[Chorus]
Bm                       F#m
ready or not here I come you cant hide
          G            D       F#m
I'm gonna find you and take it slowly
[Verse]
Bm
Now that I escape, sleepwalker awake
F#m
Those who could relate know the world ain't cake
G
Jail bars ain't golden gates
                     D
Those who fake, they break,
                     F#m
When they meet their 400 pound mate
Bm
If I could rule the world
                                  F#m
Everyone would have a gun in the ghetto of course
When giddy-upin' on their horse
G
I kick a rhyme drinkin' moonshine
               D               F#m
I pour a sip on the concrete, for the deceased
     Bm
But no don't weep, Wyclef's in a state of sleep
                 F#m
Thinkin' 'bout the robbery that I did last week
G
Money in the bag, banker looked like a drag
D                                 F#m
I wanna play with pellet guns from here to Baghdad
Bm
Gun blast, think fast, I think I'm hit
F#m
My girl pinched my hips to see if I still exist
G
I think not, I'll send a letter to my friends
D                                        F#m
A born again hooligan only to be king again
[Lauryn Hill]
Bm                         F#m
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
      G            D       F#m
Gonna find you and take it slowly
Bm                         F#m
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
      G             D      F#m
Gonna find you and make you want me
[Lauryn Hill]
Bm                                              F#m
I play my enemies like a game of chess, where I rest
No stress
If you don't smoke sess, lest
G
I must confess, my destiny's manifest
                D                  F#m
In some Goretex and sweats I make treks like I'm homeless
Bm
Rap orgies with Porgy and Bess
F#m
Capture your bounty like Elliot Ness, yes
G
Bless you if you represent the Fu
             D                   F#m
But I'll hex you with some witch's brew if you're Doo Doo Voodoo
Bm                           F#m
I can do what you do, easy, believe me
Frontin' sucas give me hee-bee-gee-bees
G
So while you're imitating Al Capone
            D
I'll be Nina Simone
                   F#m
And defecating on your microphone
[Lauryn Hill]
Bm                          F#m
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
      G            D        F#m
Gonna find you and take it slowly
Bm              F#m                           G
You can't run away from these styles I got, oh baby, hey baby
               D       F#m
'Cause I got a lot, oh yeah
Bm                 F#m
and anywhere you go my whole crew gonna know
   G
Oh baby, hey baby
          D                    F#m
You can't hide from the block, oh no
[Pras and Lauryn Hill]
Bm
Ready or not, refugees takin' over
        F#m
The Buffalo soldier, dread-lock rasta
   G
On the twelfth hour, fly by in my bomber
D                                    F#m
Crews run for cover, now they're under pushin' up flowers
Bm
Superfly true lies, do or die
         F#m
Toss me high only puff la
With my crew from lakay
G
I refugee from Guantanamo Bay
D                                F#m
Dance around the border like I'm Cassius Clay
Yes, sir
[Lauryn Hill]
Bm                         F#m
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
      G            D        F#m
Gonna find you and take it slowly
Bm                         F#m
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
      G            D        F#m
Gonna find you and make you want me
Bm                         F#m
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
      G            D        F#m
Gonna find you and take it slowly
Bm                         F#m
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
      G            D        F#m
Gonna find you and make you want me
