I'm Ready
Kaysha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

These rhimez ready, the peeps waiting for the ding dong
Punch like King kong, I′m Felix Savon
Technique, unique, specificity of Cuba
Everybody know me from here to Costa Rica
What I'm representin′ is a pocket full of rhimes
So I shine all times, I'm a dollar, you a dime
That's fine, smiled got stabbed from behind
U swinces, mad cuz I still get mines

Put those Nike on sunday, please crowds like Wemblay
Crush emcees and I smile like sunny days
I got honeys sayin′ ouh yeah, we wanna party
Winter or summer days, I got it anyway

Everytime, you want a rhime, you know I′m ready

All the peeps wanna play but who's gonna pay
For the party, uh uh, not me
Get in the swimming pool, and get loose like fools
Imma check 2, the hooney boos you make the BBQ
Not a criminal, I′m respectable, delicious
Marvelous, sexable, my style's based on syllables
Numero uno, my crew that′s uno
Chico, ill crew universal, you know
Playing big willies but never been to West Indies
In fact you tinnies, with a small penis
You took a sample, loop it on track, with no
Work on it, rap on it, get Gs on it
I feel no pleasure when I hit u with the bullet
Satisfaction comes when you perish with the rhime set
Kill by the gun then u die by the gun
Soon or later, I'll die by the Rhime

Everytime, you want a rhime, you know I′m ready
