I'm Ready - Niykee Heaton

I’ve seen strength in the face of death

I’ve seen money in the streets of ghettos, Soweto, shadows fall

Across faces of pain, still they strain, for greatness

From those years, still sacrificing

No fears, just drive, like Tyson

In flight I’ll soar

Can’t sit back no more

I was waiting on this shit

Didn’t realize I was waiting on this

I’m young and I’m ready

I’ll run this shit till the death of me

My ambition is my weaponry

I’ll run this shit till the death of me

Determination became the anthem, hung like phantoms, and I learned

Retaliate on all my fears

I learned love was a type of cancer, killed you faster, the answer was

To find peace between those years

Over trembling floors, I’m steady

But they’ve written my death already

So many times

But this fire won’t die
