Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Said
I'm on I'm on till ya give me no more
Still I'm ready even if I don't go
Baby girl I'm still on and on since I popped out the hole
Still I'm ready even if I don't go

Said, I'm naked down to my socks
Bitch I'm Anthony Kiedis
All this shaman I got
Put that right to your sneezers
Ride around on my block
VTA 2K Teasey
Fuck the police
Okay back to my thesis
Hoes don't love 'em, don't treat 'em
I just teach 'em to stroke 'em
Pass that over to LODEF
He gon' pass it to hoder
He gon' lend it Nikos
Okay bases are loaded
Then she make it to Parker
She MVP with the trophy
Like get it right with the shotty
But it's made with a fender
Flavour flay with the top
I had no time to play pitcher
You niggas acting like goalies
Yous a hatin' defender
I stay on Ps and Qs
Since the type of my sentence

And I'm ready
If I don't go
Don't go
Don't go
I'm ready
Don't go
Don't go
Don't
Motherfucker I'm ready

They oughta know
They oughta see
How you feeling, oh, that's that masterpiece
Did you roll or make it mine (Make your mind up)
We stay whole and you can wind (You can wind up)
Pick on the floorda, they gonna pop that cola
Bitch niggas wanna roll up, bitch nigga here get rolled up
Slow motion watch me win that corner (Win that corner)
Slow motion let she give me more, muh

I can't stand what you got
Girl your ass is Movado
I can't help but to watch
Collard greens in my pocket
All these clouds I think I finally see the top

And motherfucker I'm ready
If I don't go
I don't go
I don't go
I'm ready
If I don't go
If I don't go
If I don't go
Motherfucker I'm ready
I don't go
I'm ready
If I don't go
If I don't go
Motherfucker I'm ready I'm ready

If you got a problem we can light it up
Light it up, we can light it up
If you got a problem we can light it up
Light it up, we can light it up
If you got a problem we can light it up
Light it up, we can light it up




If you got a problem we can light it up
Light it up, we can light it up

Overall Meaning

"Already" by Anderson Paak is a song that talks about being ready for whatever life throws your way. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm ready, if I don't go" which can be interpreted in different ways. The first verse speaks about being ready to keep going, to keep trying even when faced with obstacles. The second verse is a mix of different references, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers (Anthony Kiedis) to basketball, but the main message is about being confident and ready to take on whatever comes next.


The bridge talks about staying true to oneself and not letting others bring you down, with a catchy line "I can't stand what you got, girl your ass is Movado" which is a double entendre that can be interpreted as both a watch brand and a compliment to the woman's physical appearance. The song ends with an invitation to light up any problem, to face it head on and overcome it.
