't believe it still goes on Living in the red zone Sometimes I feel like I don't want to sing at all Then I think about you baby and I know I got to stand up tall I'm living in the red zone but you know it's not that bad Cause I got you beside me and I don't have to feel so sad I'm living in the red zone, don't you worry about a thing Cause you got me to hold you tight And you'll be standing in the wings You reached in and drew a string of lights all around my heart You comfort me and you walked me through the dark I'll always love you for the things that you've given me To be loved by you is a blessing
