I Wanna Be Ready Lyrics by Vic Mensa ft. Mansa Musa Mensa
Mansa musa mensa
I wanna be ready for bringing a beautiful child in this horrible world
I sat with my ear on her stomach and wondered if you were a boy or a girl
You never asked to be
I know my days are few
In this fight to make cassius clay, I thought about all in naming you
What i do in my work as a parent
Is to show you the worth you inherit
So you know who you are
And know you a God
These devils at work on your spirit
You were born into a war zone
They killing for Jordan sneaks
I’m setting your GPS only highways
You gonna be avoiding the streets
So much pain on this side like torn obliques
Mothers with tears that pour on their cheeks
The streets is playing these boys for keeps
We live inside story of jonah
We must survive the belly of the beast
I devised a better younger me
To be everything I could never be
I just want to be
I want to be ready
I know that you’re ready
Cause God wouldn’t give you a challenge
That you couldn’t handle
I come from the source of creation
I’m a manifestation a channel,
A reincarnation of ancestors
From the plantation to the pyramids
We had to survive in America
Way before Gil Scott died of ***
The reason my birth is imperative
Though me we reworking the narrative
Baby Jesus was really a vessel
And Mary was merely a surrogate
I deserve to experience joy
I deserve to experience pain
My destiny is to carry the torch
Like an olympian bearing the flame
Hot flash feeling my momma in terrible pain
Seeing the doctors hearing the screams
Heavens are opening tears of rain
We in the flood the story of Noah
Out of the mud humanity is saved
I can feel immortality and change
To continue the family in name
When I’m older it’ll be my world
I’m a star so I got to shine
I will never let a child starve
Or bombs drop on Palestine
Time stop when the clock stars
it was 5 minutes past 9
I arrived now it’s my time
More specifically it’s God’s time, God’s time
