I'm reminiscing like JOE, staring at faded pictures Through Satan's tempting and death Back resurrected as the greatest victor Throughout my travels sampled great elixirs Liquor's and weed Feel like I'm bleeding, need a way to fix this Pain that I feed I told'em “Go head I ain't coming†Bed being Co – Ed stop being fun And I can't even sleep Stress running my mind Got diamonds but don't none of em' shine My heart is heavy Every problem weigh a ton at a time Stay isolated cause' I'm one of a kind Fake homies claiming that they got my back But every one of em' lying My label jerking me forever jacking But like Jeremiah this fire got in my bones Now I'm forever rapping I took the bitter with the sweet Never quitters we keep Teaching like ghetto Messiah's to deliver the streets Became a son of God as soon as I admitted I'm weak And gave back what was given to me I don't understand why CHORUS I don't know why You gotta lie Think I'm gon' try Take your piece of the pie Scheme and you cheat Cheat and you lie I don't understand why they keep playing with me I don't know why You gotta lie Think I'm gon' try Take your piece of the pie Scheme and you cheat Cheat and you lie I'm a grown man now quit playing with me No y'all ain't ready for it I don't think they ready for it Really y'all ain't ready for it I don't think they ready for it Y'all think y'all ready for it I don't think they ready for it Who think they ready for it? I don't think they ready This hip-hop, rock, soul Is all we do around here I spit a lot Practicing flowing while I'm doing my hair From Little Rock Some of em' said I wasn't going nowhere But I had confidence these poems I share'd be embraced by many Said “you way too skinny†Nobody gave me anything Be singing at my job while I slave for pennies I love emceeing Love to be in the studio locked Haters that knocked gon' see me rocking at coliseums I used to cry watching these video shows Pitiful Artist with silly flows They gotta be kidding Yo, why we dope and got it hard like this? I don't understand it my band is making all these hits And I feel abandoned by labels cause' they all insist I should straighten my hair to hit it I'm real but they don't get it Every mic I lit it For fans I stay committed Want me solo forget it We make a dollar we split it Tell me why CHORUS None of y'all ain't ready for it I don't think they ready for it No y'all ain't ready for it I don't think they ready for it Y'all think y'all ready for it I don't think they ready for it But y'all ain't ready for it I don't think they ready BRIDGE I'm gon' stay ready I'ma stay ready (repeat till the end) Ready for whatever Ready for whoever You ain't gon' never catch us slipping This is Hiprocksoul It don't matter what they say Tena Jones gon' be ready We all gon' be ready 4th Avenue gon' stay ready We gon' be ready We gon' stay ready We been putting it down for so long I'm ready I've been ready all my life I've been ready all my life So every thing will be all right
