Born Ready: Legend of T’Challa

Born Ready - King Chav

(Verse 1)

Never wanted a king, I just wanted to leave
They wanted me to change I just wanted to be me
Now they want me in chains, I just wanted to be free
And they turn a blind eye, well now I want them to see
I ain’t here to make friends, I just need to make amends
Yeah them odds stacked against me, I’m just here to break the trends
Bring them weapons in since my melanin got ‘em questioning what’s best for them
When the record ends I'm your reckoning
Want to see us up, the system made to fail
I’m on my way to Heaven, but for now I'll give em hell
Where I’m from, 21, you either dead or in jail
It feel amazing, looking at they faces when you prevail
What more do you want for me, couple sins from my past they been haunting me
I’m a legend every song you gon' get all of me
Loaded up you gone get this work at market fee, matter fact it’s all for free
Calm down, nah, here I go, I’ve been shooting off the screen like I’m setting pick and rolls
Ain't see me listed with the freshest, it’s cool they didn’t know
Leave a seed outside man it’s guaranteed to grow
I’m about to blow, doc, hold up wait a minute now I’m strapped in
I done seen the light so grab a camera for the action
Learned to play the hands I was dealt to my advantage
When the cards in my hand, every move is a gambit understand it
What’s a king, he can’t recognize his queen as his equal
What’s a king who don't really got love for the people
What’s a king who ain’t ready go and fight against the evil
What’s a king he don’t know another king supposed to lead you, uh
Thought we would be dead from this, they ain't know we bred for this
They sending apologies tell’em send that recompense
Everything seems fair in love and war
Thought they gave me all they had, well tell’em to send some more

(Hook)

You got something you’ll live for, means more when it’s something you’ll die for
With this life I’m a give more, ‘cause it’s a lot of people I’m a ride for I’m a ride for
Been fighting all my life
Born ready
Prepared for the pain and the strife
Born ready
You really want me come and get me
Born ready
Understand I got a million soldiers with me
Born ready

(Verse 2)

Some family in a box, other family members boxed up
But no matter the circumstances promise that won’t stop us
Life like Super Mario, from underground I popped up
Sure to level up, every time I made the block jump
Royal we, paid for the royalty like ASCAP
Dividends invested in myself like I'm the Nasdaq
Never tripping, opps setting traps for my demise
To it all I'm Forrest Whitaker, I barely bat an eye
Push me to the limit I may bend but I never fold
I’m a living witness to the greatest story every told
At the verge of dying but the lessons life providing made me learn to boss up, so the lining it looks better gold
Life becomes legacy so what hill will I die on
Told you I am legend so my son will be an icon
Snapshot of the vision better focus in like Nikon
Here to make a difference that keeps living after I’m gone

(Hook)

You got something you’ll live for, means more when it’s something you’ll die for
With this life I’m gonna give more, ‘cause it’s a lot of people I’m gonna ride for I”m a ride for
Been fighting all my life
Born ready
Prepared for the pain and the strife
Born ready
You really want me come and get me
Born ready
Understand I got a million soldiers with me
Born ready
