Ready or not

[CHORUS:]
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,
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
VOO DOO,
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
