Ready & Waiting
Now here's a story about a boy I know
With the dreadlock hair
Oh he went muggin' down the street with the gun in the air
Like he didn't care
He used to kick it with the boys I knew
He went rollin' on a spin
Left his mama while she weeped in the rocking chair
Oh yeah
Long, long time alone
He was a runner had the strongest mind he wrote in journal
In the club was a man he grew to know
Spend a long, long time alone
Became a gunner for the longest ride he broke every hurdle
And the record this man was never meant to hold
Oom-bop-oom-bop-oom-bada (I'm ready, ready and waiting)
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah
Oom-bop-oom-bop-oom-bada (I'm ready, ready and waiting)
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah
Oom-bop-oom-bop-oom-bada (I'm ready, ready and waiting)
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah
Oom-bop-oom-bop-oom-bada (I'm ready, ready and waiting)
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah
On you
Now let me close my eyes (on you)
And let me wipe my tears (on you)
Don't let me say goodbye (on you)
Don't let me close my eyes
Here's a story of a boy I know
With the afro hair
Oh, he went mobbin' down the street middle finger in the air
'Cause he didn't care
Picked up a brick and told the boys, "I hold
Revolution in my hand"
Became a shepherd of his sheep then his pot gets shared
Oh yeah
Long, long time ago
He told his people if we don't get by we'll never be equal
And our children will never, never learn to grow
Long, long time alone
He told his people if we fly with the sky we'll rise and be eagles
And our brothers will never, never lose a soul
Oom-bop-oom-bop-oom-bada (I'm ready, ready and waiting)
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah
Oom-bop-oom-bop-oom-bada (I'm ready, ready and waiting)
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah
Oom-bop-oom-bop-oom-bada (I'm ready, ready and waiting)
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah
Oom-bop-oom-bop-oom-bada (I'm ready, ready and waiting)
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah
On you
Now let me close my eyes (on you)
And let me wipe my tears (on you)
Don't let me say goodbye (on you)
Don't let me close my eyes
With the dreadlock hair
Oh he went muggin' down the street with the gun in the air
Like he didn't care

Oom-bop-oom-bop-oom-bada (I'm ready, ready and waiting)
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah
Oom-bop-oom-bop-oom-bada (I'm ready, ready and waiting)

Don't let me close my eyes
