"I'm Ready" lyrics

"I'm Ready"

I see beauty in the shape of feathers, flight like arrows, sparrows
I've seen strength in the face of death
I've seen money in the streets of ghettos, Soweto, shadows fall
Across faces of pain, still they strain, for greatness
From those years, still sacrificing
No fears, just drive, like Tyson
In flight I'll soar
Can't sit back no more

I was waiting on this shit
Didn't realize I was waiting on this
I'm young and I'm ready
I'll run this shit till the death of me
My ambition is my weaponry
I'll run this shit till the death of me

Determination became the anthem, hung like phantoms, and I learned
Retaliate on all my fears
I learned love was a type of cancer, killed you faster, the answer was
To find peace between those years
Over trembling floors, I'm steady
But they've written my death already
So many times
But this fire won't die

I was waiting on this shit
Didn't realize I was waiting on this
I'm young and I'm ready
I'll run this shit till the death of me
My ambition is my weaponry
I'll run this shit till the death of me
