I tried to cover my shine I've tried stayin' in the lines I, I, I don't wanna hide No, not tonight You, you, you want me to take my light, light Fit it in your box, right I want you to look me in the eye-eye-eye-eye
Ready or not Here, here, here-here-here I come I'm about to show you Where the light comes from Oh, oh, ready or not here-here I come This is who I am I won't hide it Imma take it all over the world To the young, to the old, every boy and girl Ready or not here-here I come Imma show the world where the love is
I'm not ever sellin' out A love out loud is what it's all about Givin' everything to see the lost get found Yeah, it's goin' down You, you, you want me to take my light, light Fit it in your box, right I want you to look me in the eye-eye-eye-eye
I, I refuse to keep this buried deep inside of me Yeah, this lil' light of mine, it's time to let it shine a bit 'Cause there's no point in hidin' it It's everything I am The source of all my hope And it's the reason why I stand And-and-and-and I pledge allegiance to being somebody real There's no more holding it back I'm showin' 'em how I feel, 'cuz love is more than a word It's a noun and a verb, and hidin' it is absurd Ya heard Ready or not
