[Intro] Walkin' down this rocky road wonderin' where my life is leading Rollin' on to the bitter end I'm finding out along the way what it takes to keep love living You should know how it feels my friend [Hook] Ooh, I want you to stay, ooh, I want you today I'm ready for love, oh baby I'm ready for love I'm ready for love, oh baby I'm ready for love, yeah [Verse 1] It's obvious to see that I'm ahead of my time But I'm taking this rap sh** one step at a time Making sure that I never get ahead of myself The whole purpose of my writing is to better myself And if I don't, then I've let us down I say us because truth be told I'm nothing without y'all Back against the wall but I manage to bounce off I'm reincarnation of Pac and The Outlaws n***as can't f** with me, never that This is for the misfits, where all of my rebels at Nah, I ain't lyin', I got the heart of a lion And the concrete jungle's my natural habitat I could really care less about your favorite rapper Cause' if he's not me, he doesn't really matter But if it's me, then salute to you Cause' real recognize real and you see I'm the truth, wa**up
[Hook] Ooh, I want you to stay, ooh, I want you today I'm ready for love, oh baby I'm ready for love I'm ready for love, oh baby I'm ready for love, yeah [Verse 2] They say good things come to those who wait Well I been on my grind like four years straight Tryina' fight the feelings that I have for Kelsey Marie Trying harder to figure out who I'm destined to be Sometimes I find it hard to believe that I'm 18 High definition my life is in HD Tryina' pay my rent, but my job don't pay me No place to vent like Central AC, so I Just resort to the pad and the pen It's better than being surrounded by fraudulent friends I haven't seen my father since the age of ten I'm starting to feel like an orphan again Like 2Pac Shakur when it rains it pours They got money for war, but can't feed the poor My mother gets scared when I talk like this But just know I'm nothing more than a rebel for the cause, applaud [Hook] Ooh, I want you to stay, ooh, I want you today I'm ready for love, oh baby I'm ready for love I'm ready for love, oh baby I'm ready for love, yeah
