Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ready or not, here we come
All the bitin' MC's and the pirates that go run
'Cause they are old and we are young
And while we're young, yes, we're gonna have some fun
Here we go
Skippity-bop-bop-bop, skippity-whoa-oh-oh, swing
Skippity-bop-bop-bop, skippity-whoa-oh-oh, swing
[Verse 2]
You shoulda been out here 'fore you reached the sets of Refugees
We run the border, hey-hey, hey-hey
You shoulda been out here 'fore you reached the sets of Refugees
We are the murder, Lord
[Verse 3]
Yo, now that I escape, sellin' four million plates
My people vibrates like California earthquakes
But I keep a balanced head 'cause you're hot, then not
MC's go Hollywood then lose they spot on the jukebox
Still Ichiban, wack emcees get the gong
Lyrical tongue, wireless mics from Samsung
Wyclef seduce once by an actress
Angela Bassett wanted the head of John the Baptist
Meanwhile, across town, I still owe money to Carlito
My mama always said, "Don't gamble", I'm trapped in casino
No more money in my bag, nightmares are gettin' closer
I slept on Elm Street, Freddie Krueger
Woke up with a German Luger, black's a real killer
Man turns to gorilla
Provoked, I change faces like Michael Jackson's Thriller
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
And you don't stop
[Verse 4]
Ready or not, here we come
All the bitin' emcees and the pirates that go run
'Cause they are old and we are young
And while we're young, yes, we're gonna have some fun
Here we go
Skippity-bop-bop-bop, skippity-whoa-oh-oh, swing
Skippity-bop-bop-bop, skippity-whoa-oh-oh, swing
[Verse 5]
Yo, L-Boogie, where you at?
I'm just adjusting my mic
[Verse 6]
Yo, L-Boogie, where you at?
I'm just adjusting my mic
Yo, L-Boogie, where you at?
I'm just adjusting my mic
[Verse 7]
I want ya, grab the mic and lead the blind to the light
If I could change the times, make rhymes, raise the babies
Give all the pigs rabies, send bitin' **** to Haiti
Clothe young ladies, chase the rainbow, find the pot
Free the third time offender, once he learns to makes a lot
Lose the fame, take the money, play boys just like the bunny
Find a man with a plan, slap a chicken if she act funny
Break the band, on tank, stop **** from actin' stank
Take over, give out free Rovers, teach a man to find Jehovah
Own the stores, own the tours, watch the record, pimps and whores
Make love, stop the wars, cop the land, like the laws
Make the last be the first, make the God respect the earth
Change the murder rate to the birth, swing
[Verse 8]
Ready or not, here we come
All the bitin' emcees and the pirates a go run
'Cause they are old and we are young
And while we're young, yes, we're gonna have some fun
Here we go
Skippity-bop-bop-bop, skippity-whoa-oh-oh, swing
Skippity-bop-bop-bop, skippity-whoa-oh-oh, swing
[Verse 9]
Hey yo, Pras where you at?
I'm just adjusting my mic
Hey yo, Pras where you at?
I'm just adjusting my mic
Hey yo, Pras where you at?
I'm just adjusting my mic
[Verse 10]
Well, won't ya, grab the mic and make the crowd react
No more tours, no more scores
Por favor senor, I do the samba from here to El Salvador
Ready to take over, like that
Run your whole crew over, like that
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta
Rather be slaughtered than be captured
Three refugees, one usual suspect
Trapped in the firm, 'cause he fell to two TECs
Prospects have thoughts, plug in like outlets
I can read your whole flow, just like a pamphlet
Thousands and thousands of watts, high volt
Body as a Q-Tip, right on the asphalt
Tell the truth, that you shouldn't sky off
This Mr. Pras, well, I don't take it as an insult
I grabbed the money, money
Stacked the cash and dash
Pedal on the gas, I'm clear like Everlast
Never see the youth, she moves so fast
Now catch me in Jamaica, chillin' at the break of Sunsplash
[Verse 11]
Ready or not, here we come
All the bitin' emcees and the pirates that go run
'Cause they are old and we are young
And while we're young, yes, we're gonna have some fun
Here we go
Skippity-bop-bop-bop, skippity-whoa-oh-oh, swing
Skippity-bop-bop-bop, skippity-whoa-oh-oh, swing
[Verse 12]
Yup, yup, Queens

[Verse 14]
Yo, y'all, y'all gotta hit me with that Killin' Me Softly remix
It's mad funner man
Hit me with that one time
