Kindred the Family Soul, also referred to as Kindred, are an American neo soul duo consisting of married couple of Fatin Dantzler and Aja Graydon. Signed to Hidden Beach Recordings, Kindred emerged from the Philadelphia neo soul movement that also includes Jill Scott, who discovered them while the couple was performing at the Black Lily Film & Music Festival.
After two years of work on the CD, Hidden Beach issued their debut album Surrender to Love in February 2003, which included the single "Far Away". Their follow-up album was 2005's In This Life Together—its title being a reference to Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee's 1998 book With Ossie & Ruby: In This Life Together—, spawning the single "Where Would I Be (The Question)".
The duo were nominated for a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Album, Group Band or Duo for Surrender to Love in 2004 and a BET Award for the BET J Cool Like That Award in 2006. The group's third LP, The Arrival, was released on October 21, 2008.
Intro:
Oooh, yeah yeah
Baby I'm ready,
Don't you know that I'm ready this time
After all of the hard work
And all of the things I sacrificed
Now I finally know my worth
The whole of me it has no price
I thought I'd never make it this far
I underestimated myself
And though my life has truly been hard
Now I know the greatness of my wealth
I'm rich in love (ooh yeah yes in love)
I'm rich in peace (i'm rich in peace)
I'm rich in hope yeah (hope yeah)
I'm rich indeed (ooh ooh ooh)
CHORUS:
I'm ready (I'm ready)
This is My Time (my time)
All that I'd hoped for is mine
It's mine, it's mine
(repeat)
See I can have anything
See I can do anything if I believe
I've learned what you want you have to start first
You can't just sit back and wait on anyone
You've got to put your best foot forward
Have faith and take action
‘Cause you never know where that road may lead
You can't be afraid to take that chance
You've got to sow and plant your seed
Adapting to any circumstance
I'm rich in love (said i'm rich in love)
I'm rich in peace
I'm rich in hope yeah (so much hope)
I'm rich indeed
Repeat Chorus 2x
You'll know when that moment comes
And childish things are put aside
When you've learned to embrace your true self
And you really begin to live your life...
(When you begin to live your life you'll see...
Just how ready you are...)
