Ready or not here i come fugees

Fugees

Ready or not, Here I come, You can't hide
Gonna find you, and take it slowly
Ready or not, Here I come, You can't hide
Gonna find you, and make you want me

Now that I escape sleep walk away
those who convolate knows the world they hate
Jails bars ain't golden gates
those who fake they brake when they meet they four hundred pound mate
if i could rule the world, everyone who have a gun
and together of course we'd get the up in our their horse
I kick a rhyme drinking moon shine
I poor sip on the concrete, for the deceased
but no don't weep, Wyclef in a state of sleep
thinking about the robbe-RY that I did last WEEK
Money in the bag, bank a look like a drag
I wanna play with pelicans from here to Bagdad
Gun blast, think fast I think I'm hit
My girl pinch's my hips to see if I still exist
I think not, I send a letter to my friends
A born again, hooligan only to be king again

yo, I play my enemies like a game of chess
where I rest no stress if you don't smoke cess, less
i must confess my destany's manifest
to some gortex and sweats I make tracks like i'm homeless
Rap orgies with Porgie and Bess
capture your bounty like Eliot Ness YES!
Bless you if you represent the FU
but I hex you, with some witches vu if you do-do
Voodo, I could what you do, EASY!
Believe me, frontin' niggaz
gives me heebe-geebes
so why you imitatin' Al Capone
I be Nina Symone and defacating on your microphone

You can't run away from these styles I got
Oh baby, hey baby cause I got a lot oh yeah...

Anywhere you go, my whole crew gonna know
Oh baby, hey baby you can't hide from the black gold no...

Ready or not, refugees taking over
The buffalo soldier, dread like rasta
On the twelve hour flyby in my bomber
crews went for cover now they under pushin' up flowers
Superfly, true lies do or dies
toss me high only profile with my crew from Lacaille
I refugee from Guatanamo Bay,
dance around the border like I'm Cassius Clay

Fugees' 'Ready or Not' contains a prominent sample of Enya's 'Boadicea' from her 1986 self-titled album. The group did not initially clear the sample since according to Fugees member Wyclef Jean, they were not aware of sampling clearance at the time. They were later forced to later hand over the song's royalties to Enya, though Jean was still grateful to the new age artist, as she could have easily asked all copies of Fugees' album The Score to be pulled from shelves due to copyright infringement.

Enya said that she and her team were on the verge of suing the Fugees, though in the end she decided instead to settle out of court. Despite feeling like it was "important to stand up" for herself when it came to the unlicensed sampling of her music, she was still a fan of what the Fugees had created, calling the group "wonderful musicians."

"Ready or Not" is the second single from The Fugees' 1996 album The Score. The song contains a sample of Boadicea by Enya, and its chorus is based on "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)" by The Delfonics (written by Thom Bell and William Hart). The song spent two weeks atop the UK Singles Chart in September 1996. Singer Enya was prepared to sue the group for copyright infringement, because she had not permitted the group to sample the song "Boadicea", from her 1992 album The Celts. She eventually settled out of court. The song was… read more
