Stay Ready (What a Life) (feat. Kendrick Lamar)

[Jhene Aiko]

We do not exist in

Any other instant

Here in this dimension

You and I are meant to be

I have waited lifetimes to find you

Now that you're here

I can remind you

Of the things you've been dreamin'

Times two

I promise you

If you just give me 24

Man, all I need is 24 hours

I promise you'll want plenty more

You've probably been waiting forever

So how does it sound

Us on the ground

Giving you my love?

There's no place quite like here

There's no better time than now

You gotta stay ready

There's no place quite like here

There's no better time than now

That's why I stay ready

[Kendrick Lamar]

Tell me find your spot with the warning that I might slip

And when you climb on top that's the ultimate road trip

Ride on my like your Pac got me thinkin' it's 96'

I can rap on some nineties shit, wrap your leggings around my hip

I'm so hip to it, tourists want to come speculate

But if I stay monogamous promise this kiss will always taste like candy

And yea, it's obvious momma now probably can't stand me

I'm sure they're tired of this look that you have when you're antsy

We gon' fuck around (MM), we gon' fuck around

And triple through triplets of babies right now

And that might break the record and no, that don't mean you're fertile

That means we're fucking reckless, plus we don't use protection

I find myself reading old text messages when I'm bored

We find ourselves sexting 'til that connection is restored

I know that sounds immature, but if we never grow up

Then I wish you good luck on the seas that's inside this wall

[Jhene Aiko and Kendrick Lama] r

Come to me, come, come to me

Look at what you've done to me

You put a gun to me

Then you brought the Sun to me

[Kendrick Lamar]

Shine like blood diamonds

Learning to have patience only cause you are timeless

The universe energy doesn't lie

And this chemistry is infinity at a million times

I wrote a million rhymes describing your star power

And after 24 bars, you get 24 hours

[Jhene Aiko]

All that I know is right now

Nothing's for sure but, right now

Gotta get yours like, right now

[Jhene Aiko]

I been through some shit man

But I be on my shit man

I decided

That what you give

Is what you're given

So I been tryna do it right

I been doin like

Whatever gets me through the night

What a life

I'm steady always on the go

You steady always on the go

We steady losin all control

What a life

[Jhene Aiko]

They say

The truth ain't pretty

But comin from that pretty mouth

The truth is fitting

Cuz you ain't never talkin lout

And you know plenty

Yea you know what I'm talkin bout

Cuz you just get me

Yea you so pretty

If everything is dipped in gold

Then baby it will never grow

Everything sweet ain't sugar coated

[Jhene Aiko]

What a life

What a life that I've been given

What a life

What a life that I've been living

What a life

What a life we die to live in

What a life
