Ready or Not


Hey, what do I have to say I only had a dime and a nickel to my name I crave the high life, as far as the eyes can see And when I make it, aint nobody will mess with me Hey, I'm gonna do big things Never stop, never drop, never sink Hey, I'm on a mission to be number one And on the way I'm gonna enjoy it and have some fun Passion and success coarsing through my veins Work so long I'm starting to think that I'm insane I have to continue to keep building and perfect my craft And have faith that God will guide me in the right path Never stop for my ambition to be the very best And for that goal I have to grind and beat out all the rest Unpredictable like the forecast for next year's weather While your sleeping, I'm in the lab plotting how to get better The stars are my ceiling, the sky is my floor Don't worry I'll make sure that y'all will all see me more When you had you're back turned, I beat your high score So you better see it coming when I burst through the door ...................................................................................................... Never give down I am never gonna stop I'm gonna bust through the door Are you ready or not I got my mind on the money And the money on my mind Doing big things every single time Hey, I'm gonna do big things Never stop, never drop, never sink Mind on the money Money is on my mind And I'm gonna do big things every single time. .......................................................................................................... Passion flows through my blood, and there's fire in my genes I will never settle for less, there is no in-between I'll always remember the people who wanted to doubt me One day I'll make sure that all of y'all will see The glow up will force your whole body to convulse Because failure to me is like a body without a pulse I wasn't a confident man, I was never a popular guy Many days I would question to myself, should I even try But now as I grow older it's easier for me to see And now everything is starting to make more sense too me My potential is infinite, it reaches pass the stars And it's not just about obtaining the girls, jewels, and cars My goal is to build my brand till it reaches the very top And no entity weaker than God will force me to stop I'm gonna bend my knees, and work until I drop So when I bust through the door, will you be ready or not. ...................................................................................................... Never give down I am never gonna stop I'm gonna bust through the door Are you ready or not I got my mind on the money And the money on my mind Doing big things every single time Hey, I'm gonna do big things Never stop, never drop, never sink My mind is on the money And the money is on my mind And I'm gonna do big things every single time .................................................................................................. I know this is my moment, this is my time You won't see it coming, I'm like Ali in his prime I'll bleed for these opportunities to follow my way It's how I was brought up, since I was born in late May If I fail at my goals, then I'm going down swinging My explosion to the top will have your ears ringing My passion to my craft is never going to sink I have my contract to success signed in permanent ink As I continue to grow, my brain gets more lethal My vision for success gets as perfect as an eagle For all the people out there trying to achieve their dreams Your reality for success isn't as far away as it seems So ignore all the negative energy, and kill all the noise Be like Brady in the pocket, and make the pass with poise Make sure to work hard and enjoy life, don't ever stop And bust down the door and scream out, "Are you ready or not?" ............................................................................................................ Never give down I am never gonna stop I'm gonna bust through the door Are you ready or not I got my mind on the money And the money on my mind Doing big things every single time Hey, I'm gonna do big things Never stop, never drop, never sink My mind is on the money And the money is on my mind And I'm gonna do big things every single time
