[will.i.am - Intro] (Phonte) 
Ready or not... (Ready or not...) 
Ready or not... (Ready or not...) 
Ready or not... (Ready or not...) 
Ready or not... (Ready or not...) 
Ready or not... - It's time to go 
Ready or not... - It's time to go 
Ready or not... - It's time to go 
Ready or not... - It's time to go 

[Phonte - Verse 1ne] 
Uh.. 
This is my last day, this is my last era 
Wifey sittin front [bad word] her mascara 
And I'm laid out STIFF like my last pair of 
starch jeans; it seems that all my past errors 
don't even matter 'cause, I ain't even mad at God 
I just think the saddest part is I don't wanna go 
'Cause who the [bad word] knows for, whom the bell tolls 
I was, chillin with muy peoples just, out on Melrose 
with Blu and Evidence lampin in our shelltoes 
Drainkin brew and tappin [bad word] on the el-bow 
then WHOA!! - Another chapter closes well 
When they start to toll, it's just yo' time to bail, yeah 

 [bad word]  will.i.am] 
Some people live their life to die 
Some people live to try, and fly, and fly sky high 
Some people live their life to ride 
Ride 'cause they riders, some people talk that jive 
Some people live their life to lie 
I live my life to open up my eyes real wide, wi-wide 
Some people wanna live blind and walk the road 
Oh, no - for whom the bell tolls 

[Evidence - Verse 2wo] 
Uh, bells and whistles, they shootin, could smell the pistols 
They never EVER hit or miss - it's the real official 
Bullseye target, like New Jack Carter 
The harder it gets, the more I find the market off sparkin the Flint {*matches strike*} 
Part of me says, "Go back home" 
The other half says, "Get that throne" (y'know?) 
So I spit words, they read like palms 
and turn directions from East to North (oh!) 
We can't stop nature takin its course 
But I can report, so I stay with my hand on record 
Lookin for the next future resort 
to reside in a time where bell rings and people are dyin 
I'll just try to escape to this place in my mind 

 [bad word]  will.i.am] 
Some people live their life to die 
Some people live to try, and fly, and fly sky high 
Some people live their life to lie 
I live my life to open up my eyes real wide, wi-wide 
Some people wanna live blind and walk the road 
Oh, no - for whom the bell tolls 

[Blu - Verse 3hree] 
Aiyyo, ashes to ashes and dust to dust 
RIP Jay Dee, DJ Dust - this was us 
Ah, back when it was cool to bust, picture us 
Eighty plus, surrounded by the crowd wit'out a mic to clutch 
Years passed and now and then I light it up 
Reflect and get inspired by the fire that's inside of us 
Dealin with the yadda-yadda, by-the by-the business 
try to ditch ya like economy 
(Why?) 'Cause John wasn't about to be politick-in (maaaan) 
It's the middle of '08 and I still ain't heard Obama speak 
'bout problems that we face, I'ma tryna get this cheese 
'Cause you never know, who shall tolls the bell's toll folk 
Young folks are old folks, when it's time to go, it's time to go, folks 
Stroke, croaks, cloats, and ghost 
I hold hope, blow faith in your face then fade home like.. 

 [bad word]  will.i.am] 
Some people live their life to die 
Some people live to try, and fly, and fly sky high 
Some people live their life to ride 
Ride 'cause they riders, some people talk that jive 
Some people live their life to lie 
I live my life to open up my eyes real wide, wi-wide 
Some people wanna live blind and walk the road 
Oh, no - for whom the bell tolls 

[Outro - will.i.am] 
Some people wanna live blind and walk the ro- 
Some people wanna live blind and walk the ro- 
{SOME PEOPLE WANNA LIVE BLIND AND WALK THE ROAD 
OH, NO - FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS}
