Skeletons in your closetItchin' to come outsideMessin' with your conscienceIn a way your face can't hideOh things are gettin' real funkyDown at the old corralAnd it's not the skunks that are stinkin'It's the stinkin' lies you tellWhat did your mama tell you about liesShe said it wasn't polite to tell a white oneWhat did your daddy tell you about liesHe said one white one turns into a black oneSo, it's gettin' ready to blowIt's gettin' ready to showSomebody shot off at the mouth andWe're gettin' ready to knowIt's gettin' ready to dropIt's gettin' ready to shockSomebody done turned up the heaterAn'a it's gettin' ready to popCrevices in your pantryNow what do we have in hereHavin' a daytime nightmareHas always been your biggest fearOh things are gettin' real crucialUp the old wazooYet you cry, why am I the victim?When the culprit's y-o-uWhat did your mama tell you about liesShe said it wasn't polite to tell a white oneWhat did your daddy tell you about liesHe said one white one turns into a black oneSo, it's gettin' ready to blowIt's gettin' ready to showSomebody shot off at the mouth andWe're gettin' ready to knowIt's gettin' ready to dropIt's gettin' ready to shockSomebody done turned up the heaterAn'a it's gettin' ready to popIt's gettin' ready to seepYou're gettin' ready to freakSomebody done picked up the talk boxWe're gettin' ready to speakIt's gettin' ready to jiveYou're gettin' ready to gelSomebody done gone let the lid offWe're gettin' ready to smellThey're gettin' ready to dealYou're gettin' ready to illSomebody done just dropped the big dimeAnd they're gettin' ready to squealIt's gettin' ready to turnWe're gettin' ready to learnSomebody done fired up the brimstoneAnd you're gettin' ready to burnIt's gettin' ready to shakeYou're gettin' ready to acheSomebody done snitched to the news crewAnd it's gettin' ready to breakYou're gettin' ready to lieThey're gettin' ready to spySomebody's been put on the hot seatAnd you're gettin' ready to fry
