[Intro] Am I ready yet… or just rehearsin’ the yes in my head sayin’ “I can” with the mic half-dead heart still wired to the hospital bed [Verse 1] Clock keeps tickin’ like a pulse I ignore mirror says move but my bones say “what for?” dream’s on fire, body’s on floor both want more than the last rapport I been hidin’ in recovery rooms countin’ breaths like unpaid dues built a plan outta pill-shaped truths still ask, what’s left if I still lose [Pre-Hook] every scar keeps whisperin’ “wait” every hope keeps beggin’ “go” I’m caught between faith and fate between the bed and the show [Hook] am I ready yet, or just brave enough to fake it call it healing if I make it ten hours a week, one step to take it my body ain’t broken, just sacred am I ready yet... [Verse 2] they say start small, but I live large inside each heartbeat feels like a reason to hide I want work that won’t swallow my pride want peace that don’t need me to die emails glow like confession lights I write drafts like prayer at night half saint, half résumé fight tell the truth but keep it tight [Bridge] if I fall, I’ll fall honest if I stand, I’ll stand slow I don’t need the world to promise I just need to know [Hook] am I ready yet, or just tired of waitin’ call it faith if I keep creatin’ the fear don’t fade, it’s just shapeshiftin’ but I’m still here - still listenin’ [Outro] soft breath, soft step no crown, no net one hand on the door askin’ - am I ready yet?
