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, Nostress
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 ElliotNess,
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 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
