READY FOR WAR / IVAN DRAGO ft. Jimboslice & Makadelic Lyrics

Alright, it's time to fight

I had to ride for this

I had to ride for life

I had to ride for this

Same how I ride a bike

I had to die for this

I had to take a life

Uh-huh

Treat the game like a Nazi

Can't nobody stop me

My whole gang came as deep as a posse

I don't need nobody

They fought me, I fought back like I'm Rocky

Hopped up like an olley

Get ready, cause we just getting started

I'm ready for war

And I don't know if I'ma make it out alive

I don't know if I can make it if I try

I don't know if I'm ready to save a life

But I'm ready for war

It's time to suit up

It's time to tie them boots up

It's finally time to shoot sumn

I'm ready for war

Yeah

Yeah

I don't really know which way to go

Sometimes man I feel "already been here before"

I ain't been the same since I put blood on the sword

I ain't been the same since I lost heart in the war

I'm ready for war

And I don't know if I'ma make it out alive

I don't know if I can make it if I try

I don't know if I'm ready to take a life

Stabbed in the back for no reason

I seen 'em laugh in my face

And then they all change

Change like the seasons

Back in the day, they used to say I was the one they believed in

Back in the day, I used to pray

They used to treat me like Jesus

That's why I'm battling my demons

And I'm ready for war

And I don't know if I'ma make it out alive

I don't know if I can make it if I try

I don't know if I'm ready to save a life

But I'm ready for war

Yeah

And I don't know if I'ma make it out alive

I don't know if I can make it if I try

I don't know if I'm ready to take a life

You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life

But it ain't about how hard you hit

It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward

How much you can take and keep moving forward

That's how winning is done

Now if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth

But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointin' fingers

Sayin you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody

Cowards do that and that ain't you

You're better than that

They double cross us & execute us, I'm not a Judas

Tryna measure up and become a ruler, these lethal shootas

Be acting clueless, that's why I must pursue my pursuers

They wanna fool us, my nigga Saint and my nigga Louis

Avoided steppin, but I 

Been steppin forward, if they

Look at me now and back then it all be distorted, 'cause I 

Cannot ignore it, and I 

Cannot support it

My people been extorted 

EBT and Momma's porridge

Enough

Been fightin' mental wars every single day

Went from roaches to the middle class, still showed up late

And that shawty got the biggest ass, finna pound the cake

And you know I always finish last, tortoise win the race

But I digress, the thump- thump- thumping is the passion in my chest

And if we talkin rappin, Mak'll give you nothin less

And if we talk producing, Jessup he the fuckin best

Until we win this war, I swear to god I'll never rest

Until we win this war, I swear to god I got the TEC

I put that shit on Maple, wanna try us? Be my guest

I told you I'm the staple, nigga, always at my desk

I'll put my heart into it till it's cardiac arrest

What, what,

Another level, no campaign

Too ill, another damn strain

Can't see you through my damn frames

Pressing buttons, I ain't playing games

And I kill kings in the damn rain

And I put the crown on my man Blaine

They ain't see it coming, what a damn shame
