I’m reminiscing like JOE, staring at faded picturesnThrough Satan’s tempting and deathnBack resurrected as the greatest victornThroughout my travels sampled great elixirsnLiquor’s and weednFeel like I’m bleeding, need a way to fix thisnPain that I feednI told’em “Go head I ain’t coming”nBed being Co – Ed stop being funnAnd I can’t even sleepnStress running my mindnGot diamonds but don’t none of em’ shinenMy heart is heavynEvery problem weigh a ton at a timenStay isolated cause’ I’m one of a kindnFake homies claiming that they got my backnBut every one of em’ lyingnMy label jerking me forever jackingnBut like Jeremiah this fire got in my bonesnNow I’m forever rappingnI took the bitter with the sweetnNever quitters we keepnTeaching like ghetto Messiah’s to deliver the streetsnBecame a son of God as soon as I admitted I’m weaknAnd gave back what was given to menI don’t understand whynn(Chorus:)nI don’t know whynYou gotta lienThink I’m gon’ trynTake your piece of the piennScheme and you cheatnCheat and you lienI don’t understand why they keep playing with menI don’t know whynYou gotta lienThink I’m gon’ trynTake your piece of the pienScheme and you cheatnCheat and you lienI’m a grown man now quit playing with mennNo y’all ain’t ready for itnI don’t think they ready for itnReally y’all ain’t ready for itnI don’t think they ready for itnY’all think y’all ready for itnI don’t think they ready for itnWho think they ready for it?nI don’t think they readynnThis hip-hop, rock, soulnIs all we do around herenI spit a lotnPracticing flowing while I’m doing my hairnFrom Little RocknSome of em’ said I wasn’t going nowherenBut I had confidence these poems I share’d be embraced by manynSaid “you way too skinnynNobody gave me anythingnBe singing at my job while I slave for penniesnI love emceeingnLove to be in the studio lockednHaters that knocked gon’ see me rocking at coliseumsnI used to cry watching these video showsnPitifulnArtist with silly flowsnThey gotta be kiddingnYo, why we dope and got it hard like this?nI don’t understand it my band is making all these hitsnAnd I feel abandoned by labels cause’ they all insistnI should straighten my hair to hit itnI’m real but they don’t get itnEvery mic I lit itnFor fans I stay committednWant me solo forget itnWe make a dollar we split itnTell me whynn(Chorus)nnNone of y’all ain’t ready for itnI don’t think they ready for itnNo y’all ain’t ready for itnI don’t think they ready for itnY’all think y’all ready for itnI don’t think they ready for itnBut y’all ain’t ready for itnI don’t think they readynnI’m gon’ stay readynI’ma stay ready (repeat till the end)nnReady for whatevernReady for whoevernYou ain’t gon’ never catch us slippingnThis is HiprocksoulnIt don’t matter what they saynTena Jones gon’ be readynWe all gon’ be readyn4th Avenue gon’ stay readynWe gon’ be readynWe gon’ stay readynWe been putting it down for so longnI’m readynI’ve been ready all my lifenI’ve been ready all my lifenSo every thing will be all rightn
