Ready Or Not (Salaam's Ready For The Show Remix)

[Wyclef]

I'm just about done...

Yo, let me finish tuning this guitar...

Yo, y'all ready for the show?

[Lauryn "L-Boogie" Hill (Chorus)] (Wyclef in parentheses)

Ready Or Not! (Yo!) - Wyclef

Here we come! (Uh Huh)

All the biting M.C.'s and the pirates, I go run! (Come on, come on)

(Why?)'Cause they are old!

(And...) And we are young!

(Uh huh...and) And while we're young, yes we're gonna have some fun! (Yo!)

(Here it comes) Here we go!

Skippity bop bop bop, skippity whoa!! Swing! (Yo, Yo, Yo, Yo!)

Skippity bop bop bop, skippity WHOA!!! SWING!! (Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!)

[Wyclef]

You should've have died before you reach this station, Refugees we run the

border!

Ay! Ay!...Ay! Ay!

You should've have died before you reach this station, Refugees we all go

murder!

Now!!!

[Wyclef]

Yo! Now that I escape, selling four million plates

My beeper vibrates, like California earthquakes

But I keep a balanced head, 'cause you're hot, they're not

M.C.'s go Hollywood, then lose their spot on the jukebox

Still ichi bang, wack M.C.'s get the gong!

Lyrical tongue

Wireless mics from Samsung

Wyclef, seduced once by an actress

Angela Basset wanted the head of Jean Baptiste

Meanwhile across town, I steal no money to Carlito

Mama always say don't gamble

I'm trapped in casino

No more money in my bags

Nightmares, getting closer

I slept on Elm Street, Freddy Kruger

Woke up with a German Luger

Black serial killer, man turns to gorilla

Provoked I change faces like Michael Jackson's Thriller

B-B-B-B-B-Boo! (Imitating young Michael Jackson)

And you don't stop!!!

[Chorus 1x]

[Wyclef]

Yo, L-Boogie where you at?

[Lauryn]

I'm just adjusting my mic

[Wyclef]

Come on, yo L-Boogie where you at?!

[Lauryn]

I'm just adjusting my mic!

[Wyclef]

Yo, L-Boogie where you at? Come on!

[Lauryn]

I'm just adjusting my mic!

[Wyclef]

Well won't ya, grab the mic and lead the blind to the light?!

[Lauryn]

If I could change the times, make rhymes, raise the babies

Give all the pigs rabies

Send biting niggas to Haiti's

Clothe young ladies

Chase the rainbow, find the pot

Free the third time offender once he learns to makes-a-lot

Lose the fame

Take the money

Play boys, just like the bunny

Find a man with a plan

Slap a chicken, If she acts funny

Break the bank, on tank

Stop niggas from acting stank

Take over your vouch free Rovers

Teach a man to find Jehovah

Own the stores, own the tours

Watch the record, pimps and whores

Make love, stop the wars

Cop the land, like the laws

Make the last be the first

Make the God respect the Earth

Change the murder rate to the birth! (Swing!)

[Chorus 1x]

[Wyclef]

Hey yo, Pras where you at?

[Prakazrel "Pras"]

I'm just adjusting my mic

[Wyclef]

Yo! Hey yo, Pras where you at?!

[Pras]

I'm just adjusting my mic!

[Wyclef]

C-C-Come on, yo Pras where you at?!!

[Pras]

I'm just adjusting my mic!

[Wyclef]

Well won't ya, grab the mic and make the crowd react!

[Prakazrel "Pras"]

No more tours, no more scores

Por favor senor, I do the soundbite from here to El Salvador

Ready to take over, Like that! (Gun cocks)

Run your whole crew over, Like that!! (Gunshot)

Buffalo soldier! Dreadlock rasta! (Lauryn in background)

Rather be slaughtered, than be captured!

Three refugees, one usual suspect

Trapped in the firm, 'cause he fell to two techs

Prospects have thoughts, blood in like outlets

I can read your whole flow, just like a pamphlet

Thousands and thousands of watts

High volt!

Body as a Q-Tip, right on the asphalt

Tell the truth that you shouldn't sky off

This is Mr. Prakazrel, I don't take it as an insult

I grab the money, money!

Stash the cash-n-dash, peddle on the gas

I'm clear like Everlast! (Never seen a refugee movin' so fast!) - Salaam

Now catch me in Jamaica

Chillin' at the break of sunsplash!

[Chorus 1x]

[Lauryn]

(Ooo-wee!) To Queens

(Ooo-wee!) To New Jersey

(Ooo-wee!) To Brooklyn

(Ooo-wee!) ...and Uptown

(Ooo-wee!) ...and Long Island

(Ooo-wee!) ...Staten Island

(Ooo-wee!) ...U.C. (University of Columbia)

(Ooo-wee!) ...Miami!

(Ooo-wee!) ...To Jamaica!
