Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh I wasnt ready
Oh, oh, oh, I wasnt ready
Oh, I wasnt ready
Oh, I wasnt ready

1St verse:
When you talked about our future, you would nod your head and smile
But I didnt understand it, I was living in denial
I couldnt see the picture (picture)
Didn't want to see it clearer, cause I was so young
And now that I can't get ya (get ya)
Wanted to be wit ya, what have I become

Chorus:
If this is a game then I've been playing 'cuz
I wasnt ready
I never gave you my all when I had your trust
I wasnt ready
But I put this on everything I love, one more chance and we can make up
I wish it could have worked back then, but the truth is
I wasnt ready

2Nd verse
Mamma told me bout excuses, she'd say they're no use to say
What you would have done but didnt, I had to learn the hard way
Now that its over (over)
I wanted to just hold you, but I know I cant
Im trying to be a soldier (soldier)
I want to do it over, give me one more chance

Chorus

3Rd verse
Can I get a redo baby, cause you know I need you baby
And now I'm ready for your love, your love
I just wanna see you baby, just wanna smell and breathe you baby
Cause I hate what we've become, I wasnt ready for love

Rap (rufus blaq)
I waited, I contemplated, and then I did it
It was room for relationship, but pretty had to hit it
We like hand and glove, (head to a yankee fitted)
Game is obsolete, its all how you spit it
(Better yet listen), cause karma's a true avenger
Sort of like a ninja or a king in all his splendor
(Remember, love can be as cold as december)
Unless its in its truest form, I could never injure
(Your heart), break you or make you see my vision
Cause I know eventually you'll see my vision by the way I'm livin
(And it's a given)
I'm giving you my heart, I'm giving you my soul, I'm giving you my gold
I'm sorry for the dirt that I did
(Sneaking broads in and out the crib)
The double life that I lived
They say a fool sells dreams, but a man makes dreams come true
Mami, I changed all for the love of you
I wasnt ready back then though

Chorus
