[Chorus]
Bmready or not here I come F#myou cant hide
I'm gonna Gfind you and Dtake it F#mslowly
[Verse]
BmNow that I escape, sleepwalker awake
F#mThose who could relate know the world ain't cake
GJail bars ain't golden gates
Those who fake, they Dbreak,
When they meet their F#m400 pound mate
BmIf I could rule the world
Everyone would have a gun in the gF#mhetto of course
When giddy-upin' on their horse
GI kick a rhyme drinkin' moonshine
I pour a sip on Dthe concrete, fF#mor the deceased
But nBmo don't weep, Wyclef's in a state of sleep
Thinkin' 'bout thF#me robbery that I did last week
GMoney in the bag, banker looked like a drag
DI wanna play with pellet guns from F#mhere to Baghdad
BmGun blast, think fast, I think I'm hit
F#mMy girl pinched my hips to see if I still exist
GI think not, I'll send a letter to my friends
DA born again hooligan only to be king agaF#min
[Lauryn Hill]
BmReady or not, here I come, F#myou can't hide
Gonna Gfind you and Dtake it F#mslowly
BmReady or not, here I come, F#myou can't hide
Gonna Gfind you and mDake you F#mwant me
[Lauryn Hill]
BmI play my enemies like a game of chess, where I F#mrest
No stress
If you don't smoke sess, lest
GI must confess, my destiny's manifest
In some Goretex Dand sweats I make tF#mreks like I'm homeless
BmRap orgies with Porgy and Bess
F#mCapture your bounty like Elliot Ness, yes
GBless you if you represent the Fu
But I'll hex Dyou with some witch'F#ms brew if you're Doo Doo Voodoo
BmI can do what you do, easy, bF#melieve me
Frontin' sucas give me hee-bee-gee-bees
GSo while you're imitating Al Capone
I'll be Nina DSimone
And defecating on yF#mour microphone
[Lauryn Hill]
BmReady or not, here I come, yF#mou can't hide
Gonna Gfind you and Dtake it sF#mlowly
BmYou can't run awF#may from these styles I got, oh Gbaby, hey baby
'Cause I got a Dlot, oh F#myeah
Bmand anywhere you go F#mmy whole crew gonna know
Oh Gbaby, hey baby
You can't Dhide from the block, F#moh no
[Pras and Lauryn Hill]
BmReady or not, refugees takin' over
The BuffF#malo soldier, dread-lock rasta
On Gthe twelfth hour, fly by in my bomber
DCrews run for cover, now they're undeF#mr pushin' up flowers
BmSuperfly true lies, do or die
Toss me hF#migh only puff la
With my crew from lakay
GI refugee from Guantanamo Bay
DDance around the border like I'm F#mCassius Clay
Yes, sir
[Lauryn Hill]
