Artist: Oddisee Album: People Hear What They See Song: Ready to Rock Typed by: jostmatt at bluewin dot ch (w/ help from bandcamp.com) (Yup, we ready to roll) Y'all ready to rock? (Yup, we ready to roll) They say you got your whole life to make your first album Guess I been busy livin, so that first outcome Was worth hearin; so here - it - go Let me kick a verse and just zone out From the time I was conceived I honestly believed I was destined for somethin I couldn't break from It'd be cliche to say greatness, but hey this Is what I learned: what you are you can't escape from So embrace it, don't run away from Bein that digit in that everyday equation That's steady glitchin, itchin for limits to break And nothin can get in your way if what you deliver is great Hm, there we are back to greatness I think I discovered what my place is In theory it's basic It's me doin me, over time, utter rhymes Is a butterfly effect that affect mankind Y'all ready to rock? (Yup, we ready to roll) Took a little bit of time, had to get my mind right, had to get the lines right Lookin at my future like it's all up in my hindsight I ain't planned that, boy, would have been a climb Sat up on my bed thinkin I was on the sideline Eyes wide shut thinking about that bread I believed that, boy, would have been a crime So I took it to the sleep and I dreamed instead Took it as a sign, then I took to the streets Took it from the books, then I took it to the beats Lookin at my grind like a stretch, doin time From the day that I signed to the date of my release Yeah, I'm doin fine, doin fine to say the least But I wanna be the prime representer of a beast I ain't tryin to line with the rest, tryina shine with the best Till the lime just focus on me As it should, if I can then it could, be the case So I ran, over tracks, like I could, beat the race Overlappin who was laughin at the start, they depart Call it perm, I know it burns that I'm relaxin in your face Listen, I am on my job, I set them standards and them rates Live and learn how to discern the need for chill and makin haste Now it's time for everybody in the crowd to up the pace Cause I'm ready to rock, apologize for the wait Y'all ready to rock? (Yup, we ready to roll)
