Ain't Gonna Come Till I'm Ready

And you thought I was just holding on to the past

Believed these eyes could never see ah

In your face there are things I don't need

You take slaves when you make us free

When you make us free your way

And I ain't gonna come till I'm ready

I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, no

Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready

I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, oh

Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready

I ain't gonna come till I'm ready

I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready

I ain't gonna come till I'm, oh yeah

I can see what you're all about

You make us keep it in when we should let it out

I'll get even some day ah

You got it perfect now if you realize

That sometimes you have to be nice or there'll be hell to pay

I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready

Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, no

Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready

Ain't gonna come till I'm ready now

Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready

I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, no

Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready

I ain't gonna come till I'm ready
