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, 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
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
Yo, 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
Voodoo, I can do what you do, easy Believe me, frontin' niggas give me heebie-jeebies 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 got, oh baby, hey, baby 'Cause I got a lot, oh, yeah And 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, dreadlock Rasta On the 12th hour, fly by in my bomber Crews run for cover, now they're under pushin' up flowers Superfly true lies, do or die (he's super fly) Toss me high, only puff la, with my crew from Lakay I refugee from Guantanamo Bay Dance around the border like I'm Cassius Clay (yes, sir)
Ready or not, here I come You can't hide (ay, yo nobody move) Gonna find you And take it slowly Ready or not, here I come You can't hide (ay, yo nobody move) Gonna find you And make you want me
Ready or not, here I come You can't hide (you know the) 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
