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. 



     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
