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

 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 giddy-upin' on their horse

 I kick a rhyme drinkin' moonshine
 I poor 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

 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

 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 Eliot Ness, yes
 Bless you if you represent the Fu
 But I'll hex you with some witch's brew if you're Doo Doo, voodoo

 I can't 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

 Ready or not, here [bad word]  you can't hide
 Gonna find you and take it slowly

 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, oh, baby, hey, baby
 You can't hide from the block, oh no

 Ready or not, Refugees takin' over
 The Buffalo soldier, dread-lock rasta
 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 Guatanamo Bay
 Dance around the border like I'm Cassius Clay

 Ready or not, here [bad word]  you can't hide (Hey yo, nobody)
 Gonna find you and take it slowly
 Ready or not, here [bad word]  you can't hide (Hey yo, nobody)
 Gonna find you and make you want me

 Ready or not, here [bad word]  you can't hide (No, no, no, no)
 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
