i am ready for the world
where nobody cares
if you live or you die
a place where people walk over a person
that is laid out in the floor
whether he is drunk or dead

i am ready for the world
where people cheat to get ahead
the S.A.T's, state license exams,
teacher certification, the politics
the lies and scandals to be politically correct
there's a difference between hustling and cheating
its all in how one plays the game
i know the difference, but you will never know

i am ready for the world
where minorities don't have their priorities
they rather get up on a saturday morning
8 o'clock bright and early to buy a pair of jordans
but ask them to get up that same saturday morning
8 o'clock bright and go down to city hall and fight for a cause
there is a moment of pause
and they say i'm tired, it's too early for me bee
they looked decked out , but yet they are on welfare
where we are right now, we need to stand up and fight this warfare

i am ready for the world
where corruption becomes a normative
way of living
constant changes about the rules
the policies, and protocols
but ask yourself
why?
because there is a cover up
to hide the truth that will always unveil
my will to win will always prevail
not even the pigs ( i mean cops) won't lock me up and imprison me in jail

i am ready for the world
where your own kind treat you like nothing
recycle you like yesterday garbage
and wear a mask to portray someone that they are not
i will see right through you and put you on blast
whatever happen in my past
its put to rest
i am always the absolute best
i will not collapse like the 2004 yankees
or choke like the knicks always do in the playoffs
my aspirations of being the greatest is on the flight been taking off
i know what lies ahead of me
everyday there is a war zone
whether it's in the ghetto or in the suburbs
don't let neighborhoods fool you
people are low lives regardless of one's lifestyle

i am ready for the world
where there are decent people
that want to see me prosper
to foster my enhancements in growing
to be the man i become
to love me for me
to understand for who i am
and not i once was at one time
