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

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 four hundred 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

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

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` ni**as give me hee-bee-gee-bees
So while you`re imitating Al Capone I`ll be Nina Simone
And defalcating on your microphone

Ready or not, here I come, you can`t hide
Gonna find you and take it slowly

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
Oh baby, hey baby, you can`t hide from the block, oh no

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 Class

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

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
