Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Operator, can I help you?
I hope so, baby
Can you put me through to the Fugees bootleg hotline?
Please hold while I connect your call
[Verse 2]
Now check this out
I could say I want joints
Don't be jiving me, this is cool DJ Red Alert
You make 'em, I play them
That's right
[Verse 3]
Ready or not, here I come
Clark Kent make the remix real, real fun
Hold me down
Don't forget y'all, Clark Kent 19-9, whatever
For the remix, y'all
[Verse 4]
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, you can't run away
From these stars I got, oh baby
Hey baby, 'cause I got a lot, oh yeah
[Verse 5]
Ready or not, anywhere you go
My whole crew gonna know, oh baby
Hey baby, you can't hide from the blind, oh yeah
[Verse 6]
Now that I escaped, selling 5 million plates
My beeper vibrates like California earthquakes
But I keep a balanced head 'cause you're hot then not
MC's go Hollywood, they lose they spot on the jukebox
Still itchy burn, whack MC's get the gong
Lyrical tongue, wireless mics from Samsung
[Verse 7]
Wyclef seduce ones, buying actors
Angela Bassett wanted the head of John the Baptist
Meanwhile across town I still no running to Carlito
Mama always said don't gamble
I'm trapped in Casino, no more money in my bags
Nightmares getting closer
I slept on Elm Street, Freddie Kreuger
Woke up with a German Lugar
Black serial killer, man turns to gorilla
Provoked, I change faces like Michael Jackson's Thriller
[Verse 8]
(Ready or not, ready or not) And you don't stop
Sometimes the refugees gotta take a stand and break
If any joker comes contesting of a life we take
'Cause when we coming hard to dance, beyond a specialist
Some scientists, lyricists, pop your Guinness'
[Verse 9]
(Ready or not)
Sometimes the refugees gotta take a stand and break
If any joker comes contesting of a life we take
'Cause when we coming hard to dance, beyond a specialist
Some scientists, lyricists, pop your Guinness'
[Verse 10]
If I could change the time and make the rounds raise the babies
Give all the pigs rabies, send by indicas to Haites
Clothe young ladies, chase the rainbow, fall apart
Freed a third time offender once he learned to mix a lot
Lose the fame, take the money, playboy, just like the bunny
Find a man with a plan, stack the chicken if she act funny
Break the bank, own tanks, stop **** from acting stank
Take over, give out free rovers, teach a man to find Jehovah
[Verse 11]
On the tours, on the stores
Watch the records, pimps and whores
Make love, stop the wars
Cop the land like the Moors
Pick the last, be the first, make God respect the Earth
Change the murder rate to the verse
[Verse 12]
Ready or not, here I come
You can't hide (Ready or not)
Gonna find you and take it slowly
Ready or not, here I come
You can't hide (Ready or not)
Gonna find you and make you want me
[Verse 13]
No more tours, no more scores
Por favor señor, like Ted Cruz, like a bull to a matador
Run you for your Range Rover
Like that, leave you in a broken Nova, like that
[Verse 14]
Buffalo Soldier, dreadlock Rasta
Rather be slaughtered then be captured
Three refugees, one unusual suspect
A snitch at the table, how far will your trust get?
Less got you busted, unlocking my vaults
Body executed right on the asphalt
Tell the youth that you shouldn't skylark
Marky Mark, like a narc, as the beasts in New York
[Verse 15]
(Ready or not) You can't run away
From these stars I got, oh baby
Hey baby, 'cause I got a lot, oh yeah
(Ready or not) Anywhere you go
My whole crew gonna know, oh baby
Hey baby, you can't hide from the blind, oh no
[Verse 16]
Sometimes the refugees gotta take a stand and break
If any joker comes contesting of a life we take
'Cause when we coming hard to dance, we are the specialists
Some scientists, lyricists, pop your Guinness'
[Verse 17]
Sometimes the refugees gotta take a stand and break
If any joker comes contesting of a life we take
'Cause when we coming hard to dance, we are the specialists
Some scientists, lyricists, pop your Guinness'
[Verse 18]
Sometimes the refugees gotta take a stand and break
If any joker comes contesting of a life we take
'Cause when we coming hard to dance, we are the specialists
Some scientists, lyricists, pop your Guinness'
[Verse 19]
(Ready or not, ready or not)
(Ready or not, ready or not)
(Ready or not, ready or not)
(Ready or not, ready or not)
[Verse 20]
Rough house
Hey yo, it's Forte from Refugee camp, let me speak to Jeff Wells
You this is he, what's up, lil Jay?
What's happening Jeff, man?
What's the deal with them tryna bootleg my record, still
I don't know man, bootleg?
Yeah man, word is on the street, man, they playing it everywhere, man
Hey, if it's gonna blow, let it blow, man
Alright man, but I'm watching you
Hey, I got your back
Alright then
Alright buddy, peace
