Ready for the Pain

Momma say a prayer for me I'm still lookin' for closure
The world was at my fingertips and now it's on my shoulders
Million dollar dream up was used to fuel the motive
Past due on every bill, do I go broke or go sober?

Knowin' damn well I'm fallin' actin' like I'm doin' fine
Paintin' smiles on my face disguisin' what's on my mind
I was one surprise away from goin' through my last dime
I ain't slept good in a month, ain't seen my momma in nine

Leave me alone
I think I'm better off alone
My life is in these songs
Writin' 'bout my wrongs
Will they love me when I'm gone?
Baby, blowin' up my phone

She keep beggin' for my love but
That shits with the coroner
Arguin' so much that my attitudes annoyin' her
'Stead of making up, all I'm all I'm doin' is ignorin' her
She finally had enough when she caught me with a foreigner

And I know I fucked it up and the truth is I ain't over her
Knives in her back right before I stuck a fork in her
Heard she found a new man and he's supportin' her
Instead fighting for her our love song extorted her

Cherish what you love before it becomes a loss
And understand that everything in life comes at a cost
Momma's at the house seein' daddy down the halls
Knowin' damn well he's gone when it's time to stay strong

I hope you're ready for the pain (I hope you're ready for the pain)
I hope you're ready for the hurt (I hope you're ready for the hurt)
I hope you're ready for the ups and downs
'Round and 'round, days when it gets worse

(I know) people gon' change (people gon' change)
Relationships ain't gon' work (it ain't gon' work)
Cherish every minute you have with the ones you love
'Cause once they go in that dirt
I hope you're ready for the pain

I watched my family endure pain, agony
Tragedy had to be a better way set out to find it reminded every time
I see a old couple 'bout my grandpa
Grandmother, every time I see a smile cute booty

Think about my ex love, shoo-be-doo-be, she was good to me
Why I run her off I'll do better by the next I one come across
Lost in lust, no faith no trust, rule one baby girl, there ain't no us
I give the world up, take my granddaddy squirrel huntin' without love

Money don't mean nothing fronting with my happy face
'Cause when I don't momma like, "What's wrong, Jay Son?"
Nothing I'm just busy tryna love y'all
Now 'cause when they put me in the ground

I hope you're ready for the pain (I hope you're ready for the pain)
I hope you're ready for the hurt (I hope you're ready for the hurt)
I hope you're ready for the ups and downs
'Round and 'round, days when it gets worse

(I know) people gon' change (people gon' change)
Relationships ain't gon' work (it ain't gon' work)
Cherish every minute you have with the ones you love
'Cause once they go in that dirt
I hope you're ready for the pain

I hope you're ready for the hurt
