| Lyrics: | Guess I was gone just a little too long But I'm back like a rebound Everybody said that they thought I was dead Nobody was found Some people been hatin, yeah but some been waitin Been a while since I got some Well I've got good news for the faithful few Cause the rapture's come [C] Are you ready? To lose your mind Are you ready? To find your soul Are you ready? To go back in time Are you ready? To rock and… Roll down the street like a pimp, like a thief OGs from the way back Ain't no feeling but the stuff I'm selling Give a dead man a heart attack It's a blood from a ghost, it's a holy toast With an instant replay And if that ain't you, it's whatever, that's cool Get out of my way [C] [Bridge] Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? I was born at the crossroads, Devil ain't got no way to keep me down I'm a freight train rolling and I'm gonna keep going No stopping now If the booze and the pills and the pain didn't kill me No sense diggin no hole You can damn sure try but I just won't die Cause you can't kill rock and roll [C] Written by Dave Tough, CJ Watson |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
