[Verse 1: Jill Scott]
I’ve been reading my old journals
Checking to see where my head has been
And I’ve been apologizing to some people
Some bridges I needed to mend
And I’ve been eating more greens
Get my body alkaline
Oh I’m gonna be superfine
And I’ve been letting
Been letting some old ideas go
I’m making room for my life to grow

I just wanna be prepared (yeah)

[Chorus]
I just wanna be I just wanna be
Prepared (prepared)
Getting myself ready for what’s coming for me
Yeah
I am
I just wanna be I just wanna be
I just wanna be baby
Prepared (prepared)

Hear me now
[Verse 2: Jill Scott]
I’ve been getting recipes off the internet
Most times they be bland
I realize they’re only good when I put my lil spices all up in the rice
I’ve been
You know I’ve been enjoying people who love each other
Husband and wife
Sister and brother
Father and mother
I let the queen inside
I let her shine
I’ve been listening for God more
I’ve been doing my chores

[Chorus]
I just wanna be I just wanna be
Prepared (prepared)
I’ve been getting myself together
For what’s coming for me
Yeah
I am
I just wanna be I just wanna be
Prepared (prepared)
I just wanna be prepared

[BRIDGE: Jill Scott]
For when I see him at the end of the aisle
With that true heart
And that real smile
Intentions pure
A love that will endure
I just wanna be prepared
I… I’m getting myself together
For what’s coming to me
Coming to me, yeah
I just want to be prepared
Mmm
Ohh
I just wanna be prepared
[Chorus]
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
Prepared (prepared) (4x)
