Ready For War
Enkay47 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since birth I was given a flame
With a little bit of pain
And started developing words that can fit with the rage
Don't want to sit in the rain
Spittin venomous plates
Enkay47 will never go and
Change his life
Never break belief
You wanna step up to the plate let me break your knees
There's so many people talking I can barely speak
Not in the room in my head I can barely breath
Lately I feel as I'm about to suffocate
Now I feel this rope around my neck
Its like it's gonna break
As the world turns black, I'm inside another place
Enkay47 saved me with all his fucking hate
Now I got a feel this pressure to be something great
I can't even say a joke bitch you think I'm fucking playing
Damn, can't believe I got this in me
Lately I just wanna kill this music and this industry
Fuck it all the sympathy is gone from the facility
This don't even make sense dawg
Am I a real MC?
Or am I fake as fuck 'cause I can't sell
I just gotta say I'm real
Step into the battlefield
This is going warfare
Why are you looking so scared
I can't never break down
I know that is so rare
Even if I spoke brave
All I need if myself (myself, myself, myself, myself, myself)
(I'm ready for war)
This is going warfare
Why are you looking so scared
I can't never break down
I know that is so rare
Even if I spoke brave
All I need if myself (myself, myself, myself, myself, myself)
(I'm ready for war)
Everybody listen up
I'll be a general
I want you to call me sir
I don't mean in general
I mean every fucking second
I will be respected yo
Speaking of second, second off is the objective though
Let me make this clear
Imma say this once so make sure you fuckin' hear
The reason we make this music is becoming clear
Plus if we crumble here
Then this would be all for nothing
Look in the fucking mirror
You gotta fight for something
You got your rights for nothing
Mothafuckers wanna live but you're a alive for nothing
Its like it tied to something
Its like if this lighter is running right out of fluid
This music is using fire or something
Its like you're tired of something
Its like a knife has been stuck inside of you
While there is something you lose inside of you
Trust this like I've been fucking ran over the side of a cliff
Now you're in fighting functions
This is going warfare
Why are you looking so scared
I can't never break down
I know that is so rare
Even if I spoke brave
All I need if myself (myself, myself, myself, myself, myself)
(I'm ready for war)
This is going warfare
Why are you looking so scared
I can't never break down
I know that is so rare
Even if I spoke brave
All I need if myself (myself, myself, myself, myself, myself)
(I'm ready for war)
I can never break down
You better stay down
I don't ever wanna change
I don't want the fame now
Someone get the page out
Let me get this rage out
I get lyrics outta ranks and put my flame out
I am ready for warfare
Machetes and swords, yeah
So everybody be ready for enemy soldiers
You step to me "go ahead" you'll be missing "yo head"
Cause I'm the better MC you test me you're dead
And I don't think I've gotta repeat myself
I'm never giving the brag
I'd rather bleed in the cell
I'd rather be defeated by leading a phoenix in jail
The bleeding for me is the singing is to be freezing your hell
And I just want to make songs to digest
I want you to realise my constant progress
This constant nonsense
That clogs the faucets
In everybody's mind's when they thought of process
This is going warfare
Why are you looking so scared
I can't never break down
I know that is so rare
Even if I spoke brave
All I need if myself (myself, myself, myself, myself, myself)
(I'm ready for war)
This is going warfare
Why are you looking so scared
I can't never break down
I know that is so rare
Even if I spoke brave
All I need if myself (myself, myself, myself, myself, myself)
(I'm ready for war)
I can never break down
You better stay down
I don't ever wanna change
I don't want the fame now
Someone get the page out
Let me get this rage out
