Mahalia: Ready

You thought I was finished, you thought time was up
Secretly I did too
Two years I been missing, left you with an album
Now look at this I made two
Tryna stay stable is hard when I’m tryna keep my place at the table, yeah
No matter how I’m feeling, gotta take a minute to celebrate my winnings,

yeah
Yeah yeah

From now on I know I can take what comes my way
And nobody can take that from me
I’m listening to my own voice only, only oh
Over time people gonna try come and take my place
But nobody can take that from me
Cos I give you the music your soul needs

oh yeah, ooo
Huh, rock it rock it rock it you
Cannot stop it stop it yeah
Rock it rock it rock it you
Cannot stop it

Huh, Ready

Take your time, you never know
You put in work, you gon’ see it grow
There’s gon’ be highs, there’s gon’ be lows
But it all makes sense when you see the show
What you feel inside, give it to the world
And when they take you in, ain’t a better feeling no
Forget the guys who don’t make you feel at home
They think they’re high, but what they really doing though?

Running out of pages, I’m running out of pages
Radha telling me to go harder
I’m giving it for real no cut corners
I’m running out of space yes, I’m running out of space
Similar to my mother and father
I wrote this with the help of my lover

I know the feeling, you gotta read it
You gotta see it to believe it
Believe you’re achieving, what you been reaching for
You’re not defeated by your demons
I know the feeling, you gotta read it
You gotta see it to believe it
Believe you’re achieving, what you been reaching for
You’re not defeated by your demons

(Rock it, rock it, rock it, oh
Cannot stop it, stop it now
Rock it, rock it, rock it, oh
Cannot stop it, stop it now
Rock it, rock it, rock it, oh
Cannot stop it, stop it now)
Rock it, rock it, rock it, oh
Cannot stop it
Yeah, ready
