Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ready for it, yeah
I'm ready for it
Yeah, ah
[Verse 2]
Eastside **** with the feets high
**** with that Lisa, uh
Talking 'bout that Lisa, ****, with that Westside, ****
With that Eastside, that dance, uh
[Verse 3]
Your eyes speak the truth when everything else lies
They pretend that we kin but the vibes don't fly
Bruh, I survived readin' guys like you
I'm surprised y'all think you can diguise y'all truths
I seen eyes wide as they're about to shoot
You can be a hairpin off and you can trigger your roots
I wave to these haters, don't give me dap
You know the world can see just how phony you act, bruh
Y'all body language is on remedial
How could you see the difference between you and I?
My crash course was much tougher
'Round friends who kill they friends
Then hug they friends' mother
And show up at the funeral, complete with blank stares
Invisible ink, I had to read things that wasn't there
Memories may sneak down my cheek
But I could see a side-eye in my sleep
[Verse 4]
Ready for it, deep breath, fill up the void (Uh)
Eyes, open them up, check off the coins
Still stingin' from tears, they try to see you
I'm ready for earth, ready for real
Solipsistic, admit it, I see you there
So it seems, so you seem (Uh-huh)
I can't tell if you're image or are just the flare
In my dreams, in my dreams (Yeah)
[Verse 5]
Uh, I sat down with Prince, eye to eye
He told me his wishes before he died
Now, Londell McMillan, he must be color blind
They only see green from them purple eyes
They eyes hide, they eyes high
My eyes wide shut to all the lies
These industry ****, they always been fishy
But ain't no Biggie, no lazy eye, huh
This guy had 'Slave' on his face
You think he wanted the masters with his masters?
You greedy bastards sold tickets to walk through his house
I'm surprised you ain't auction off the casket
Don't 'big bro' me, don't 'big homie'
I seen pure admiration become rivals
I've been to Paris at least two times
I've seen the Eiffel, I've seen a eyeful
[Verse 6]
Ready for it, deep breath, fill up the void
Eyes, open them up, check off the coins
Still stingin' from tears, they try to see you
I'm ready for earth, ready for real
Solipsistic, admit it, I see you there
So it seems, so you seem
I can't tell if you're image or are just the flare
In my dreams, in my dreams
[Verse 7]
Hoping I can touch what I feel
I've been ready for this, for real
Hoping I can touch what I feel
'Cause I've been ready for you, for real
[Verse 8]
(Look, you've done enough)
(Have you no sense of decency, sir?)
(At long last, have you left no sense of decency?)
[Verse 9]
Eastside **** with the feets high
**** with that Lisa, uh
Talking 'bout that Lisa, ****, with that Westside, ****
With that Eastside, uh
