Lyrics
Said I'm willing and I'm able
I'm ready to place my cards on the table
I've been holding back this feeling for far too long
Now that I'm willing, it's a fact, it's truly mighty strong
Like a child lost in the wilderness
'Til I reach my destination, I won't rest
'Cause I'm willing (willing)
And I'm able (able)
I'm ready to place my cards on the table (table)
There's some kings in my deck, and a queen or two
So you know there ain't nothing
Nothing that I wouldn't do (nothing that I wouldn't do)
It was a long time coming, but now that it's here
All the non-believers better fear me
'Cause I'm willing (willing and able)
And I'm able (shoo-doo-doo)
I got good and plenty cards
To place on the table (table)
I been holding back this feeling for far too long
(Holding back this feeling for far too long)
Now that I'm willing (this feeling) this feeling
It's truly mighty strong (truly, whoo, I, I)
I'm willing (willing)
Able (able)
My vision is all clear, I'm feeling kinda stable
You know I am, you know I am
Ready to whisper (whisper, what you say?)
Ready to shout (shout, now what you say?)
Ready to scream (scream, now what you say?)
Highest mountaintop (what you say, what you say?)
Oh, Lord, I'm willing and able (willing)
I want to dance and sing, somebody watch me do my thing
Oh (willing)
Oh (able)
Oh (willing and able)
Oh (oh, oh, oh)
Oh (willing)
Oh (able)
Oh (willing and able)
Oh
Oh, I want to dance and sing, somebody watch me do my thing
(Dance and sing, let me watch you do your thing)
(Oh, bring it to me)
Oh
Oh
Let me take a bite
To see if you're ripe
I'm kinda thinking about
Taking a hunk, chunk a piece of your love tonight
Well hello, MC T. on a mello, swing low to the tempo
As I flow on a roll here we go, willing and able start the show right
With that type of hype, I lay my cards on the table tonight
Don't take me light, my flow hits you just like a lead pipe
While I'm clockin', you just say 'fess about the boots I'm knockin'
It ain't like that, but somethin' to keep the Jimmy, so get off my back
In fact, you lack the knack step back before I show you how a fool acts, baby
Yeah
