Not Ready Songtext
von Mutts

Found God in Her room
Mama said, "Not ready"
Looked up to the moon
Moon-man said, "You not ready"

Dipped down through the flume
Water felt so heavy
Dropped change on some tunes
Jukebox said, "You′re too heady"

(I wanted) I wanted a flock my feathers fit
(I needed) I needed to straighten out my shit
(I wanted) I gon' get down in the water
(I needed) I need to wash and get myself clean

Suit coat, I couldn′t breathe
Took my lungs and spit 'em out
Pant hem to the knee
My legs, I cut 'em down


It′s true I know I should′ve bought myself a better tailor
But I spent all my money on a suit that looked the shit
Now that I've bled out you can bury me early but dapper
Instead of fitting it I should′ve found a suit that fit

(I wanted) I wanted a flock my feathers fit
(I needed) I needed to straighten out my shit
(I wanted) I gon' get down in the water
(I needed) I need to wash and get myself clean

I′m shedding confidence like oaks under November frost
Embarrassed by my fleeting leaves and my rooted thoughts
The concept lingers like fall cumulus: fat and low
I pray for rain just to get wet with what I need to know

(I wanted) I wanted a flock my feathers fit
(I needed) I needed to straighten out my (I wanted) shit
I gon' get down in the water (I needed)
I don′t need to wash to get myself
Clean
