Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you at?
Where you comin' from?
I need to know if
I Can trust
Can I love?
cre you the one?
I need you to show me
cctions speak loudly
and all you do is whisper,
Do you really miss her,
Or are you ready?
To move on to something real
cre you mine or nah
Just tell me how you really feel
Oh
I'm caught in the middle now,
Of your past and my future
When you are not around,
I get the feeling you're with her
No, I can't stay in between,
You need to choose
If you really ready, you say that your ready ...but are you?
What's it like
How's it feel
Do you mean it
To say that you moved on
Deep down, I know
She's your weakness
cnd you cannot stay strong
I just keep faith alive
Hoping that you'll see
That you should just be with me,
You tell me like its easy,
but are you ready...
cre you ready
To be with me
cre you
cre you
cre you ready
Babe
I know its been crazy
cnd I been waiting
For you
cre you ready
The lyrics to T.J. Swann's "Are You Ready" express the confusion of a person who is caught between their feelings for someone and their uncertainty about the other person's readiness to fully commit to a relationship. The singer is seeking reassurance from their significant other about their intentions and feelings, and trying to determine whether they are truly ready to move on from their past and be with them. The questions "Where you been?", "Where you at?", and "Where you comin' from?" indicate a desire for transparency and honesty, and a need for the other person to demonstrate through their actions that they are trustworthy and capable of love. The singer is frustrated by the other person's tendency to speak in whispers instead of taking decisive action and showing their feelings clearly. The repeated question "Are you ready?" serves as both a plea and a challenge, asking the other person to demonstrate their readiness to commit to a real relationship.
The song also explores the conflict between the present and the past. The singer knows that the other person has a history with someone else ("When you are not around, I get the feeling you're with her"), and fears being stuck in the middle of their past and future. The reference to the other person's weakness suggests that they may still have unresolved feelings for their ex. However, the singer refuses to stay in this limbo and demands that the other person make a choice. The repeated repetition of "Are you ready" stresses the importance of this decision and the need for the other person to be honest and committed.

I need to know if
I need to know whether
I Can trust
I can have faith in you
Can I love?
Can I fall in love with you?
Are you the one?
Are you the right person for me?
I need you to show me
I need you to prove to me
What you're made of
What kind of person you truly are
Actions speak loudly
One's actions are more telling than their words
and all you do is whisper,
You hardly ever take any real action
Do you really miss her,
Do you still have feelings for your ex?
Or are you ready?
Are you truly ready to move on?
To move on to something real
To move on from the past towards a genuine relationship
Are you mine or nah
Do you belong to me or not?
Just tell me how you really feel
Don't hide your true emotions from me
I'm caught in the middle now,
I'm stuck between two choices
Of your past and my future
Between your past and our potential future together
When you are not around,
When I don't see you around me
I get the feeling you're with her
I have a feeling you're still with your ex
No, I can't stay in between,
I can't remain neutral anymore
You need to choose
You have to make a decision
If you really ready, you say that your ready ...but are you?
If you're really ready, you should prove it
What's it like
How's it going in your life?
How's it feel
How do you feel inside?
Do you mean it
Are you being sincere with me?
To say that you moved on
To insist that you've moved on from the past
Deep down, I know
I have a strong feeling
She's your weakness
You still have feelings for your ex
And you cannot stay strong
You can't resist the temptation of your past
I just keep faith alive
I still have hope
Hoping that you'll see
Wishing that you'll realize
That you should just be with me,
That we should be together
You tell me like its easy,
You make it seem simple
but are you ready...
But are you truly ready?
Are you ready
Are you truly prepared?
To be with me
To enter a real relationship with me
Are you
Are you ready?
Babe
Darling
I know its been crazy
I know that things have been chaotic
And I been waiting
And I've been patiently waiting for you
For you
For you to prove yourself

I remember when I first heard this joint. I heard it at small record shop at the 42nd street train station on the A train. The store owner said, I gonna play a new rap record that nobody ever heard yet. When he played it, me and crew went nuts. I bought it and I still have that same record to this day.

This cut hit Philly around March/April of 1981. "I'll blow your mind....like nitro glycerin" This song got mad love in uptown clubs.

A Monster like "Get Fly". This dude was great, talented to the brim. Why he never released a record, only 12inches is beyond my understanding.
@mrpower328
holy shit, thats it. Word that store was there a long time. I got a few records from them to, and I still got them to this day. I guess I got a piece of history.
