Fugees Ready Or Not Lyrics

Ready Or Not Lyrics

[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
