[CHORUS:]
|
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.
|
|
[CLEF:]
|
Now that I escape, sleepwalker 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 400 pound mate
|
If I could rule the world
|
Everyone would have a gun 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 want to 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.
|
|
[LAURYN:]
|
I play my enemies like a game of chess, where I rest,
|
No stress
|
If you don't smoke sess, lest.
|
I must confess, my destiny's manifest
|
In some Goretex and sweats I make treks like I'm homeless
|
Rap orgies with Porgy 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're Doo Doo
|
Voo Doo,
|
I can do what you do, easy, BELIEVE ME
|
Frontin' niggas give me hee-bee-gee-bees
|
So while you're imitating Al Capone
|
I'll be Nina Simone
|
And defacating on your microphone.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
|
Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly
|
|
[LAURYN'S INTERLUDE]
|
|
You can't run away
|
From these styles I got, oh baby, hey baby
|
Cause I got a lot, oh yeah
|
And anywhere you go
|
My whole crew's gonna know
|
You can't hide from the block, oh no.
|
|
[PRAZ:]
|
Ready or not, refugees takin' over
|
The Buffalo soldier, dread-lock rhasta
|
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 refugee from Guantanamo Bay
|
Dance around the border like I'm Cassius Clay
|
|
[Chorus (Lauryn) REPEAT 3X:]
|
|
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
|
