Ready
Frank Ocean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know i've been Gone
I Know It's been so Long
And girl i hope you missed me
Cause you know I been missing you Baby
(Been Missing My Baby)
And we talk on the phone Everyday
But That just don't do it for me
I need you around yea
I Can't do without You
Shawty my plane just now touched Down
Imma send a Car to come get you from your house
So be ready in an Hour
Just Be Ready

We Only got one night
The Suns Gone be setting in a while
(Be Ready, Be Ready)
We've still got moonlight
I'm down for whatever right now
(Be Ready, Be Ready)
ohh and the Sky starts
The Sky Starts Changing
Sweet Love, We'll be Making
Oh Just Tell Me
(You're Ready, You're Ready)

Verse 2

Open up the door, Girl you got me throwed (oh)
Cause Baby when you Kiss Me, do you feel my heart beatin? (oh)
Look into your eyes pretty Hazel Brown
If you only knew what i'm thinkin about
Girl i'm Right Here
And im Still Here??



Shawty My plane leaves at 9am tomorrow
But between now and then we ain't apart

We Only got one night
The Suns Gone be setting in a while
(Be Ready, Be Ready)
We've still got moonlight
I'm down for whatever right now
(Be Ready, Be Ready)
ohh and the Sky starts
The Sky Starts Changing
Sweet Love, We'll be Making
Oh Just Tell Me
(You're Ready, You're Ready)

Oh i know you been Patient
Waiting for this moment
Right Here, Right Now
Hoo Hoo

We Only got one night
The Suns Gone be setting in a while
(Be Ready, Be Ready)
We've still got moonlight
I'm down for whatever right now
(Be Ready, Be Ready)
ohh and the Sky starts
The Sky Starts Changing
Sweet Love, We'll be Making
Oh Just Tell Me
(You're Ready, You're Ready)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Frank Ocean's song "Ready" are a love song about missing someone and finally being reunited with them. The first verse sets the scene, where the singer has been gone for a long time and is finally returning home to his partner. He pleads to her to be ready for him in an hour's time, as they only have one night together before he leaves again. The urgency and desire in his voice are clear in the repeated refrain of "Be ready, be ready." The second verse describes the intensity of their passion, and the bridge reinforces the message that they only have one night together so they need to make the most of it.


On one level, the lyrics are straightforward and romantic, but Frank Ocean is known for his lyrics' subtlety and complexity. The line "look into your eyes pretty Hazel Brown, if you only knew what i'm thinkin about" suggests that there are things going on behind the scenes that the listener is not privy to. The bridge's repetition of "we got one" could be interpreted as an acknowledgement that they only have one night together but could also have other meanings. The song's title, "Ready," could relate not only to being ready for the singer's arrival but also ready for something more significant or ready for the intensity of their love.


Overall, Frank Ocean's "Ready" is a beautiful and atmospheric song that captures the excitement and enthusiasm of a reunion.

I hate that they scrubbed a lot of the lonny breax tape off the internet . I use to listen to this in 10th grade , I’m 26 and adulting is pretty shitty .
