I'm Ready
Elevated Soul Presents: A.D.S. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ended the year the same way I started
With hope for tomorrow
Maybe next year I'm working regardless
Shit different cause last time I wasn't focused at all
I grabbed this Lil spot for my girl and my daughter
It ain't much but my peace worth more than a dollar
A house ain't a happy home less it's love before all
Broke then, broke now, I been broken regardless
Focused on being a daddy no room for the artist
Tapered all my loose ends I ain't been to a barber
I detached from many things so I ain't broken hearted
The boy turned to the man when I forgave my father
Gentle beast soft spoken, I got plenty moods
Right now I'm tryna be the blessing for many moons
Been off but I'm still in tune
Voices in my head like it ain't on you that shit in you
A wise man ain't never said much to too many fools but
I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
I'm ready
If you ask me I'm
I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm more ready than I ever been
I'm gone keep climbing to the top I ain't settling
I'm gone ball hard for the times they ain't notice me
I'll take a nigga out before he take me out my element
Coaches sat a nigga on the bench I felt the prejudice
Class of 13 new Supreme Gucci letterman
The smart nigga outlast the toughest and it's evident
We talk the same language I just use a different rhetoric
Eastside nigga, I'm a west side affiliate
Chicago mob-tied but my momma made a gentleman
Niggas back and forth on the net, this shit the Wimbledon
I don't see no real competition we just scrimmaging but
I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
I'm ready




I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready

I love how the chainsaw guy doesn’t have a chain on the saw. So a more apt description would be a stupidly loud razor

A real chainsaw is most likely going to kill someone
