Ready or not, here I come, you can't hideGonna find you and take it slowlyReady or not, here I come, you can't hideGonna find you and make you want meNow that I escape, sleepwalker awakeThose who could relate know the world ain't cakeJail bars ain't golden gatesThose who fake, they breakWhen they meet their 400-pound mateIf I could rule the worldEveryone would have a gun in the ghetto of courseWhen giddyuping on their horseI kick a rhyme drinking moonshineI pour a sip on the concrete, for the deceasedBut no don't weep, Wyclef's in a state of sleepThinking bout the robbery that I did last weekMoney in the bag, banker looked like a dragI want to play with pelicans from here to BaghdadGun blast, think fast, I think I'm hitMy girl pinched my hips to see if I still existI think not, I'll send a letter to my friendsA Born Again hooligan only to be king againReady or not, here I come, you can't hideGonna find you and take it slowlyReady or not, here I come, you can't hideGonna find you and make you want meI play my enemies like a game of chess, where I restNo stress, if you don't smoke sess, lestI must confess, my destiny's manifestIn some Goretex and sweats I make treks like I'm homelessRap orgies with Porgy and BessCapture your bounty like Elliot Ness, yesBless you if you represent the FuBut I'll hex you with some witch's brewIf you're doo-doo, voodooI can do what you do, easy, believe meFronting niggas give me hee-bee-gee-beesSo while you're imitating Al Capone, I'll be Nina SimoneAnd defecating on your microphoneReady or not, here I come, you can't hideGonna find you and take it slowlyYou can't run awayFrom these styles I got, oh baby, hey babyCause I got a lot, oh yeahAnd anywhere you goMy whole crew's gonna know baby, hey babyYou can't hide from the block, oh noReady or not, refugees taking overThe Buffalo Soldier, dreadlock RastaOn the twelfth hour, fly by in my bomberCrews run for coverNow they're under pushing up flowersSuperfly true lies, do or dieToss me high - only puff laWith my crew from lock highI refugee from Guantanamo BayDance around the border like I'm Cassius ClayReady or not, here I come, you can't hideGonna find you and take it slowlyReady or not, here I come, you can't hideGonna find you and make you want meReady or not, here I come, you can't hideGonna find you and take it slowlyReady or not, here I come, you can't hideGonna find you and make you want me
