Spose, Dave Gutter - Ready This Time lyrics
[Spose, Dave Gutter - Ready This Time lyrics]
I lost my first record deal in ten months
Blinded by the light from
Let's run to redrum
Now I see it twenty twenty
Like Dateline, you can't rush in like Putin
'cause that's stupid
All good things take time
See, if I signed a deal
I'd do it a little different this time
I'd make sure my album dropped like
The day it got signed
So I could make it first
With no interference
Or no clearance from a label
Pyramid equipped with paperwork
So no pop rap radio hit clickbait
Just what I dictate
I could tell the label boss, "Hey bro
How my dick taste?"
Instead, I moved at a quick pace
I should have held out for
Two mill in new bills
With the big face, think about
That to this day, bro I
Learned so much, got burned so much
But I made it through the fire
'bout to turn me up
'cause I'm ready this time (are you ready?)
I said I'm ready this time
I said I learned so much, got burned so much
They put me on mute, 'bout to turn me up
'cause I'm ready this time (are you ready?)
I said I'm ready this time
Everyone who ever wrote me off can blow me
Ryan never lyin', genuine like "Pony"
Tryna touch cheese like pepperoni
I'ma make sure they know me, mom
Going out swinging like Kobe
One time I filmed a pilot for MTV
And when we wrapped it up, like no STD
The producer of the show phone called me
He's like, "Uh, bro, yo, they
Didn't pick up the show, i gotta go"
Never heard from him again
Not a word from him again
What is shiny on the surface
Isn't perfect in the end
Man I've been rejected bill collected
Left for dead then resurrected
Truly feelin' triumphed down
From this perspective, my confession:
Learned so much, got burned so much
But I made it through the fire
'bout to turn me up
'cause I'm ready this time (are you ready?)
I said I'm ready this time
I said I learned so much, got burned so much
They put me on mute, 'bout to turn me up
'cause I'm ready this time (are you ready?)
I said I'm ready this time
My publishing company been tryin' to fuck me
Like they filled the tub bubbly
Put the jets on, put the Keith Sweat on
Lit a couple candles and invited me in
Relationship abusive since the day
That it begin they took me out to lunch
Just to butter me up
To get me on board and throw me under the bus
They said they can't believe I wrote
Plus produced it plus I'm rappin'
What a talent, here's a hundred thousand
Get ready for Jimmy Fallon (Jimmy)
I should've been wary
It was Sony told me Katy Perry
Is the type of artist they could pair me with
But that never happened
If I had this shit to do again
Nobody's getting a dollar off what
I do with the pen
Learned so much, got burned so much
But I made it through the fire
'bout to turn me up
'cause I'm ready this time (are you ready?)
I said I'm ready this time
I said I learned so much, got burned so much
They put me on mute, 'bout to turn me up
'cause I'm ready this time (are you ready?)
I said I'm ready this time
Blinded by the light from
