Ready or not
here I come
you can't hide
Gonna find you
and take it slowly
Ready or not
here I come
you can't hide
Gonna find you
and make you
want me
Now that I escape
sleepwalk awake
Those who could relate
know the world ain't cake
jail bars ain't golden gates
those who fake they
break
When they meet their
four hundred pound mate
if I could rule the world
everyone would
have a gun
And in the ghetto of
course
when giddyupin'
on their horse
I kick a rhyme
drinkin' moonshine
I pour a sip
on the concrete
For the deceased
but no don't weep
Wyclef's in
a state of sleep
Thinkin' 'bout the robbery
that I did last week
money in the bag
banker looked like a drag
I wanna play
with pelicans
from here to Baghdad
gun blast, think fast
I think I'm hit
My girl pinched my hips
to see if I still exist
I think not
I'll send a letter
to my friends
a born again hooligan
only to be king again
Ready or not
here I come
you can't hide
Gonna find you
and take it slowly
Ready or not
here I come
you can't hide
Gonna find you
and make you
want me
I play my enemies
like a game of chess
where I rest, no stress
if you don't smoke
sense less
I must confess
my destiny's manifest
in some Goretex
and sweats I make treks
like I'm homeless
Rap orgies with
Porky and Bess
capture your bounty
like Elliot Ness yes
Bless you if you
represent the Fu
but I'll hex you
with some witch's brew
if you do do Voodoo
I could do what you do
easy believe me
frontin' n***as
give me
hee-bee-gee-bees
So while you're imitating
Al Capone
I'll be Nina Simone
and defacating
on your microphone
Ready or not
here I come
you can't hide
Gonna find you
and take it slowly
You can't run away
from these styles
I've got, oh baby
hey baby
'Cause I've got a lot
oh yeah
Anywhere you go
my whole crew's
gonna know oh baby
hey baby
You can't hide
from the block
oh no
Ready or not
refugees takin' over
the Buffalo soldier
dread-lock rasta
On the twelfth hour
fly by in my bomber
crews run for cover
now they're under
pushin' up flowers
Superfly true lies
do or die, toss me high
only puff la
with my crew
from lock high
I a refugee from
Guantanamo Bay
dance around the border
like I'm Cassius Clay
Ready or not
here I come
you can't hide
Gonna find you
and take it slowly
Ready or not
here I come
you can't hide
Gonna find you
and take it slowly
Ready or not
here I come
you can't hide
Gonna find you
and make you
want me
Ready or not
here I come
you can't hide
Gonna find you
and take it slowly
