Fugees - 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.
[CHORUS]
[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
