Are You Ready
Coolio Feat.L.V. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been walking long and talking fast
Thinking I be the best and the last
You got me babe it's feeling okay
Keeps me coming back for another day
I hardly knew ya
I hardly knew ya
Been socking it to ya
And now I'm learning to groove ya
Learning to groove ya
It's feeling okay baby
The game of love you can not divide it
Unlike a coin that comes up two sided
Who can deny how it was when we started
Still need a little bit to keep us from starving
I hardly knew ya
I hardly knew ya
Been socking it to ya
And now I'm learning to groove ya
Learning to groove ya
It's feeling okay baby
You ready for love baby
You ready for sunshine and flowers
You ready for love baby
To lay in your bed for hours
You ready for love baby
You know it's the source of all power
You ready for love baby
You know it means more than your dollars Baby
I hardly knew ya
I hardly knew ya
Been socking it to ya
But now I'm learning to groove ya
It's feeling okay baby
You ready for love baby
You ready for sunshine and flowers
You ready for love baby
To lay in your bed for hours
You ready for love baby
You know it's the source of all power
You ready for love baby
You know it means more than your dollars Baby
You ready for love baby
You ready for sunshine and flowers
You ready for love baby
To lay in your bed for hours
Baby are you ready for Love
Hey Hey Hey
Baby are you ready for love
Hey Hey Hey
Baby are you ready for Love
Hey Hey Now




Baby are you ready for love
The source of all power

Overall Meaning

He acknowledges that he was not taught how to be a leader and that it's a learning experience. He asks for patience from those around him as he works towards his dreams of success. Despite the obstacles he faces, he remains determined to grind and work relentlessly until he achieves his objectives.

The chorus by L.V. is a reminder that their dreams are big, and they should work towards making them a reality.

I was sitting completely drunk and lonely in a park listening to this song. I thought that my life was finished and nothing will happen to me. It was 1997. Today, I have been sober for over 20 years) Keep the faith.)
