Ready for Me

lyrics

(Verse 1)

They wanna know who
Is this young, new
Rapper on the scene
Swagger a little dapper
Maybe different than you’ve seen
Hopefully you’ll read his chapters
Just to figure what he means
This God given talent, see
I got it in my genes
Like thread up on the pocket
That you sew into the seams
But never match the outfit
Of the masses
So it seems
I’m so left field
And I ain’t even talking baseball
But I’m here to take all
Got bets
Place all
Can’t lose when you messing with a dude
With this much ambition
I’m up, man listen
Why do I stand out most in a peer meeting
Cuz my quotes meet quotas
Most my peers ain’t meting
I’m confident in that
If the haters wanna chat
Tell ’em that they can bring it on
No cheerleading
My premonition is that
What they missing in rap
Is spitting the facts
These lines will have listening back
In fact

(Chorus)

They keep asking if I’m ready for the game
Ready to be a star
With the money and the fame
And no matter where you are
Everybody knows your name
I’m looking right at ‘em
Asking the same

Are y’all ready for me?
Are y’all ready for me?
Just know that I’mma tell the truth
And no I won’t stop
I started at the bottom
Now I’m ready for the top

(Verse 2)

These dudes wanna stunt hard
I ain’t trying to show off
Cuz all I see is negative
Turn the show off
They start in the right lane
But tend to go off
So that’s why when I write mayne
I tend to go off
Sincerity is missing
That’s probably why they dissing
When they smelling something different
That I’m mixing in the kitchen
Homey, I’m never pitching
All the money in the world
Couldn’t help you pay attention
I’m hoping you’ll listen
My mission’s to get a buzz
Like delivery boys
I’ve been working on my lyrics
And delivery boy
To birth life into this game
Like deliveries boy
Put myself in this position
I’m deliberately poised
To be the next up
Yes, yup
Till I am the best up
Best out
‘Member them days when I was stressed out
Watchin’ ‘em make moves
Feelin’ like I was left out
Now they better give respect out

(Chorus)

They keep asking if I’m ready for the game
Ready to be a star
With the money and the fame
And no matter where you are
Everybody knows your name
I’m looking right at ‘em
Asking the same

Are y’all ready for me?
Are y’all ready for me?
Just know that I’mma tell the truth
And no I won’t stop
I started at the bottom
Now I’m ready for the top

(Verse 3)

And I’ma put my city on the map
Whether they like it or not
I’m bringing the essence back
See, I’m writing the plot
To the story of my life
Put me in the best spot
Sketching out my blueprint
I ain’t talking S. Dot
Just the life and times
Of Mike Dreams
And my dream’s
For my scene
To go and shine like light beams
It might seem
That pie in the sky is kinda high
But if I spit this cold flow
For the cash
We’ll call it ice cream
Then make Alamode
I don’t rock ice creams
I don’t need designer clothes
To show ‘em what I mean
I am the freshest out
And if your dollars had sense
You would sense
I’d be the hottest investment out
Sorry Mr. Jacob
But I don’t need a chain
I drop this knowledge on ‘em
Let the words be the rain
As I take over the reigns
In the city that I claim
Ever since Prince left
They’ve been looking for a king

(Chorus)

They keep asking if I’m ready for the game
Ready to be a star
With the money and the fame
And no matter where you are
Everybody knows your name
I’m looking right at ‘em
Asking the same

Are y’all ready for me?
Are y’all ready for me?
Just know that I’mma tell the truth
And no I won’t stop
I started at the bottom
Now I’m ready for the top
