Born Ready (feat. Planji)

For the homies in the heavens who departed, Looking down like it's alright A day in the life, I gotta be honest I thought that I woulda blown up by now Hit 25 and I thought I'll get signed but I'm still independent and wondering how Maybe I'm wack , maybe I'm trash Maybe I just gotta switch up the sound I gotta add more melody to my cadence so I could go crazy and dance with the crowd Man I'm always on my toes I've been working on the low like I'm digging for some gold I'm on a mission to keep getting better and better and better until I get old When my story's getting told Make sure you say that I left with a legacy Anytime that I'm looking ahead of me All I see is stars cos I'm looking up All the time in the booth I've been cooking up ideas man I'm light years so ahead of my peers and it's quite clear I deserve all the trophies and accolades You ain't seen nothing yet let me activate Got food for thought you better grab a plate Put this energy out let em gravitate Even enemies have to congratulate When I flex What you see is what you get Show me nothing but respect Don't need a check or some verification to prove to myself that I'm one of the greats I don't wanna get caught up in the matrix So I always gotta stick to the basics It's been a long journey to the top This weight up on my back is getting heavy But I ain't never ever gon stop Cos I was born ready I said It's been a long journey to the top This weight up on my back is getting heavy But I ain't never ever gon stop Cos I was born ready Ready Cos I was born ready I said I'm ready I been feeling like I'm walking with the weight of earth tied to my back I should get a tattoo of the map, black men built the west But they wanna make us settle for the south only, few people that I know know me But I know that skill is what I'm born with, blessed with melanin and I'ma own it, black sheep, man I can't sleep (no way) Cuz lately I been feeling paranoid, when I hear a noise I just skrr to the left and avoid, anything that make me wanna get annoyed I'm the best and I think everybody know it, if they don't well I'ma let this verse speak But they won't listen cuz the conversation ain't, talking about, controversy But the first thing I think about is the young, kids dancing to the beat of our drum Father told me that he shot for the starts, so technically I'm just a son of a gun Thinking bout the future, walking in the steps of Martin Luther to the mountain I run Never in a hurry when I think about the journey som'n tell me we just begun, son. It's been a long journey to the top This weight up on my back is getting heavy But I ain't never ever gon stop Cos I was born ready I said It's been a long journey to the top This weight up on my back is getting heavy But I ain't never ever gon stop Cos I was born ready Ready Cos I was born ready I said I'm ready You made me start it, Now I gotta see it through until I got it For the homies in the heavens who departed, Looking down like it's alright You made me start it, Now I gotta see it through until I got it For the homies in the heavens who departed, Looking down like it's alright Cos I was born ready Ready
