Lyrics
Dave, whattup man?
It's me
Umm.. just callin to see, if possible, if you have any
Time today or within the next couple of days
If, if, you're in the studio.. or if you're at home or car, whatever
That song.. that.. it's called trying or something, Mase
Was tellin me that I needed to hear?
He said it was amazing
Whoo the way he was talkin.. man I wanna hear it
Am I just another lost in the pack?
We Horshack shit, you know, laugh it off
Years just blow by
My eyes stay fixed but the picture's kinda outta focus
I cry a lot, but admit to it
Enjoyin life now, but I've been through it
Sometimes I wish that I can go back
No bills no kids just getting to’ back
I want a wife, I love women
How could I front like I don't be in love wit em?
A lil man, that I can teach
A lil sand, but not the beach
I figure excess'll only bring an excessive amount of fussin
So when I'm gone, make sure the head stone reads, "He did it for us"
I'm like your modern day Jesus
I cherish warm thoughts like a gray goose
And float soft kisses to my baby
(yo ain't that Dave's little girl?)
Yeah, respect her for that
She gon be somebody
Instead of somebody baby mama
You see young minds are now made of armor
I'm tryin to pop a hole in your Yankee cap
Absorb me
The skies over your head ain't safe no more
And Hip Hop ain't your home
And if it is you fuckin up the crib son
You make life look like I don't wanna live one
You might as well hold your breath until you die in a
Corner somewhere bent over in the crevice
This God Theory overcomes the worst of weathers
As long as you willin’ to try, you on a good start homie
.. you on a good start.. see nigga Tryin
People are you ready?
Yes we're ready
Are you really ready?
We wanna be ready
Ready for the change that may approach you?
Yes
Follow down the path that you supposed to?
Yes
People are you ready?
Yes we're ready
Are you really ready to try?
We wanna try harder
You know mistakes are trials that we learn from?
Yes
In order to live life, you must earn one?
Yes
People are you ready?
Throughout my change to grow, Some of my people got left behind
They didn't listen for the gun, as I leaped from off the line
Thirteen years deep in this marathon I'm runnin’
Paid dues and still got bills to pay
When I came back around the way
Old friends gave me dead eyes
And fake smiles, half wide
We were supposed to rid the world of danger
These days we nod heads and small talk like polite strangers
It's natural to fall off, just land close to the tree
I'll be there if they need me to be
And I know all my local shorties
Cause they all know who I am
And lately wanna flip grammar instead of grams
Like that's the only choice they got
They tell me how they gonna shake up the game
But came to me to see if I could give em guidance for change
Shit y'all, I need guidance myself
And I chisel right words to make gems
Got fans around the world, but my girl's not one of em
And my relationship's a big question
Cause my career's a clear hindrance to her progression
Said she needs a man and our kids need a father
I'm not at all ready to hear her say don't bother
And break
And this I know I can't take
But uhh
C. Smith said to hold on
My brother Luck said to hold on
My nigga Dave said to hold on
My nigga Mase said to hold on
Yo, Maseo, we need to hold on
Yo, y'all we need to hold on
People are you ready?
Yes we're ready
What you wanna be?
We wanna be ready
Do you wanna lose hate for love?
Yes
Do you wanna see these gates above?
Yes
I said people are you ready?
Yes we're ready
But, are you willing to try?
We wanna try harder
You really wanna carry some weight?
Yes
Are you ready to design your fate?
Yes
Yo, people are you ready?
Yes we're ready
What you wanna be?
We wanna be ready
Yes
Operation complete. Preparing for.. Installment three

"So when I'm gone, make sure the headstone reads 'He did it for us.' " I really hope they do, Dave.
Yeah fr we really do
damn
What a boss
Love yall!!
That statement hits me everytime I hear it.
This might be their most underrated song. Hands down my favorite De La track....played this religiously
More like their most actual song, song, so far.
Agreed. 😊
@@brainthebrian36900
Same bro! I used to have this on repeat back in the day. Was so sooped, when they announced that this album was a part of a 3 album project back then. ✊
This song just resonates deep in my soul 🙏👆👌💯
"Paid dues and still got bills to pay."
I've listened to and cried to this song so many times over the last 20+ years and even more in the past month. #DeLaForever
Damn Eric. Me too brother. I’m here if you need to lean. I get you.
Same.
Keep the head up !!!. that midlife getting me right now .
No shame in that friend. This song is beautiful.
Forever my favorite song from De La Soul. Teared up the first time I played it. I was working with kids in Brownsville when this dropped. It was a rough place to work. Started playing the album on the way to work. Got off and this was the first song I heard when I got off after a challenging day with the yout'dem. The second those kids say "Yes we're ready"... waterworks. 😭 Thank you De La. Rest well, Dave. 🙏🏾✊🏾
you did the same thing for me when I first heard Eclipse, you living legend ❤
@@LiberdadeBatora I'm honored, fam. Thank you.
I've been listening to de la for over 30yrs and I still tear up Everytime I hear this song. Real recognize real
Same for me almost made me tear up the first time I heard it
De La did for us and continues to do it for us. 🕊🕊🕊🕊 Fly High Dove.
This song saved my life in 98. Thank you De La. We miss you Dave.
Funny it transcends. Saved .y life when I was 11 years old in 06. "Wanna flip grammar instead of grams"
Not to nitpick, but this came out in 2001.
I got chills just from the beginning…. ✌🏾 RIP DOVE
Can't hold back the tears every time I hear the first verse from Dave :'(
🤍Ditto🕊
Same…
I feel you.
Man this shit hits different now.
Word fam. This joint does hit different now. Rest In Power Dove ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Such a beautiful song. Listening to it alone in the car really hits you. Especially after going through some heavy shit. Doesn’t get realer than this.
i listened to this song on repeat for a whole summer i love y’all
How did I miss this song? i didn't know it came out in the 90s....Classic!!!!!!!! Are u really Ready?
"He did it for us".
Notice that the comments here are filled with emotions and vulnerability. That's what DeLa is.. ELOQUENTLY POETIC AND FILLED WITH REAL LIFE. They are not rap. It's some kind of abstract version of THE BEST OF OURSELVES. So beyond any particular description. SO PROFOUNDLY BEAUTIFUL. De La SouL iZ finally FREE. ELOHE°IMIN. 🤔☀️💎
This is it.
We almost there!!!
If you grew up listening to De La you are Gen X. The Generation of Hiphop! 😎
I'm first wave Millennial (1981 to 1996. Born in 1985) and I listened to this and other De La Soul songs as a teenager because I just wanted some good rap music to listen to.
This song has been a such a treasure since I first heard it. I come back to it at least once a year. The messaging powerful and everlasting, in different stages of life.
This song hits hard when you’re grinding and trying to get to a better place
Still can’t listen to this song without crying. It’s like they wrote it for me. ✊🏽
2024 🇿🇦🇿🇦. De la soul forever
Back when hip hop was so righteous. We need the resurrection.
What is it with this monumental track?Its pulls at my heart and the tears flow but I’ll still come back to it.I guess sometimes we all need to release that pressure.
Omar’s Outside has the same effect.Peace and love people 🙏🏾❤
Dave is so real on this song RIP
Dave said we gotta hold on.
He always was😢
makes me😢 when Dave says that line, y'all know the one 😢 RIP
Yes dude we do 🙏🏾✊🏾
Man i appreciate yall cryin with me. This is scripture to me.
"HE DID IT FOR US..." /G\ R.I P.
From the soul straight to the soul. I missed life without this. I messed up. I miss alot. Rip Trugoy. Unlike today hip hop, this hip hop wants you to take a stand and be a man. Stay up yall. Remember yourself
One of my favorites by them RIP Trugoy 🕊 ❤ 🗽
RIP Dave. This is the one
I dedicate this one to my 2 brothers that’s no longer of this world as well as Phife Dawgg and Dave “TRUGOY” Jolliceur
Say. Word. My bros are not here either...cuz.R.I.P bros. I miss you...
This cut is more important than ever … messaging heavy
Pizza❤
I cry every time I hear this song.
It's beautiful. Listen to Immortal Techniques- leaving the past.
I feel that pain bro
Same here
Should have 10million views🤦🏿♂️
Beyond Beautiful Song✅.
Crazy how the Kids Say There Ready to Take on This World 🌎.
Having no Idea how Life is the biggest Challenge they’ll ever face. 👶🏼👶🏽👶🏾👶🏿👶🏻👧🏼👧🏽👧🏾👧🏿👧🏻
✨Rest EZ Plug 🔌 2✨
I miss my highschool years man! Real Hip hop was still appreciated! These young kids don’t even know
So true❤
My auntie died from cancer back in November. Dave died almost approximately four months after her. This song hit me hard for both of them. 😢❤ 💔 One of the most real, spiritual tracks ever produced in hip-hop.
Been bumpin' this since the album was released and it always gets me.
For the last 13 years I’ve been coming back to CZcams to play this song all the time because I can’t find it on streaming elsewhere which really makes me sooo sad, it’s one’a my fave songs of all time
A great album track produced by Posdnuos' brother.
Dave’s verse🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤
Timeless feelings and powerful words. This song makes me think of my journey in life up to this point. 8 months sober from alcohol jst taking it one day at a time
👍🏽👍🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Impossible not to feel something when playing this...De La is special
Brings a tear to my eye
This song always tears me up. It reminds me of my best pals ive lost over the years.. r.i.p legends!
Dave said hold on.
"Its natural to fall off, just land close to the tree "
Bro as i age this song becomes more and more relevant. Crazy how i knew it was dope when i was younger but never truly appreciated it.
Glad y'all put it back on CZcams. Thanks for all the good music through the years. The trying folks in '23 glad to have this one! Thank God for De la soul!
This song always up lifts my DeLa soul when I’m feeling out of focus ❤️💯👌🏆Thank you De La for having the theme songs of my life bless I’m here to give you the flowers 💐 now
Peace and Love.
I think i am the only South African that bangs thia beautiful jam in my neighborhood 😂..the young cats dont say anything but they listen. I will not stop banging such songs. FROM outkast to Goodie to bone i wont stop🎉
Thank you, De La Soul. Thank you, Dave.
Indeed...One💛#DLS✌🏽👏🏽✌🏽 #TryingPeople🤟🏽 Just soo much light in this #RIParadise🕊 #DaveTheDove🤍 👑#PeopleRURready👑
R.I.P 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ 😥😥
Under 90k views after a year is pathetic for such a great song.
Ugh!! This song hits me in the heart every time!! It speaks to the hurt of going through my divorce; missing my kids; being deployed to Iraq…..all at the same time! Yep, I’ve had many moments of introspection listening to this…..if there’s such a thing as “grown folks hip hop”…..this is it. RIP Dave and thank you for the gems my man ❤
One of my all time favorite joints from Da la I’m so proud and glad this group is from my era💥 legendary Hip Hop trio. Sleep peacefully Dave 🙏🏿🕊️
“I’m trying to pop a hole in your Yankee hat, absorb me”. RIP Dave ❤️🙏🏻🔥🕊️
"Mistakes are trials that we learn from, in order to live life you must earn one"
damn....
You are the soul in hip hop De La. Never changed. Has music that inspires, stories that teach, creativity that influenced alternitive concious rap through all eras of thier career. Never compromised, and are legends. Rip Dave.
This track dose something to my spirit 🫡👑’s💯
This is my favorite song, even now more relevant than ever. I played this for my kids so they could experience what I did when I 1st heard this track way back. Timeless!
2024 GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE
This track Dose something to my spirit for real 🫡👑’s
The tears that fall from this song form the stripes of a tiger.....❤

Litsitso le Lebo this is daddy's favourite song...❤ And I leave this comment for you to find..
READYYYYYYY (TRYYYYIIIIINNNN) 🎶
THIS IS AMAZING MY FAV SONG FROM DE LA
Shit im crying again....ah man joint cranks....wheeeew!
This song hits so different now.
So happy to grow up in this era I know you gone Dave but you did it for us...🎉🎉 De la soul
People are you ready, make sure the headstone reads he did it for us 😪 #riptrugoythedove aka Dave ❤. This song makes me think of my divorce and losing touch with my two children then later on having another child and losing touch with her also. When I hear people are you ready I 😭❤🙏🏽❤ maybe I'll get all three of them back someday ❤.
I also went through an awful divorce and totally understand; it's so hard being disconnected from your kids. I love this song because it sums up all the bitter things life puts us through, and the chorus reminds you of the beauty and determination that can help us make our lives a little better if we stay aware and focused on what is good in the world.
My coworker at Wherehouse Music used to wear this album out in the store when this dropped. Hard to believe that was 20 + years ago....
Shyt, I need guidance myself.....
Everyone just hold on!!
