Sparkle - We Are Ready Lyrics






Oh oh oh oh oh oh...

They have tried to silence us
Strip away the power from us
Said that we were weak
Long enough but, time is up
We ain't weak (no no no)
We have a voice and it's loud (loud)
No, we ain't just figure it out (out)
When we come together we win
We've overcome battles before
We'll do it again (again... oh oh oh oh)
And it's never been, an easy win

But...
We are ready (if you didn't know)
We are Ready (now you know... it)
Oh... We Are Ready (oh-oh, oh-oh)
We ain't goin' nowhere
We'll be right here
Ready, ready... yea yea

Ladies can you say it for me one time
We sick and tired of the mess
Sick and tired of the disrespect
Ya know, we deserve the best
We have daughters that we fight for
Ooh, I can feel my help
And we ain't lettin' nobody else
Handle them like they're worthless
(Oh oh oh, talk to 'em)
Every tear that we cry (cry)
Every bruise that we hide (hide)
There's too many hurtin' inside (side...)
There's too many hurtin' inside (oh...)
And we will not suffer in silence (oh...)
And you will not find a way out (oh...)
Your status won't keep you safe (oh...)
It's a brand new day

We are ready (been goin' on too long)
We are ready (and we've had about enough)
Oh... we are ready (won't be silent no more)
We ain't goin' nowhere
We'll be right here...
Ready

Ready...
Ready...
Ready...
Don't give up

Ya know...
I was thinkin' back to a time
Before it was a Me Too
It was just... Me
But on this crazy obstacle course I've been on
I mean... now more than ever
I'm ready

We are ready (if you didn't know)
We are ready (it's worth fightin' for yea)
We are ready (yea...)
We ain't goin' nowhere
We gon' be right here
We are ready... Yea (yes we are)
We are ready (waited long enough)
We are ready (Ooh...)
I ain't goin' nowhere
I'ma be right here
Ready...
I am... I am...
We are... We are...

  14. G.... K....

    I've just watching surviving r kelly on netflix in the U.K.
    I must say I was very disturbed.
    I grew up listening to r kelly.
    But since last year when heard he went to trial I am so disgusted by it.
    U and your family are very brave to speak up.
    Hopefully r kelly gets what he deserves 🙏🏼
    God bless

  15. L.... H....

    So much love for this and for you and survivors everywhere <3

  16. B.... s....

    Surviving r Kelly was power full this song is a testament to women. I'm sorry everyone had to suffer in the hands of this guy.

  17. D.... J....

    I love song. Just finished the series yesterday it had me thinking. It's so sad to k ow that someone you grow up listening to did horrible things to such beautiful girls. It's scary knowing that there is people out there like R Kelly and I think we all need to open our eyes and realize that we need to take more action.

  18. m.... n....

    Thankyou baby... welcome back.... preach 💯🙏

  19. B.... S....

    I love this song. All I can say is, women need to raise strong women who demand respect. That's the only way we can put a stop to abuse. Don't be victimized, at the first sign of abuse, get up and leave forever.

  20. M.... S....

    WE ARE READY FOR R KELLY TO GO TO JAIL FOR LIFE

  21. S.... G....

    Love it mama!!

  22. K.... A....

    Baby! I got them goose bumps just hearing her voice. It speaks to the soul and has VOLUME. Love the song girl. Love how strong you are! ♥️🙏🏼🥰✌🏼

  23. S.... ....

    Such a powerful woman 👌

  24. R.... C....

    I love the song Sparkle. Real Talk Sis. Keep your head up and your voice singing. You are TRULY a gift from GOD. And HE has a plan for your life to prosper you beyond your wildest imaginations. In the Mighty name of JESUS!!

    Never forget...
    JESUS was rejected by HIS people too.

  25. I.... M....

    Surviving R. Kelly brought me here. Thank you, Sparkle, for being the voice for those who were/are unable to speak for themselves. You are my hero. <3

  26. P.... C....

    Check the beautiful sample source for this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVz19M9JoRA

  27. I.... E....

    Beautiful lyrics. You empower these young girls. This government allowed this to go on to long because 95% of these precious girls were Black. Dam I was sickened to read the atrocities these babies went through and nothing was ever done to help the families. But a man puts his hand on a white woman's shoulder at the work place and he is sued, loses his job, ect. The law gets involved but not for these precious girls. R Kelly has some mending to do with God and this time he will be incarcerated were he will be the prey in prison. disgusting bastard.

  28. J.... S....

    Powerful song 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

  29. M.... E....

    Ok I like this only truth speak it yesssss ayeeeee !!!!!!!omg tears falling as I listen to this for the woman

  30. N.... ....

    You are a true inspiration . You speak truth , live your truth , no amount of money and fame is gonna make you tarnish your morals you are such a inspiration and I am so honored to be listening to your beautiful voice again and I will make sure all my supporters on social media are hearing about this song and the message behind it thank you !

  31. l.... U....

    Amen! Justice will truly be served at the end of the day. The light is shining pretty bright now! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

  32. I.... T....

    Amazing song!!! 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥

  33. S.... M....

    Out of 1 people came many. No ethnic group ever have been scattered and hated on the most. A lot of healing to still be done. U cant expect a racist ass to accept the truth. They have superiority complex.

  34. S.... M....

    I read some ignorant comment about how can black be beautiful bla bla bla. Well to start. Nubian black people of many skin tones are taught systematically to hate each other from centuries ago. We brought most things to the world and the world destroyed and re wrote and hid so much of our history the real truth. Raped our people. Divided and conquered. Went into our lands and planted there seeds of greed hate and financial gains and still today reap the benefits. The most high doesnt sleep but once we find ourselves again , no power like the black united power. Facts. The black woman is the most beautiful woman because she is also the original. Lets love ourselves and one another. This r.kelly thing is another example of self hate. No ones perfect whomever u are . But 1 things for sure. The world is waking up. Fuk any1 who wants to bring down melanated people ,original peoples under the sun.

  35. S.... M....

    Sad events but powerful resolve . Big up my black queens we love U

  36. T.... H....

    Wow ❤️ Man, what a woman, what a great voice ❤️ This Lady sparkles ✨💫✨

  37. M.... R....

    Sparkle is the best
    & she is a true warrior & brave artist & brave warrior too
    Because she's one of my favourite artist too
    Sparkle I'm really proud of you & I'm glad that you stayed strong & you have a voice of an angel
    Wakanda Forever

  38. T.... l....

    why do they put her music on Surviving R Kelly this is looking like an opportunist to me they could have play some jazz music for the background

    T.... l....

    Did you even listen to the song? Or did you immediately look up the song to spread negativity?🤦🏾‍♂️ she made this song specifically for the documentary

  39. D.... A....

    I need this instrumental Sparkle!!

  40. M.... 2....

    Ha!! Is this the song that she bashed R Kelly for to get some sells! It’s a low key diss song and shitty as hell to say the least! The “Me Too”..”Times Up” anthem! This is a joke! I can imagine that they blast this song right before they take a long sharp knife and slam it into a man’s back because they didn’t get what they wanted from him after some years! Yea you’re ready alright...ready to be called out on your bullshit! Stop fake crying after you sold all of your ass to get ahead! I’m a woman and I can truly say that butt hurt bitches make my ass itch! And it’s people like her that make real victims look bad! Yea you’re ready alright...to try to claim you’re a damn victim when you was a willing participant in whatever! Women please stop!...I calling out to you to take accountability and stop with the bullshit STAT!!

  41. A.... M....

    Lol..R kelly is not found guilty by any court on the so called charges, this sheep mentality u have is hilarious. Is like women r incapable of using their own analogy to see whats happening here.


    And also your lawyer Avenatti is not looking good too. that's the same lawyer that represented a porn start against Trump. * smh.

  42. P.... I....

    You are using r kelly name to make money but this song is so shit no meaning

  43. h.... a....

    I'm a Proud Black Male.
    Seeing the strength of those women, to turn such horrifying experiences into strength and love for thier families, and strong support systems for other victims, to publicly speaking on awareness, and in some cases going on to be amazing strong mothers..

    We to treat all women of all ages with the love and respect as God commanded us to. There is no room for interpretation on the matter.
    WE NEED TO STEP UP!

  44. e.... ....

    That’s odd you can’t sing so you may stop at anytime.

    You did an interview a couple of weeks ago you said that singing was just a hobby. I am guessing that was a lie also

    e.... ....

    She can sing. Really well! Wanna know how I know you're a fan? You're listening to her music and commenting. If someone doesn't like someone's music they would click the thumbs down & keep scrolling.

  45. D.... B....

    So this was played at the end of that bs documentary series, huh? And people actually came here after watching and hearing this song? Hmm, so Sparkle got in the limelight and got to release her song. Guessing those with books to release got theirs bought too? Lol the media did their job and succeeded. 🤭

  46. L.... Q....

    Love you Sparkle!

  47. D.... O....

    Kinda sounds like K. Michelle

  48. W.... P....

    We are ready!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

  49. D.... M....

    Sparkle please contact me

  50. R.... H....

    I LOVE THE EMPOWERMENT SENT THRU THESE LYRICS!!!!!!!!!!! I'm here for it & I AM READY!

  51. A.... ....

    From beginning to now, well done, Sparkle. And I'm not talking just about this song. I'm talking about how you've handled yourself from not falling victim to Kelly in trade for success, to acting on instincts and red flags about your niece, to standing firm despite the tremendous loss(es), to turning a message to song and inviting all of us in. I hope everyone understands that this is what "success" actually looks like.

  52. M.... A....

    Her voice is angelic....And the message is real.....Love this.

  53. B.... A....

    This song needs to be playing everywhere!

  54. M.... w....

    Sing it Ms. Sparkle❤️Black Girl Magic❤️❤️We Are Ready!

  55. J.... M....

    I used to like Sparkle! I really did! I always wondered what happened to her after her first album. According to R Kelly’s Ex Chef there was more to R Kelly’s & Sparkles Relationship than Friends. For the life of me Sparkle how could you talk so much shit & hate on a man who made your name be known to Chicago & a few other cities lol? It seems like you’re mad at him for controlling your extremely brief career and failing to have one without him so you’re bitter & vengeful. Aka taking him down at all costs because you needed him to make your career work & without him you failed. Give credit to where it is due. I bet he feels very hurt & betrayed by you smh. You’re a wanna be/has never been! Always trying to stunt & be seen on stage or taking pics with celebrities who come to Chicago to perform aka Chanté Moore & Toni Braxton. Genuine people can see right through you & your antics. That’s why you still need R Kelly’s name to have some sort of fame or success, which is very Sad. The man you hate so much you need at the same time to be relevant??? Crazy! A lot of people around R Kelly we’re using him & once you can’t get what u need from him you’re out for blood! Fake Phony! I doubt if your niece slept with R Kelly to! Do we have a Direct Statement From Raven Saying she did this? I believe this is all you trying to get back at R Kelly for your failed Career! You’re an Opportunist and A Fake you can’t even sing! How dare you bite the hand that feeds you? Dumb! Failed! Cancelled!

  56. 4.... e....

    We are not queens..We are simple women surviving in this mixed up world.

    Sparkle Breakfast Club interview brought me here. She mentioned the new single and I looked it up. I checked the comments out and I'm glad im not the only dude who likes this track. I love the R&B vibe and its lit as fuck. There should be a remix or sum. I still love R. Kelly though. He is a legend period. Still the king of R&B and I still think he's dope.

  86. t.... b....

    Good job queen

  87. N.... 4....

    🤔Why did you lie & hide the fact you was married to dude in public anouncment &plus fucked R.kelly &thats from your ex husband/public anouncment mouth himself/they self plus was you undergage when u meet kellz in 89?🤔

  88. C.... M....

    Isn't it mad how nobody listened to her way back when, even her own fucking family and everyone sees this documentary and believe her and then there are others would still don't... Why would she testify and walk away from R Kelly and be estranged from her family... I have always loved sparkle she is a real one... Truth prevails 👏💜 big love @sparkle love from due 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🎤🎤🎤🎤🔥🔥🔥🔥

    C.... M....

    Please Sparkle just another bitter RKELLY x she was cheating on her husband and left him for RKELLY Sparkle is just another bitter ex fraud

  89. C.... W....

    Beautiful song! I am here for the rise of women. Because of them we are 💯

  91. J.... J....

    I love Sparkle hearing her testimony shows her strength and experience it’s sad how our community handles situations like this. We as a people must do better, I’m screaming black power n togetherness. I love this song very powerful. 🙏🏿✊🏿💪🏿

    Welcome back Sparkle! Powerful song and voice, very empowering! Ready for your album!!

  96. A.... M....

    Why didn't they come out when the events happened? America has one of the strongest human rights systems in the world. Why did theyhave to wait until now? Genuine victims need closure, but this wave of allegations could be well scripted to destroy one of the greatest R&B icons in the world.

  97. N.... V....

    ❤️ ready with you sis, be strong

  98. M.... ....

    We are ready Sparkle!!!

  99. L.... L....
