When You're Ready

[Intro] You were born to fly When you're not so shy When you're ready [Verse 1: Add-2] Looking at my arms tryna find my wings see I hum the same song that the caged bird sings Holding onto dreams I don't sleep at night Sitting in the dark when you need that light While you wishing on a star I'm asking would you want to be one? Living in the city where it's so hard to see one Staring at the [?] ain't a place to put a t on Make a star track now everybody wanna cling on Nigga what you be on? Remind myself Inside a mirror tryna find myself, stomach in knots I untie myself, were you blind by wealth? Who you owe when you by yourself? Let it sink Back drinking, told my mama that I quit though But shit, when shit's broke is when you looking for a fix though Drinking out the bottle like my answer's at the bottom Ain't it funny how it's empty and you hollow? That's when you know that you got a problem Knowing you gotta solve them and knowing you got friends But knowing you never call them Falling like Donnie play a song for you Feeling weak, but I'm tryna be strong for you Cause you need me If you see me break down just know that it ain't easy If big Ma could see me shed probly say it'll be ok She probly say it'll be ok [Hook: Heather Victoria] When you're ready I'll be right here waiting for you If you need me let me know and I'll come I'll be right here waiting for you If you need me let me know and I'll come [Verse 2: Add-2] Visiting my pop's crib he asked how I'm living I said in staying on my job and he told me that he lost his He said it with a smile tryna soften it Him and mama arguing, I'm often getting caught in it Praying that they stay together Cause when you see it rain you wanna change the weather Tryna make a way when you can make it better A house is not a home, address change like Cinderella Listening to Ella sing married to the game, exchanged wedding rings and Life a bitch, she divorce and take everything Life leave you with more questions and less answers They told me Brad got cancer, I tell him fight it I know he trying, knowing he lying saying he feelin' fine It took his legs and I was crying so the day when he died I locked myself inside my room for a couple days and sat Just wondering where God at? Since you been gone I listen to Steve Wonder I never dreamed that you'd leave in summer It's hard to face fears in it, sometimes it's harder to face mirrors When you tryna find strength to tell his wife and kids I'm sorry for your loss, it doesn't wipe away the tears I wanna ask the man upstairs If any of my prayers make it up to your ears [Hook: Heather Victoria] When you're ready I'll be right here waiting for you If you need me let me know and I'll come I'll be right here waiting for you If you need me let me know and I'll come
