"Ready" lyrics

"Ready"

Yeah

You thought I was finished
You thought time was up, secretly I did too (Yeah)
Two years I been missin'
Left you with an album, now look at this, I made two (Yeah)
Huh (That's true)
Tryna stay stable is hard when I'm tryna keep my place at the table, yeah
No matter how I'm feeling, gotta take a minute to celebrate my winnings, yeah (Oh, oh)
Mmh, yeah, yeah

From now on I know I can take what comes my way
And nobody can take that from me
I'm listening to my own voice only, only, oh
Over time people gonna try come and take my place
But nobody can take that from me
'Cause I gave you the music your soul needs
Oh, yeah

Ooh, rock it, rock it, rock it, you
Cannot stop it, stop it, huh
Rock it, rock it, rock it, you
Cannot stop it, huh
Ready

Take your time, you never know
You put in work, you gon' see it grow
There's gon' be highs, there's gon' be lows
But it all makes sense when you see the show
What you feel inside, give it to the world
And when they take you in, ain't a better feeling, no
Forget the guys who don't make you feel at home
They think they're higher, but what they really doing though?

(Running out of pages)
I'm running out of pages, yeah
Radha telling me to go harder (Give it to them)
I'm givin' it for real, no cut corners (Corners)
(Running out of pages)
I'm running out of space, yes, I'm running out of space (Space)
Similar to my mother and father
I wrote this with the help of my lover (Oh)

I know the feeling, you gotta read it
You gotta see it to believe it
Believe you're achieving what you been reaching for
You're not defeated by your demons
I know the feeling, you gotta read it
You gotta see it to believe it
Believe you're achieving what you been reaching for
You're not defeated by your demons

Rock it, rock it, rock it, you (Ooh, yeah)
Cannot stop it, stop it, no
Rock it, rock it, rock it, you
Cannot stop it, stop it, huh (Oh)
Rock it, rock it, rock it, you
Cannot stop it, stop it, no
Rock it, rock it, rock it, you
Cannot stop it, yeah, ready
