(Wemakebangerz)
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
But next year'll probably be my best 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 f*ck 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)
