ready or not
Look look it’s crazy I’m the one they want to represent
Young black girl,I can probably be the president
I’m the voice of the youth,you heard my tone I think it’s evident
I know who I am, they mistake my confidence for arrogance
I think is different cause I don’t take my clothes off
I just played my role y’all
I can’t sell my soul y’all
I just shoot to triple my arm up I guess I show off
They sleep and I let them doze off
Wake em up oh yea it’s roll call
My chocolate is beautiful
I’m rocking it per usual
I’m loving every piece men
From my top to my cuticles
Tryna play with my head real love won’t be confusing you
I learned make sure the one you putting first is also choosing you men
Life is so crazy, many lessons and blessings
I'm steady stressing perfection
I keep neglecting my ethics
So much texts and the message
I’m tryna lessen my stressing
Finally understand my power
My presence is essence
They killed my daddy while my mama was pregnant
How I’m I supposed to feel ?!
And they took my grandma child from her
How is she supposed to heal ?!
And we here starving ain’t got nothing
How are we supposed to give ?!
Seem like the system they set us up and we’re supposed to fail
I’m so real the mayor gave me a day in my city
But it’s so sad that I can’t even go and stay in my city
And the shooting and killings, little kids can’t even play in my city
It’s so wicked, they killed my daddy and brought a day in my city
But I still love him
I’ll give him every dime that I got
Is running out but I’ll give you all the time that I’ve got
You was the fakest on my team and I’m just finding it out
That make me sick into my stomach want to vomit it out
And I’m like ready or not men it’s my time out
I done gave it everything I got it’s time to shine out
They done blew the whistle men my foot across the line now
Clock is ticking down ain’t got no thirty seconds time out for real though
I know I done made it cause I don’t
I would never waste my voice if I don’t speak for a cause
I reminisce man I just thinking
My mama told me you keep shooting for the moon you gon have a seat with them stars
on god And I’m like ready or not
Here I come,you can’t hide
I’m rooting for you
It take it slowly
Ready or not
Here I come,you can’t hide
I’m rooting for you
It take it slowly
