Lyrics Ready - Şevin

Ready

For I hear the whispering of many
Terror on every side
As they scheme murder against me
As they plot to take my life
I trust in you oh Lord
I say You are my God
My times are in Your hand
Rescue me from the hand of my enemies
And from my persecutors
Make Your face shine on Your servant
Save me in Your steadfast love
I just wanna be ready if they aim for me
Yeah
Late night we take flight
What’s a tadpole to a great white?
Fo' the beef we keep a steak knife
Turn concrete to a gravesite
Fo' ya get left
Betta stay right
I’m saved and I got my faith tight
But the serpents out here lurkin'
And I ain’t going out for no snake bite
I slip knot
I’m zip locked
I know what time it is
Wrist watch
I’m in the grimiest of them sick blocks
With a sign that says no pit stops
Where I hang out it’s a hangs noose
Niggas banged out no gang truce
Them killas roll
Them millas blow
I seen Lil Zo with his brains loose
Nigga
And they wonder what I wear this for
Aye
I pray for peace but I’m prepared for war
Life’s like the keys to the whip
You could lose it quick
So a ruger clip on a shooter’s hip
Sometimes could be good stewardship
But they ain’t from this land bro
So they don’t understand though
How camou a vest and extra ammo
Is mando
Huh
I ain’t trying to hurt nobody
Just trying to live my life
And I pray the rest of it’s
A reflection of the risen Christ
I don’t wanna hurt nobody
Just wanna give em life
Protect me when I leave my crib tonight
Aight?
Please don’t count it as a lack of faith nah
If I’m ridin' with this thang on me
Yeah
Cuz I know with you my bag is safe
I just wanna be ready if they aim for me
Yeah
Please don’t count it as a lack of faith
Nah
If I’m riding with this thang on me
Yeah
Cuz I know with you my bag is safe
I just wanna be ready if they aim for me
Yuh
Aye Aye
I witness here on this hot spot
And they get it here when they cop rock
When they pop Glocks at yo mop top
And pull drop tops out the chop shop
Only thing they fear is a cop stop
Especially how they did devilishly
Ya nig Sevin always gonna keep his bible
And a big weapon
Yeah
The streets need prayer
So we declare you should be thee ware
There’s a difference between being scared
And being prepared
They don’t judge them boys in Iraq
When they got they thang
They got the right to defend they life
Is mine not the same?
Yeah
Maybe the side you from is murder free
Well I can’t relate
Cuz in my state they’ve tried to murder me
Boy my faith is known
But I’m where the faithless roam
So I’ll bake the chrome and take ya dome
Boy I’mma make it home
Yeah
Before I play with ya’ll my gun’ll blaze
I got a momma that love me and a son to raise
I ain’t trying to hurt nobody
Just wanna live my life
And I pray the rest of it’s a reflection of the risen Christ
I don’t wanna hurt nobody I wanna give em life
Protect me when I leave my crib tonight
Aight
Please don’t count it as a lack of faith nah
If I’m ridin' with this thang on me
Yeah
Cuz I know with you my bag is safe
I just wanna be ready if they aim for me
Yeah
Please don’t count it as a lack of faith
Nah
If I’m riding with this thang on me
Yeah
Cuz I know with you my bag is safe
I just wanna be ready if they aim for me
Oh Lord let me not be put to shame
For I call upon You
Let the wicked be put to shame
Let them go silently to Sheol
Let their lying lips be mute
Which speak insolently against the righteous
In pride and contempt
Oh how abundant is Your goodness
Which You have stored up for those who fear you
And work for those who take refuge in You
In the sight of the children of mankind
