[Verse 1]
Boots on the ground
Had enough of this clown
No, I won't stay 'round
Catch a bus, Greyhound
No, I'm not lookin' back
Turn around, it's a trap
I ain't fallin' for your charm
Put a lock on my heart

[Chorus]
Ready to run
Ready to run
Ready to run
Pack up my runnin' rhyme, no shade, it's time
So I'm ready to run

[Verse 2]
I'm headed to a safer place for livin'
I'm runnin', kickin', never scared of screamin'
It's hateful here and don't nobody care, I'm shoutin'
"Why is everybody being savage 'round here?"

[Chorus]
Ready to run
Ready to run
Ready to run, oh
Pack up my runnin' rhyme, no shade, it's time
So I'm ready to run
[Post-Chorus]
Ready to run, yeah
Ready to run, ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
Been down on my knees
Got back up to crawl all over
No more hate interferes
Now that I'm on my feet
I'ma walk, I'ma walk, I'ma walk to the edge, yeah
I'ma run, I'ma run, I'm catching the air
Ain't no slowin' down from here
Ain't no room for shackles, dear
Try to catch up if you dare

[Chorus]
Ready to run
Ready to run
Ready to run
Pack up my runnin' rhyme, no shade, it's time
So I'm ready to run

[Post-Chorus]
Ready to run, yeah
Ready to run, oh, yeah
[Outro]
Ooh, yeah, ooh, ready to run
