You Ain't Ready

(альбом: Out Of Knowhere - 2003)

Do you throw up (your hands in disgust)?
Will you give up? (say it ain't worth it)
Will you show up (when it's time for the scuffle)?
You ain't knuckle up (then y'all ain't ready)

I learned wisdom is stay out of grown folks biz
It's better to stay silent and let 'em assume you foolish
Than open your mouth and prove it
Your cool don't lose it, it's that one cat Tunnel Rat
Hold up your hands finna go up
[Aerosol the flow up and show up the forest clean up?]
Before I expose the blueprint of my movement
Don't know what you meant, you said you conscious
You out chilling, I'm feeding poor children, man you ain't ready
I'm writing on confetti with Serengeti in my reach
And ancient b-boy priests rain dance to Don beats
Soul found peace way before spun on techniques
Re-evolving per minute, metronome kick in it
The pace ain't easily kept, you can easily step
Into cutting corners, I think it's only fair to warn ya
You think you schooling fools, you better learn, give to earn
The servants shall inherit the earth, man you ain't ready

Do you throw up (your hands in disgust)?
Will you give up? (say it ain't worth it)
Will you show up (when it's time for the scuffle)?
You ain't knuckle up (then y'all ain't ready)

I learned wisdom is lurking deep up in them shadows
To choose wise your battles and strike strategically
Don't think cause I ain't say nothing, I ain't peep that whole [?]
I'm calculating you mistaking meekness for weakness
It take a soldier man to hold a plan for this long
I know failure make you strong, that's how I keep the melody
[?] telling me youngin count the cost, save the lost
This game ain't taking no prisoners, y'all ain't ready
You just plain don't get it, we don't work for our health
Won't buy no studio time, we'll build it ourselves
Ten percent of our wealth goes to help community
Gathering always keeping in mind that youth watch
Been telling y'all for years since LPG Experience
I too am West Covina reminiscing and still miss it
My gift ain't mine, I give it to ya, that's what I know
It's beneath y'all to mop up the floor, man y'all ain't ready

Do you throw up (your hands in disgust)?
Will you give up? (say it ain't worth it)
Will you show up (when it's time for the scuffle)?
You ain't knuckle up (then y'all ain't ready)

I learned wisdom is empty if it ain't applied
Speak to God in the fetal position and listen for the small voice
Left with one choice, that's live more abundant
Though trouble come in hundreds
We all got pain
I'm a Christian, remember being hated is normal
Matter of fact, you tryna trail blaze, prepare for an armful
Of sorrows, it's been a long road
By His grace we made it this far, man y'all ain't ready
[?] time rhyme, all work before his demo
You can keep your limo, I love my two-door
I went from benchwarming to causing a mosh pit
Still exit it scarless, victor regardless
I'm still cleaning toilets, don't trip that's a privilege
I've seen the threat of pride die in me, don't cry true
Simplified, I'm fresh, you not, you suck, I rock
Still worried about blowing up spots? Man y'all ain't ready

Do you throw up (your hands in disgust)?
Will you give up? (say it ain't worth it)
Will you show up (when it's time for the scuffle)?
You ain't knuckle up (then y'all ain't ready)
