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    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
