Add-2 - When You're Ready [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
You were born to fly
When you're not so shy
When you're ready

[Verse 1: Add-2]
Looking at my arms tryna find my wings see
I hum the same song that the caged bird sings
Holding onto dreams I don't sleep at night
Sitting in the dark when you need that light
While you wishing on a star I'm asking would you want to be one?
Living in the city where it's so hard to see one
Staring at the [?] ain't a place to put a t on
Make a star track now everybody wanna cling on
Nigga what you be on? Remind myself
Inside a mirror tryna find myself, stomach in knots
I untie myself, were you blind by wealth?
Who you owe when you by yourself? Let it sink
Back drinking, told my mama that I quit though
But shit, when shit's broke is when you looking for a fix though
Drinking out the bottle like my answer's at the bottom
Ain't it funny how it's empty and you hollow?
That's when you know that you got a problem
Knowing you gotta solve them and knowing you got friends
But knowing you never call them
Falling like Donnie play a song for you
Feeling weak, but I'm tryna be strong for you
Cause you need me
If you see me break down just know that it ain't easy
If big Ma could see me shed probly say it'll be ok
She probly say it'll be ok

[Hook: Heather Victoria]
When you're ready
I'll be right here waiting for you
If you need me let me know and I'll come
I'll be right here waiting for you
If you need me let me know and I'll come

[Verse 2: Add-2]
Visiting my pop's crib he asked how I'm living
I said in staying on my job and he told me that he lost his
He said it with a smile tryna soften it
Him and mama arguing, I'm often getting caught in it
Praying that they stay together
Cause when you see it rain you wanna change the weather
Tryna make a way when you can make it better
A house is not a home, address change like Cinderella
Listening to Ella sing married to the game, exchanged wedding rings and
Life a bitch, she divorce and take everything
Life leave you with more questions and less answers
They told me Brad got cancer, I tell him fight it
I know he trying, knowing he lying saying he feelin' fine
It took his legs and I was crying so the day when he died
I locked myself inside my room for a couple days and sat
Just wondering where God at?
Since you been gone I listen to Steve Wonder
I never dreamed that you'd leave in summer
It's hard to face fears in it, sometimes it's harder to face mirrors
When you tryna find strength to tell his wife and kids
I'm sorry for your loss, it doesn't wipe away the tears
I wanna ask the man upstairs
If any of my prayers make it up to your ears

[Hook: Heather Victoria]
When you're ready
I'll be right here waiting for you
If you need me let me know and I'll come
I'll be right here waiting for you
If you need me let me know and I'll come
