42 North - Ready lyrics

[Verse 1] Dear Daddy, I'm missing you so So much I wish I could get up and go Back to the past, kick it at home I wish I could call you, pick up the phone Used to clown, that's gone You would slap me upside of my dome Now you not around when I be at home I wish you was around me now that I'm grown To see my wife in all white, walking that aisle, making me smile Instead I saw you fight for your life And what you miss now? The birth of my child It gets worse, cause the second one's here and it hurts And they'll never get to meet you, d**h did first And it's coming for me too, I'm cursed I hear you [Hook: Dimitri McDowell] I hear your footsteps coming from behind And I know, know that any day it might be my time I'll be ready if you coming Ready, ain't no running I'll be ready when it's time, I'll be ready I'll be ready for that moment Only human and I know it I'll be ready when it's time I'll be ready [Verse 2] I hate d**h, it ain't right Sneaks right up after daylight One day you're feeling great, then it's over Yeah my dad went fast, but took it like a soldier Hold the presses, I'm losing my breath as I try to address it I can't escape it, I'm not that impressive If d**h is a prison, we all get arrested Every now and then take a look at his pic, so the image don't slip away Don't wanna remember him laying in that bed, but I really can't forget the day I can't think of a thing in my past Harder than watching him breathing his last d**h, I know I'm in your path I know I'm not free from your grasp I hear you [Hook: Dimitri McDowell] I hear your footsteps coming from behind And I know, know that any day it might be my time I'll be ready if you coming Ready, ain't no running I'll be ready when it's time, I'll be ready I'll be ready for that moment Only human and I know it I'll be ready when it's time I'll be ready [Verse 3] Hey d**h, we know you so well Every time we rise up, you fight with no fail You snatch us down, we so frail Got no time to pretend You take on every soul, and only see wins We got no way to defend But hey d**h, please know We won't have much to grieve for When all your wins are repoed And the reaper reaps what he sowed I ain't gon run from you What I got to flee for? Did it your hurt your self esteem when you heard your sting was no more? [Hook: Dimitri McDowell] I hear your footsteps coming from behind And I know, know that any day it might be my time I'll be ready if you coming Ready, ain't no running I'll be ready when it's time, I'll be ready I'll be ready for that moment Only human and I know it I'll be ready when it's time I'll be ready
