Ready Or Not, Here [bad word]  You Can't Hide 
Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly 
Ready Or Not, Here [bad word]  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 [bad word] 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, 
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.

[LAURYN'S INTERLUDE]

You [bad word] 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  [bad word] for cover, now they're under pushin' up flowers 
Superfly [bad word] 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 
 [bad word] (Lauryn) REPEAT 3X:]

Ready Or Not, Here [bad word]  You Can't Hide 
Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly 
Ready Or Not, Here [bad word]  You Can't Hide 
Gonna Find You and Make You Want Me
