Yeah
(Jbflyboi, OhhhBabyeee)
Get here
Had to walk a whole lot of miles to get here
It's safe to say that I'ma take the cake for this year
I would say try again next year
It took a whole lot of blood and sweat, tears
I don't owe anybody anything, get that clear
A lot of sleepless nights and a whole lot of grindin'
Was gon' say it took forever, but this perfect timin'
You should have seen me back in high school, they had some shit to say
Thought they was the shit 'cause they had shift jobs at Chick-fil-A
I was thinkin' R-A-P, they was thinkin' GPA
Lot of 'em went to college and they got a job at the bank
Now when I pull up brand new Rolls trucks, you should see they face
I know she seen my account, that shit'll make a hater faint
This shit will make a hater think
He had his goals right in his face, he saw the dreams and did the race
All it took was a bit of faith
Gotta thank God for this one
Gave me heart and wisdom
Helped me dodge the grave, helped me dodge the system
So many homies in the cage I watched fall to victim
Too many homies in the cage I watched fall to victim
I'm thankful for my fans, this rappin' shit changed my life
I'm thankful for my team for keepin' a nigga right
Thankful for the promoters, I open up on the mics
Now I'm singin' for you three months back to back, I sell out every night
Labels used to look past me, now they tryin' to remake me
Grab a fat nigga out the trenches and replace me
Tryna duplicate me, can't be
This always been my dream
I always heard this voice in the back of my head sing
Oh, you better be ready for it
You better be ready
(Independent kid, I've been chasin' my dream
I dreamed this on my desk back in middle school)
(Be ready for it, be ready, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, no lie, I swear
On my desk back in middle school)
You better be ready for it
I hope you ready for it
Oh, you better be ready for it
If I stay ready, I ain't gotta get ready
I ain't gotta get ready 'cause I was already ready
I was standin' by the corner store beggin'
Now the nigga I used to be askin' for a dollar from jealous
I never thought I'd fall off with my nigga and it's hurtin'
We dreamed of this when we was stealin' cars and snatchin' purses
My brother told me, "Stop tryin' to save everybody"
God wanted to bless me, but I had fuck niggas 'round me
But then they say grind turn to shine, I grinded
And everything I ever did, I did it for the projects
Invent some fraud money in my crowd
All night flights on the slab with Lil' Rab
Been rollin' with the punches for so long I called a jab
Sittin' at the table with no money for the tab
I was wishin' for the stars, I'm a demon in the Wraith
One day you gon' wake up with your dreams in your face
And you gon' been done did everything they said you can't
The only way they beat you, nigga, if you catch a case
(Oh, you better be ready for it)
Congratulations, young nigga you did it, you gotta
(You better be ready)
Independent kid, I've been chasin' my dream
I dreamed this on my desk back in middle school
You pressure, young nigga
(Be ready for it, be ready, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, I ain't gon' lie, I swear
I'm proud of you
On my desk back in middle school
(You better be ready for it)
I hope you ready for it
That's all I ever wanted my people to say, they proud of me
(You better be ready for it )
Your time comin'
Congratulations, young nigga, you did it
Your time comin', youngin, I hope you ready for it
Independent kid, I've been chasin' my dream
I dreamed this on my desk back in middle school
If nobody proud of you I am, I'm is
(Be ready for it, be ready, yeah, yeah)
(You better be ready) I hope you ready for it
Pop your shit, young nigga
I hope you ready for it
I dreamed this on my desk back in middle school
Keepin' steppin' how you steppin', fam
(Be ready for it, oh, no, no)
Congratulations, young nigga, you did it
(You better be ready, oh, better be ready for it)
I ain't gon' lie
I already knew
I already knew I'd be great, you know what I'm sayin'?
(You better be ready for it, mm-mm, oh, yes)
You better be ready, oh, oh, oh)

Get here
I've made it to the top after a long journey and now it's my time to shine
Had to walk a whole lot of miles to get here
I've faced many challenges and put in the hard work to reach my goals
It's safe to say that I'ma take the cake for this year
I'm confident that I'm going to be the best this year

Others should just give up and wait for me to take the lead again next year
But next year'll probably be my best year
I'm always striving for more and expecting even greater success next year
It took a whole lot of blood and sweat, tears
I put in a lot of hard work and dedication to achieve my success
I don't owe anybody anything, get that clear
I did it all on my own and don't owe anyone for my success
A lot of sleepless nights and a whole lot of grindin'
I sacrificed a lot and worked extremely hard to achieve my goals
Was gon' say it took forever, but this perfect timin'
It may have taken a while, but it was worth the wait for this perfect moment
Lot of 'em went to college and they got a job at the bank
Many of the people who once doubted me ended up in regular jobs and not achieving their dreams
Now when I pull up brand new Rolls trucks, you should see they face
Now that I've made it, those who doubted me before are left in shock and jealousy
I know she seen my account, that shit'll make a hater faint
People who once doubted me are now stunned by my success and financial stability

My success forces people to reconsider their past dismissals of me
Gotta thank God for this one

Gave me heart and wisdom
God gave me the strength and knowledge to persevere and achieve success
Helped me dodge the grave, helped me dodge the system

Labels used to look past me, now they tryin' to remake me
I used to be overlooked by labels, but now they're trying to replicate my success
Grab a fat nigga out the trenches and replace me
Labels are trying to find someone to replace me, but they can't find anyone as good as me
This always been my dream
I've always had the dream of achieving success and making it big
I always heard this voice in the back of my head sing
I've always had a voice inside me pushing me towards my dreams
Oh, you better be ready for it
I knew all along that I was going to make it and now it's time for others to prepare for my success

I ain't gotta get ready 'cause I was already ready
I'm always ready for whatever comes because I've prepared myself in advance
I never thought I'd fall off with my nigga and it's hurtin'
Losing a close friend has been painful and unexpected for me
We dreamed of this when we was stealin' cars and snatchin' purses
Even in the rough times, I always had the dream of achieving success with my friends
My brother told me, "Stop tryin' to save everybody"
I've realized that I can't help everyone and sometimes need to focus on myself
But then they say grind turn to shine, I grinded
My hard work and dedication paid off and led to my success
I did it for the projects
I worked hard to give back to my community and show that success is possible no matter where you come from
I was wishin' for the stars, I'm a demon in the Wraith
I never stopped dreaming and now I'm living the high life
One day you gon' wake up with your dreams in your face
One day, you'll wake up and realize that your dreams have come true
And you gon' been done did everything they said you can't
Despite doubt and criticism from others, you'll achieve success anyway
The only way they beat you, nigga, if you catch a case
The only way others can bring you down is if they get you in legal trouble
Congratulations, young nigga you did it, you gotta
I've achieved my dreams and now it's time to celebrate
If nobody proud of you I am, I'm is
Even if no one else is proud of my success, I'm proud of myself
Pop your shit, young nigga
Celebrate your success and talk about it proudly
Keepin' steppin' how you steppin', fam
Keep up the good work and continue achieving success
Your time comin', youngin, I hope you ready for it
Success is coming for you, be prepared for it
