Prepared Lyrics


I been reading my old journals
Checking to see where my head has been
And I been apologizing to some people
Some bridges I needed to mend
And I been eating more greens
Getting my body out the line, oh
I'm gonna be super fine
And I been lettin'
Been lettin' some old ideas go
I'm making room for my life to grow
I just wanna be prepared, yeahI just wanna be, I just wanna be prepared
I just wanna be prepared
Getting myself ready
For what's comin' for me yeah yeah yeah
I am (I just wanna be, I just wanna be prepared)
I just wanna be prepared
(Prepared)Hear me now
I been getting recipes off the internet

Most times they be banging
I realized they're only good when I put
My lil' spices all up in rices
I've been
You know I've been enjoying people who love each other
Husband and wife
Sister and brother
Father and mother
I let the queen inside
I let her shine
I been listening to God more
I been doing my choresI just wanna be, I just wanna be prepared
I've been gettin' myself together
For what's, for what's comin' to me yeah
I just wanna be prepared yeah yeah yeah yeah
(I just wanna be, I just wanna be prepared)
I just wanna be prepared
(Prepared)For when I see him at the end of the isle
With that true heart and that real smile
Intentions pure
A love that will endure
I just wanna be prepared
I, I'm gettin' myself together
For what's comin' to me comin' to me yeah
I just wanna be prepared hmm
Oh
I just wanna be preparedI just wanna be, I just wanna be prepared
Prepared
I just wanna be, I just wanna be prepared
Prepared
I just wanna be, I just wanna be prepared
Prepared
