Staying Ready

[Intro]
Life a gift
That's why we living the present
And I be in the wind with it
This shit a breeze man cooling, sticking through the cold
Dodging the shade niggas throw
Looking at life a lil' different this time around

[Verse 1]
Uh, kiss my son before I leave and pray I make it back (back)
You damn right we out to profit, not just make it back
Love this shit man I'd be lying to say I ain't attached (I'd be lying)
Vision only you can see, gotta keep chasing that
Universe and all the signs I put my faith in that (put my faith in that)
Beat remind me of my ex this shit just take me back (take me back)
It's too much ground to cover, work to do I can't relax (I can't)
Need the G-Wagon all white, matte the Mercedes black (Mercedes black)
Peter Parker flow I get paid to snap (get paid to snap)
I've been feeling like I'm Hov on my Fade to Black (Fade to Black)
Apply pressure to these niggas tell 'em breathe
Going for the win, like the wind this shit a breeze
I don't recognize your cloth, we ain't gang different breed (who are you?)
We on the brink but you ain't hear it from me (nah)
At a new door in life, patience they say it's key
On a road less traveled laugh now
But we gone eat

[Chorus]
Ain't no way you can catch me
The cash rules everything except me
On the surface shit look light but weighing heavy
Chances don't come often, staying ready, staying ready
Cash rules everything except me
On the surface shit look light but weighing heavy
Chances don't come often, staying ready, staying ready

[Verse 2]
I can't lie I be plotting slash overthinking shit
If I had a penny for each thought I'd be rich
Cuff her dog, don't get your bitch taken like a risk
She feeling me but don't mistake this for no frisk (pat down)
Be the first to tell you ignorance ain't bliss (ain't bliss)
Invest that dirty money get it rinsed
When I pull up I almost hope you take offense
I know myself but some of y'all still on the fence
Come through, sauced up a nigga drenched
The universe speak, I hear it all, I see the hints
(You hear that, you see that)
Don't ignore the signs, know what you sign stick to the script (Know that)
Triple your bread, invest in me and watch it flip (flip)
Know the difference between rap and making hits (know the difference)
Don't regret a thing for me it's no time to repent (none)
Too solid to fold though this Henny got me bent (pour)
Damn it feel good making money off your niche

[Chorus]
Ain't no way you can catch me
The cash rules everything except me
On the surface shit look light but weighing heavy
Chances don't come often staying ready, staying ready
Cash rules everything except me
On the surface shit look light but weighing heavy
Chances don't come often
Staying ready, staying ready, staying ready
