Why ringtone on your mobile phone

I'm reminiscing like JOE, staring at faded pictures 

Through Satan's tempting and death

Back resurrected as the greatest victor 

Throughout my travels sampled great elixirs

Liquor's and weed 

Feel like I'm bleeding, need a way to fix this 

Pain that I feed 

I told'em “Go head I ain't coming”

Bed being Co – Ed stop being fun 

And I can't even sleep 

Stress running my mind 

Got diamonds but don't none of em' shine 

My heart is heavy

Every problem weigh a ton at a time 

Stay isolated cause' I'm one of a kind

Fake homies claiming that they got my back

But every one of em' lying 

My label jerking me forever jacking 

But like Jeremiah this fire got in my bones 

Now I'm forever rapping 

I took the bitter with the sweet

Never quitters we keep 

Teaching like ghetto Messiah's to deliver the streets 

Became a son of God as soon as I admitted I'm weak 

And gave back what was given to me

I don't understand why


CHORUS 

I don't know why 

You gotta lie 

Think I'm gon' try 

Take your piece of the pie


Scheme and you cheat 

Cheat and you lie

I don't understand why they keep playing with me

I don't know why 

You gotta lie 

Think I'm gon' try 

Take your piece of the pie

Scheme and you cheat 

Cheat and you lie

I'm a grown man now quit playing with me


No y'all ain't ready for it 

I don't think they ready for it

Really y'all ain't ready for it 

I don't think they ready for it

Y'all think y'all ready for it 

I don't think they ready for it

Who think they ready for it? 

I don't think they ready


This hip-hop, rock, soul 

Is all we do around here 

I spit a lot

Practicing flowing while I'm doing my hair 

From Little Rock

Some of em' said I wasn't going nowhere 

But I had confidence these poems I share'd be embraced by many 

Said “you way too skinny”

Nobody gave me anything

Be singing at my job while I slave for pennies 

I love emceeing

Love to be in the studio locked

Haters that knocked gon' see me rocking at coliseums 

I used to cry watching these video shows

Pitiful

Artist with silly flows

They gotta be kidding 

Yo, why we dope and got it hard like this? 

I don't understand it my band is making all these hits 

And I feel abandoned by labels cause' they all insist 

I should straighten my hair to hit it 

I'm real but they don't get it 

Every mic I lit it 

For fans I stay committed 

Want me solo forget it 

We make a dollar we split it

Tell me why


CHORUS


None of y'all ain't ready for it 

I don't think they ready for it

No y'all ain't ready for it 

I don't think they ready for it

Y'all think y'all ready for it 

I don't think they ready for it

But y'all ain't ready for it 

I don't think they ready


BRIDGE

I'm gon' stay ready 

I'ma stay ready (repeat till the end)


Ready for whatever 

Ready for whoever 

You ain't gon' never catch us slipping 

This is Hiprocksoul 

It don't matter what they say 

Tena Jones gon' be ready 

We all gon' be ready 

4th Avenue gon' stay ready 

We gon' be ready 

We gon' stay ready 

We been putting it down for so long

I'm ready

I've been ready all my life 

I've been ready all my life

So every thing will be all right
