[Verse 1]
I've been trying to call you up on the phone
'Cause I've been sleeping by myself, all alone
I'm just tired of keeping myself in the zone
Girl, I'll be okay
It's what I have been doing from the day I was born
Steady on my grind until dawn
So even with the shit you bring along
I'll still be o-okay
[Pre-Chorus]
They be judging (like that)
Pointing fingers (like that)
I don't listen (to stuff like that)
Don't pay attention just like that
[Chorus]
And they tryna hold me back from the fire
They don't like that I'm about to explode
My whole life I've been walking the wire
Better watch me 'cause I'm ready to blow
[Post-Chorus]
I'm ready to blow, oh
Oh-oooh-oh
Oh-oooh-oh
Oh-oooh-oh
I'm so ready to blow
[Verse 2]
Down with the phonies in the club
They'll do anything to get to the top
Mama keep filling liquor in this cup
And I'll be okay
See, I'm trynna keep myself in a [?]
If you got a problem with it, don't let me know
In a cab, take a drink, do a show
Yeah, I'll be o-okay
[Pre-Chorus]
They be judging (like that)
Pointing fingers (like that)
I don't listen (to stuff like that)
Don't pay attention just like that
[Chorus]
And they tryna hold me back from the fire
They don't like that I'm about to explode
My whole life I've been walking the wire
Better watch me 'cause I'm ready to blow
[Post-Chorus]
I'm ready to blow, oh
Oh-oooh-oh
Oh-oooh-oh
Oh-oooh-oh
Better watch me 'cause I'm ready to blow
I'm ready to blow, oh
Oh-oooh-oh
Oh-oooh-oh
Oh-oooh-oh
I'm so ready to blow
[Bridge]
This is what the world looks from here
Act a fool, act a king up here
Do whatever you want in here
'Cause that's just how, how we roll up here
[Chorus]
And they tryna hold me back from the fire
They don't like that I'm about to explode
My whole life I've been walking the wire
Better watch me 'cause I'm ready to blow
And they tryna hold me back from the fire
They don't like that I'm about to explode
My whole life I've been walking the wire
Better watch me 'cause I'm ready to blow
[Post-Chorus]
I'm ready to blow, oh
Oh-oooh-oh
Oh-oooh-oh
Oh-oooh-oh
I'm so ready to blow
