Her first single of 2024, “Ready for the Rest” tells the story of how Curtis repaired relationships and journeyed through motherhood, though scared, with the help of her family.
[Verse 1]
It was a Tuesday in March, I'd been feeling kinda weird all night
So I ran up to the corner store, for a little peace of mind
I put the test on the counter, cashier said "do you want a boy or girl?"
I said "I never really thought about that, I'm not even sure"
And as I sped home so many thoughts, running through my head
What am I gonna do if this says yes?
[Chorus]
I'm gonna fix some things that I've broken
Mend the bridges between me, my mom, and dad
Put truth to the lies that I've spoken
I'm gonna give my baby more than I ever had
I don't know how this story goes
And I'm damn sure scared, but all I know
Is if this says yes
I'm ready for the rest
[Verse 2]
Those three minutes waiting felt like it went on forever
Peeking through my hands, couple tears hit my sweater
I saw that message on the screen
I dropped down to my knees, 'cause it said yes
[Chorus]
I'm gonna fix some things that I've broken
Mend the bridges between me, my mom, and dad
Put truth to the lies that I've spoken
I'm gonna give my baby more than I ever had
I don't know how this story goes
And I'm damn sure scared, but all I know
Is since this says yes
I'm ready for the rest
[Bridge]
It's the 23rd of December
The room is filled with joy
Was a long hard road, but I finally had
My redhead baby boy
[Chorus]
And I've fixed some things that I've broken
Mended the bridges between me, my mom, and dad
I put truth to the lies that I've spoken
I'm gonna give my baby more than I ever had
I don't know how this story goes
And I'm damn sure scared, but all I know
Is, I'm ready for the rest
[Outro]
(Ah-ah)
I'm ready for the rest (ready, ready, ready)
