Europa/Ready from Dragonfly by Ajani Jones

Take your time
You’ll be fine
If you agree
Cuz we can ride
Till the city disappears
And girl you fine
I just gotta let you know
I love these signs girl you mine
give me something to believe in
in my mind
cause girl your mind is so timeless
you just a soul sista
Holding my life
in your hands girl just hold me
give me something to believe in

Poem
Queen of the paradise
I’m not ashamed to mention
She like fruities and chews after smoking a blunt
Mango Arizona’s, insane amount of grown ups try to find you
But you hide inside of the moon
So spiteful
I do peep more than shown in this place that we live
Basically riches is what you perceive and I have a lot to give
Red lights across this avenue
If love’s what you cherish I’ll find it and carry it back to you
Europa

Ready

Ready

Lately
I feel like we ain’t even seen the sun
The late nights and drunk texts have happily begun
I showed my sisters they look ooh you think that she the one
About to crash she say I look like I ain’t even done

Split the screen
Mickey D’s on a Sunday
And it still don’t add when the check clear on Monday
Holy Spirit be your only clearance
Another day another kiss
Another black experience
I wanna roll thru my old hood
I hope them niggas left
And chased the dollar and a dream and then they made it stretch
I write my wrongs and when I’m right I often make a mess
Been building blocks
So many locks the box would need some breathe
I mean my world some peace
I never met a Ron arrest
But all these turns I make they often seem to make me stress
Gimme a soul
Been after that like I could use some rest
It’s just a shame that we was ready but the truth has left

Chorus
so tell me are you ready
this time
so tell me are you ready
this time this time
you only got one shot
i’m telling you this like one time
one time
so tell me are you ready this time
so tell me are you ready this time
this time
you only got one shot
hmm
come save me like one night
one night
one night
