Ready Or Not — Fugees
Wyclef
Im just about done...
Yo, let me finish tuning this guitar...
Yo, yall ready for the show?
Lauryn "L-Boogie" Hill (Chorus)
Ready or not! (yo!) - wyclef
Here we come! (uh huh)
All the biting m.c.s and the pirates, I go run! (come on, come on)
(why? )cause they are old!
(and...) and we are young!
(uh huh...and) and while were young, yes were gonna have some fun! (yo!)
(here it comes) here we go!
Skippity bop bop bop, skippity whoa!! swing! (yo, yo, yo, yo!)
Skippity bop bop bop, skippity whoa!!! swing!! (yo! yo! yo! yo! yo!)
Wyclef
You shouldve have died before you reach this station, refugees we run the
Border!
Ay! ay!...ay! ay!
You shouldve have died before you reach this station, refugees we all go
Murder!
Now!!!
Wyclef
Yo! now that I escape, selling four million plates
My beeper vibrates, like california earthquakes
But I keep a balanced head, cause youre hot, theyre not
M.c.s go hollywood, then lose their spot on the jukebox
Still ichi bang, wack m.c.s get the gong!
Lyrical tongue
Wireless mics from samsung
Wyclef, seduced once by an actress
Angela basset wanted the head of jean baptiste
Meanwhile across town, I steal no money to carlito
Mama always say dont gamble
Im trapped in casino
No more money in my bags
Nightmares, getting closer
I slept on elm street, freddy kruger
Woke up with a german luger
Black serial killer, man turns to gorilla
Provoked I change faces like michael jacksons thriller
B-b-b-b-b-boo! (imitating young michael jackson)
And you dont stop!!!
Chorus 1X
Wyclef
Yo, l-boogie where you at?
Lauryn
Im just adjusting my mic
Wyclef
Come on, yo l-boogie where you at? !
Lauryn
Im just adjusting my mic!
Wyclef
Yo, l-boogie where you at? come on!
Lauryn
Im just adjusting my mic!
Wyclef
Well wont ya, grab the mic and lead the blind to the light? !
Lauryn
If I could change the times, make rhymes, raise the babies
Give all the pigs rabies
Send biting niggas to haitis
Clothe young ladies
Chase the rainbow, find the pot
Free the third time offender once he learns to makes-a-lot
Lose the fame
Take the money
Play boys, just like the bunny
Find a man with a plan
Slap a chicken, if she acts funny
Break the bank, on tank
Stop niggas from acting stank
Take over your vouch free rovers
Teach a man to find jehovah
Own the stores, own the tours
Watch the record, pimps and whores
Make love, stop the wars
Cop the land, like the laws
Make the last be the first
Make the God respect the earth
Change the murder rate to the birth! (swing!)
Chorus 1X
Wyclef
Hey yo, pras where you at?
Prakazrel "Pras"
Im just adjusting my mic
Wyclef
Yo! hey yo, pras where you at? !
Pras
Im just adjusting my mic!
Wyclef
C-c-come on, yo pras where you at? !!
Pras
Im just adjusting my mic!
Wyclef
Well wont ya, grab the mic and make the crowd react!
Prakazrel "Pras"
No more tours, no more scores
Por favor senor, I do the soundbite from here to el salvador
Ready to take over, like that! (gun cocks)
Run your whole crew over, like that!! (gunshot)
Buffalo soldier! dreadlock rasta! (lauryn in background)
Rather be slaughtered, than be captured!
Three refugees, one usual suspect
Trapped in the firm, cause he fell to two techs
Prospects have thoughts, blood in like outlets
I can read your whole flow, just like a pamphlet
Thousands and thousands of watts
High volt!
Body as a q-tip, right on the asphalt
Tell the truth that you shouldnt sky off
This is mr. prakazrel, I dont take it as an insult
I grab the money, money!
Stash the cash-n-dash, peddle on the gas
Im clear like everlast! (never seen a refugee movin so fast!) - salaam
Now catch me in jamaica
Chillin at the break of sunsplash!
Chorus 1X
Lauryn
(ooo-wee!) to queens
(ooo-wee!) to new jersey
(ooo-wee!) to brooklyn
(ooo-wee!) ...and uptown
(ooo-wee!) ...and long island
(ooo-wee!) ...staten island
(ooo-wee!) ...u.c. (university of columbia)
(ooo-wee!) ...miami!
(ooo-wee!) ...to jamaica!
