Ready to Go
KING SOL feat. Giuliana Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been seeing signs
Now I know my place
Read between the lines
Reached to outer space

But I now I know, but now I know

1, 2, 3, I'm ready to go
I'm ready to go
1, 2, 3, I'm ready to go
I'm ready to go

(Cue me in, let's go, uh)
Switch it up, they say stop making those sad songs
But I'm mad gone, cause I'm never gonna conform to mainstream values that's wrong
Uh, and I think it's crazy what I've done here on this platform
I'm out here like el niño I been the cream of the crop I'm that storm

And all I set to do was break the records like Usain Bolt
Join the cult, I'm in a speedy tuxedo looking muy bonito and feeling 32 Volts (uh)
They don't even know, when I'm touching down with the colts, brave like Smoltz
San Jose I'm at Avaya now I'm scoring as the earthquake jolts

I don't expect anyone to get that reference, it's your preference, but if you do then that's dope
I'm bout to walk through the smoke, sure hope that nobody chokes




This is my version of whoa-ing and whoa-ing and whoa-ing until I am ready to go
I wanna change how they see me but not change the person inside that I already know, uh

Overall Meaning

In "Ready to Go," KING SOL and Giuliana Lee convey a sense of self-awareness and readiness to move forward with confidence. The opening lines of "I been seeing signs / Now I know my place" suggest that the singer has been paying attention to the world around them and has gained a better understanding of their own identity and purpose. This newfound knowledge has enabled them to "read between the lines" and transcend traditional boundaries by "reaching outer space."


The repeated lyrics of "1, 2, 3, I'm ready to go" reinforce the idea of readiness and emphasize the singer's confidence in their ability to move forward. The following verse from KING SOL suggests that part of this confidence comes from a willingness to defy expectations and resist pressures to conform to mainstream values. KING SOL instead chooses to embrace their uniqueness, comparing themselves to a storm and likening their journey to breaking records like Usain Bolt.


The final lines of the song acknowledge the desire to change and evolve, without sacrificing the core of one's identity. The singer wants to be seen differently, but not at the cost of losing touch with their true self. Ultimately, "Ready to Go" is a testament to the power of self-knowledge and confidence in embracing one's own path.
