Ready - Şevin

For I hear the whispering of many

Terror on every side

As they scheme murder against me

As they plot to take my life

I trust in you oh Lord

I say You are my God

My times are in Your hand

Rescue me from the hand of my enemies

And from my persecutors

Make Your face shine on Your servant

Save me in Your steadfast love

I just wanna be ready if they aim for me

Yeah

Late night we take flight

What’s a tadpole to a great white?

Fo' the beef we keep a steak knife

Turn concrete to a gravesite

Fo' ya get left

Betta stay right

I’m saved and I got my faith tight

But the serpents out here lurkin'

And I ain’t going out for no snake bite

I slip knot

I’m zip locked

I know what time it is

Wrist watch

I’m in the grimiest of them sick blocks

With a sign that says no pit stops

Where I hang out it’s a hangs noose

Niggas banged out no gang truce

Them killas roll

Them millas blow

I seen Lil Zo with his brains loose

Nigga

And they wonder what I wear this for

Aye

I pray for peace but I’m prepared for war

Life’s like the keys to the whip

You could lose it quick

So a ruger clip on a shooter’s hip

Sometimes could be good stewardship

But they ain’t from this land bro

So they don’t understand though

How camou a vest and extra ammo

Is mando

Huh

I ain’t trying to hurt nobody

Just trying to live my life

And I pray the rest of it’s

A reflection of the risen Christ

I don’t wanna hurt nobody

Just wanna give em life

Protect me when I leave my crib tonight

Aight?

Please don’t count it as a lack of faith nah

If I’m ridin' with this thang on me

Yeah

Cuz I know with you my bag is safe

I just wanna be ready if they aim for me

Yeah

Please don’t count it as a lack of faith

Nah

If I’m riding with this thang on me

Yeah

Cuz I know with you my bag is safe

I just wanna be ready if they aim for me

Yuh

Aye Aye

I witness here on this hot spot

And they get it here when they cop rock

When they pop Glocks at yo mop top

And pull drop tops out the chop shop

Only thing they fear is a cop stop

Especially how they did devilishly

Ya nig Sevin always gonna keep his bible

And a big weapon

Yeah

The streets need prayer

So we declare you should be thee ware

There’s a difference between being scared

And being prepared

They don’t judge them boys in Iraq

When they got they thang

They got the right to defend they life

Is mine not the same?

Yeah

Maybe the side you from is murder free

Well I can’t relate

Cuz in my state they’ve tried to murder me

Boy my faith is known

But I’m where the faithless roam

So I’ll bake the chrome and take ya dome

Boy I’mma make it home

Yeah

Before I play with ya’ll my gun’ll blaze

I got a momma that love me and a son to raise

I ain’t trying to hurt nobody

Just wanna live my life

And I pray the rest of it’s a reflection of the risen Christ

I don’t wanna hurt nobody I wanna give em life

Protect me when I leave my crib tonight

Aight

Please don’t count it as a lack of faith nah

If I’m ridin' with this thang on me

Yeah

Cuz I know with you my bag is safe

I just wanna be ready if they aim for me

Yeah

Please don’t count it as a lack of faith

Nah

If I’m riding with this thang on me

Yeah

Cuz I know with you my bag is safe

I just wanna be ready if they aim for me

Oh Lord let me not be put to shame

For I call upon You

Let the wicked be put to shame

Let them go silently to Sheol

Let their lying lips be mute

Which speak insolently against the righteous

In pride and contempt

Oh how abundant is Your goodness

Which You have stored up for those who fear you

And work for those who take refuge in You

In the sight of the children of mankind
