Ready or Not
Yasmeen Lyrics

That's when I look away
I can't bear to look at you for fear of losing you.

Can't stand to think about losing your fine ass
I can't bear the thought of losing you because you're amazing.

How the fuck I let you slip away?
I'm angry with myself for letting you go.

Life of the party, but I'm dead inside
I appear outgoing, but inside I feel empty and lifeless.

Killed my vibes, it was genocide
Something or someone has destroyed my positive energy.

Hard to act like I've been alive
It's difficult for me to pretend to be happy and alive.

I'm tryna find where I identify
I'm trying to figure out who I am and where I belong.

One time for the girl that got away
This song is dedicated to the girl I lost.

Two times for the bub I'm about to spray
I'm getting ready to make a splash in the industry.

Three times for the power that I pray to
I'm calling out to a higher power for strength and guidance.

Are you up there? Can you hear me?
I'm asking if there's someone listening to my prayers.

I know I fucked up it's clear, see
I recognize that I made mistakes that led to the end of the relationship.

I'm 22 but I don't act like it, clearly
Despite my young age, I don't behave in a mature manner.

And all this shit is a mirage
This lifestyle and the things that come with it aren't as real as they seem.

I'm just rapping for a cause
I'm using my music to deliver a message and bring about change.

That life, the fame that lights the game
The fame and success that come with this lifestyle are what motivate me.

We break the laws, don't like to change
I like to do things my way and don't conform to what society deems acceptable.

Want to win you back, but I hate to lose
I want to reconcile with you, but I don't want to appear weak or vulnerable.

I know that you're the one, but it's hard to choose
I recognize that you are the right person for me, but I struggle with making the right decision.

And all these lies they, keep on slippin' out
I keep lying to myself and others, and it's becoming harder to keep up the facade.

I said I don't believe that you just passed out on the couch
I suspect that you're lying about what you did last night.

Cause I've been nothing but good to you (And I ain't done the same girl)
I've treated you well, but you haven't reciprocated.

Your howlin' into the night won't do
Your complaints and excuses won't change the fact that you haven't treated me well.

Look, too much whiskey in my red cup
I'm drinking too much, and it's affecting my life and relationships.

Remember first date you wouldn't give it up
I remember our first date, and how you didn't want to be intimate with me, which made me respect you even more.

We had only scratched the surface
At the beginning of our relationship, we didn't really know each other yet.

But I knew that you were worth it
Despite not knowing much about you, I could tell that you were special and worth pursuing.

Yeah, yeah, so I was patient
I was willing to wait and take things slow with you because I knew you were worth it.

I bragged to my niggas Joe Namath
I talked to my friends about how great you were and how lucky I was to be with you.

I'm still with the niggas that I came with
Despite the changes in my life, I'm still loyal to my friends and haven't forgotten where I came from.

But everything changed once some fame hit
My life and relationships have been impacted by my newfound fame and success.

Make it up, take you down
I'll do whatever it takes to win you back, but I won't let you bring me down.

Have a shot, I bought a round
Let's drink and have a good time, even though things aren't perfect between us.

Play my song, you like the sound
You enjoy my music, and it connects us on a deeper level.

It's going down, it's going down
Things are heating up between us, and we both feel it.

Let's drink coffee, watch passerbys
Let's take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures in life and enjoy each other's company.

And prove to you I'm not the average guy
I want to show you that I'm different from other guys you've been with, and I'm worth another chance.

It's just my flaws that they magnify
My mistakes and imperfections seem to be amplified because of my fame and success.

And when it's real, you don't have to try
If our love is genuine, we shouldn't have to make too much effort to make it work.

I wish there was another way
I wish things between us could be different.

Tomorrow is another day
We have another chance to make things right tomorrow.

Drugs take the pain away
I'm turning to drugs to cope with my emotions and pain.

Sometimes I wanna run away
I feel overwhelmed and want to escape from my problems.

I've been nothing but good to you (And I ain't done the same girl)
I've always treated you well, but you haven't shown me the same kindness.

Your howlin' into the night won't do
Your complaints won't change the fact that you haven't treated me well.
