letra de ready as i've ever been - jared paul

i swear to mom if i had it all over to do

there’s so many thing i’d handle differently

that’s not different or original it’s not even interesting

it’s the same everything everybody feels but still

i like to dream that i’d stay diligent, committed

and militant, but listen more insistent to wisdom

from those who knew my mission shoulda been bigger

instead of ignoring business, oblivious to the wind i was p-ssin’ in

instead of bitter trippin’ just to hand the bills in

i’d have more time for activism better livin’ and family -ssistance

instead of thousands might have got this word to a couple million

strange famous taught me to fish

but i made the wrong decision every time that the fork split

folks thought my first full length would be more political

but i been through war, my story is a miracle, and this is it

it’s my go!

waited for so long can’t take it anymore

it’s my go!

pipe bomb in my chest, just about to blow

it’s my go!

i’ma set my record straight before i go

i learned to write early, learned to rap late

fell in love with live music couldn’t wait to earn a stage and play;

took longer that i thought, i don’t know what to say

it was everything i dreamed, also worse, naive

the slightest breeze can bring a touring band to its knees

it gets to where focus is less on the art that you bleed

and more just trying to catch what comes apart at the seam

instead of looking deep in the wood to carve out the key

you row to keep your craft from goin’ down in the sea

but that’s life, that’s love, activism, art, family

and anything worth fighting for

the beautiful dark nature of struggle

the gift of sunlight after the plight of the storm

carry the torch, last bat 9th inning;

pipe bomb in my chest, fight the tide

till the pound of my heart clock stop ticking

there’s no summer out here in the days of the war

but the red sox are winning

chorus

life is an air raid, love is a battleship

break the siege and dismantle the castle brick

your slingshot heart is a talisman, keep it

secret up your sleeve like a magic trick

poetry pays my bills, music is investment

shows ‘n protests; battle ready road tested

family is my light, the movement is my life’s work

til’ death and you can put it on my headstone checklist

bet me, weight of the world on my chest

but i don’t bend, i bench press, wear it like a necklace;

buried treasure, earth first bike kid

i don’t give a f-ck about lexus

when there’s women gettin’ less pay for the same time

hate crime, genocide in palestine, drones in the sky

millions doing prison time, it’s a long term fight

as long as i’m alive, i’ma keep my guns in the sky

chorus
