Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep it praying I'm politicking/
I'm binding demons like I'm Biden in the presidential/
Never wanted to be star
but I'm seeing stars/
In the double R
Respecting the Father wit Reverential honor
Keep it ballin like I'm eating at Benihana's/ Hit the throttle/
Only searching for the Father/
Keep me running bravado
Truly spoken the motto
Gentle giant wit power
Yeah
Moment of Honesty
Keep pursuing/ we navigating
I'm hitting corners like I'm selling that activator/

The lyrics of Jr. Cadillac's song "I'm Ready" seem to express a moment of honesty and self-reflection. The singer asserts their commitment to prayer, politics, and spiritual warfare. They mention binding demons like Joe Biden, evoking a metaphorical power struggle. The singer then acknowledges their journey towards personal stardom, seeing stars in the double R (Rolls-Royce), while simultaneously giving respect to God and honoring Him reverentially. They continue by depicting a life of luxury and success, referencing dining at Benihana's and hitting the throttle, symbolizing a desire for progress and accomplishment. The motto they live by is gentle yet powerful, signifying a unique balance of strength and humility.
The second verse reinforces the pursuit of truth and righteousness, navigating through life's challenges while staying true to principles derived from religious texts like the Holy Canon. The singer claims to regulate the haters, hitting them with the red letters (possibly referencing the words of Jesus in the Bible), and assassinating idols like a Tech 9 firearm. They emphasize that their focus is on the highest (God) and the establishment of His kingdom, living as sojourners in truth. They mention Isabella Baumfree, also known as Sojourner Truth, who was an African-American abolitionist and women's rights activist. The lyrics exude confidence, expressing a lack of fear and a commitment to leading from the front. They compare their journey to that of a five-star dinner date at the Renaissance, indicating excellence and elevation. Ultimately, they strive to win souls and continue growing wiser.
In the final verse, the singer emphasizes peace and celebration, throwing parties for the souls they have won. They reference influential pastors like Steven Furtick and Mike Todd, highlighting their dedication and faith amidst challenging circumstances. They mention the Potter's House, a reference to the ministry of Bishop T.D. Jakes. The singer expresses readiness and steadfastness in running the race with the Holy Spirit, spending time serving and nourishing the flock. They have no time for lukewarm Christians and are determined to deliver their message and provide sustenance to the people. The lyrics end with a proclamation of hope in God, recognizing His supremacy over worldly figures like Jay-Z, and emphasizing that Jesus is the trendsetter and savior.
