Ready or Not
Dj B-Real Lyrics

If you're reading this it's too late
No turning back now, the decisions have already been made.

Nothing you can say now will induce fate
Words cannot change the course of destiny.

This is all cause and effect of the risk that we take
Consequences of the choices we make are inevitable.

Promises we make and we break
Commitments that are not always upheld.

And I knew it was coming
Anticipating the inevitable outcome.

I didn't work so hard just to end up with nothing
Striving for a meaningful result after putting in effort.

I didn't come so far
Progressing to a certain point of achievement.

Put my whole heart into something
Investing emotions and dedication into a pursuit.

Just to fall back on it all of a sudden
Unexpectedly losing ground in a situation.

And it took me a minute
A moment of realization.

Becoming unsatisfied with the life I was living
Feeling discontent with the current circumstances.

And suicide on my mind half the time
Struggling with dark thoughts and emotions.

I was at the edge of my limits but I was afraid to admit it
Acknowledging personal boundaries but hesitant to confront them.

And everyday feeling worse than the last
Experiencing a continuous decline in mental or emotional state.

But there's no hope in reversing the past
Recognizing that the past cannot be changed.

So I dive head first I don't care if it hurts if I crash
Taking risks without fear of failure or pain.

I would rather flirt with disaster
Preferring to challenge fate than to play it safe.

I would rather press my luck
Choosing to rely on chance rather than caution.

Than be stuck in a world that I know I can't trust
Preferring uncertainty over a predictable but untrustworthy environment.

Adjusted to a lifestyle that I don't love
Adapting to a routine or situation that lacks fulfillment.

Disgusted to the point where I don't wanna wake up
Feeling repulsed by the current state of being.

To the same routines killing my self-esteem
Monotonous actions that contribute to a decline in self-worth.

Trying to tell myself it's not as bad as it seems
Attempting to justify or minimize negative feelings.

Focused every day to find a balance between
Working towards equilibrium in various aspects of life.

Honing in on my talents and chasing after my dreams
Developing skills and pursuing personal aspirations.

It's not as easy as I thought it'd be
Realizing that the journey to success is more challenging than expected.

Realigning my priorities
Adjusting what matters most in life.

And stop worrying what other people think about me
Letting go of concern for external opinions.

I'm victimized by my own inferiority complex
Suffering from feelings of inadequacy within oneself.

Bothered by the constant nonsense
Disturbed by the continuous trivialities of life.

That got me feeling so self-conscious
Causing a heightened awareness of one's own actions and appearance.

And way less confident
Experiencing a significant decrease in self-assurance.

In all my accomplishments
Despite achievements, feeling a lack of fulfillment.

And I've become so numb to the compliments
Becoming desensitized to praise or positive feedback.

And I don't care about what my common sense says
Disregarding conventional wisdom or logical reasoning.

I'ma give it all and live with the consequences
Committing fully and accepting the outcomes, whatever they may be.

Yeah, I'm taking a stance This is my chance
Deciding to assert oneself and seize the current opportunity.

I'm gonna give it everything that I got My future is in my hands and I'ma find out right now if I'm ready or not
Putting forth maximum effort to determine readiness for the future.

Because it's now or it's never And I'm willing to do whatever it takes to see it all come together
Realizing the urgency of the situation and being prepared to do anything to achieve success.

Whether better or worse, I'm putting all else aside, focused on myself first On my self-worth
Prioritizing personal development and value above all else, regardless of the outcome.

Working
Continuing to put in effort and strive for progress.

And I know I'm not a perfect person
Acknowledging personal flaws and imperfections.

I've been searching for my life purpose But I'm uncertain as to why I'm so nervous
Seeking meaning in life while experiencing anxiety about the unknown.

Still I I can't patiently wait Playing it safe and expecting myself to be great When It's all about faith
Realizing the importance of taking risks and having faith in the journey.

And since you're reading this I'm sorry but you're way too late
Addressing those who may have doubted or dismissed the journey.

I'ma find out right now! Cuz I'ma find out right now if I'm ready or not Yeah… I'ma find out right now!
Expressing determination to discover readiness for the challenges ahead.

I said I'ma find out right now if I'm ready or not! Right now if i'm ready or not, yeah Right now if i'm ready or not Right now if i'm ready or not, yeah Right now if i'm ready or
Emphasizing the sense of urgency in determining preparedness for the future.

Taking a shot Carving a spot for myself all the way at the top And I'm never gonna stop Not till I've given up every single thing I've got
Striving for the highest position while committing fully to the journey.

I know you're asking a lot Asking a lot
Aware that the journey requires dedication and sacrifice.
