Ready or Not
Ready or Not: Rising from the Streets to Success
Lyrics
I got my weight up momma I'm who they talk about
I have gained recognition, and people are talking about me.
I got my foot up in the game they tried to lock me out
I have established myself in the industry despite attempts to exclude me.
Told em that I wanna ball they tried to box me out
Despite resistance, I expressed my desire for success, but they tried to sideline me.
Told me recreate myself that's when I lost myself
I lost my true self while trying to conform and recreate my image.
Told me rap about the drugs and how I'd off myself
Pressure to rap about drugs and self-harm, losing focus on my well-being.
I guess my well being I guess it mean nothing
My well-being seems insignificant to others.
All they want from me they never get from me
People want things from me that I never give them.
And a whole tour later ain't did shit for me
Despite a whole tour, I haven't achieved much recognition or success.
And a whole tour later I ain't shit homie
After a tour, I still feel like I haven't accomplished much.
I was posted on the block with the big homies
I used to be on the streets with influential figures.
Ain't seen them in some years I hope they proud of me
I hope those influential figures are proud of my achievements.
Got detached from my roots cause this white money
I distanced myself from my roots for financial success.
So I'm back to my roots that's what it's like for me
I'm returning to my roots because that's where I feel at home.
All the ones that said I couldn't that was blasphemy
Those who doubted me were wrong; now I have loyal supporters.
Now I got a couple niggas who would blast for me
I have friends who would defend me fiercely.
Write a movie have my niggas be the cast for me
Planning to make a movie with my friends playing significant roles.
Baby are you ready or not ready or not
Are you prepared for what's coming, or are you not?
Now or never take your shot take your shot
This is the moment to act; take your chance.
Really this is all I know all I know
My life revolves around this; it's all I know.
Relax and just enjoy the show enjoy the show
Relax and enjoy the unfolding events.
Baby are you ready or not ready or not
Are you prepared for what's coming, or are you not?
Now or never take your shot take your shot
This is the moment to act; take your chance.
Really this is all I know all I know
My life revolves around this; it's all I know.
Relax and just enjoy the show enjoy the show
Relax and enjoy the unfolding events.
I then lost faith I then lost a couple homies
I lost faith and some close friends.
Standing at the plate what that pitcher finna throw me
Facing challenges, unsure of what life will throw at me.
I cannot relate I swear you niggas do not know me
People don't really understand who I am.
Might know of me I was on the block in the field like rugby
I was in the streets and fields, resembling the physicality of rugby.
Broken down apartments hood made me angry cross the lake see the condos
Growing up in tough conditions; anger fueled by poverty.
Never took a flight now I'm always in the sky though
From a life of hardship to constant flights and success.
This one here for skygo smoking with my eyes closed
Smoking and relaxing, taking a moment for myself.
People they gon talk but I ain't worried that's how life goes
People will talk, but I'm not worried; that's part of life.
Bitches they gon hate see the envy in they eyes so
Jealousy and hatred from others are evident.
Reason why I stay gone reason why I hate home
I stay away because I know people only appreciate me when I'm gone.
Cus I know these niggas only love me when my days gone
Baby are you ready or not ready or not
Are you prepared for what's coming, or are you not?
Now or never take your shot take your shot
This is the moment to act; take your chance.
Really this is all I know all I know
My life revolves around this; it's all I know.
Relax and just enjoy the show enjoy the show
Relax and enjoy the unfolding events.
Baby are you ready or not ready or not
Are you prepared for what's coming, or are you not?
Now or never take your shot take your shot
This is the moment to act; take your chance.
Really this is all I know all I know
My life revolves around this; it's all I know.
Relax and just enjoy the show enjoy the show
Relax and enjoy the unfolding events.
