Lil Berete has been one artist out of Toronto to look out for over the past few years. The Regent Park artist’s Icebreaker and 1 Way Out showcased his versatility and penchant for making hits. 2020 was a year where he did just that. Following the release of 2019’s 1 Way Out, he continued to flood the streets with singles like “Ride Or Die” and “Treacherous.”
It’s a new year and Berete is looking ready to run 2021 up. The rapper returned this week with his hard-hitting new banger, “War Ready.” Equipped with a cinematic visual that showcases the rapper in a high-stakes scenario in the 6ix, the rapper opens up the track acknowledging that he’s on some “different shit” while insisting he remains the “hottest in the Dot.”

[Intro]
You know what I’m sayin’?
This some different shit, nigga
Hope you niggas like this shit
Actually I don’t give a fuck if you guys don’t like it
‘Cause I’m still the hottest in the Dot
Brrt
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I made a change and I got me a chain
I got water on my neck, I been changin’ the weather
Streets so cold, gotta keep me a sweater
Got 40s and choppers, you know we gon’ wet him
Slide on my block, he gon’ turn to a victim
You know he ain’t gang if he shoot in our kennel
White Air Force when I’m all in the trap
I ain’t leavin’ the trap ’til that shit turn yellow
Mama be trippin’ ’cause pounds in the pillow
Mama be trippin’ ’cause bags in the denim
Same ones that’s trippin’, you know that I fed ’em
Same ones that’s trippin’, I said that I got ’em
Same ones that’s hatin’, they eatin’ McDonald’s
Ain’t have a thing ’cause I came off a dollar
Balling on niggas, I need me a scholar
Callin’ nobody, I keep me some hollows
[Chorus]
Yeah, you know we war ready (They know)
You know we war ready (They know)
You know I gotta keep that gang around me, yeah (They know)
You know I want more money
My hundreds comin’ with more problems, yeah
I took a lead, can’t depend on nobody, yeah
Yeah, you know we war ready (They know)
You know we war ready (They know)
You know I gotta keep that gang around me, yeah (For sure)
You know I want more money
My hundreds comin’ with more problems, yeah
I took a lead, can’t depend on nobody, yeah
[Verse 2]
Please don’t play with me
Shooters, they pull up, you know they be skrrtin’ and purgin’
I’m tryna better me
Takin’ these drugs won’t help my pain, I’m hurtin’ (Yeah)
Livin’ this life, you might end up hurt (Yeah)
Bought a new bitch and I love the skirt
Most of my niggas, they in the dirt
Most of my demons, they love to flirt
[Chorus]
Yeah, you know we war ready
You know we war ready
You know I gotta keep that gang around me, yeah
You know I want more money
My hundreds comin’ with more problems, yeah
I took a lead, can’t depend on nobody, yeah
Yeah, you know we war ready
You know we war ready
You know I gotta keep that gang around me, yeah
You know I want more money
My hundreds comin’ with more problems, yeah
I took a lead, can’t depend on nobody, yeah
[Outro]
They know, they know
Nobody, yeah
They know, they know
Nobody, yeah
They know, they know
Nobody, yeah
They know, they know
Nobody
