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
