[Verse 1: Jill Scott]

I’ve been reading my old journals

Checking to see where my head has been

And I’ve been apologizing to some people

Some bridges I needed to mend

And I’ve been eating more greens

Get my body alkaline

Oh I’m gonna be superfine

And I’ve been letting

Been letting some old ideas go

I’m making room for my life to grow

I just wanna be prepared (yeah)

[Chorus]

I just wanna be I just wanna be

Prepared (prepared)

Getting myself ready for what’s coming for me

Yeah

I am

I just wanna be I just wanna be

I just wanna be baby

Prepared (prepared)

Hear me now

[Verse 2: Jill Scott]

I’ve been getting recipes off the internet

Most times they be bland

I realize they’re only good when I put my lil spices all up in the rice

I’ve been

You know I’ve been enjoying people who love each other

Husband and wife

Sister and brother

Father and mother

I let the queen inside

I let her shine

I’ve been listening for God more

I’ve been doing my chores

[Chorus]

I just wanna be I just wanna be

Prepared (prepared)

I’ve been getting myself together

For what’s coming for me

Yeah

I am

I just wanna be I just wanna be

Prepared (prepared)

I just wanna be prepared

[BRIDGE: Jill Scott]

For when I see him at the end of the aisle

With that true heart

And that real smile

Intentions pure

A love that will endure

I just wanna be prepared

I… I’m getting myself together

For what’s coming to me

Coming to me, yeah

I just want to be prepared

Mmm

Ohh

I just wanna be prepared

[Chorus]

I just wanna be, I just wanna be

Prepared (prepared) (4x)
