ready or noT Lyrics
[Intro]
(It's all for the vibe)
Too much to say and there's not enough time
(Advance the judge above the law)
Too much to say and there's not enough time (If it don't dance, the chase is on)
(So what's up? Here I come)
(Like, ready or not, ready or not)
[Verse 1]
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you
Don't ask me, just let me show you
There's a hole in the lot
Open up, are you ready or not?"
Waited days for a knock
Board the door up, changing the lock
Still, it went down, hе found my axe wound
And said, "I just wanna talk
I got what you want, you mind if I walk in?"
[Chorus]
Chop, chop, cut a— cut away that part of me
Chop, chop, gotta, gotta finish the job
Advancе the judge above the law
If it don't dance, the chase is on
So what's up? Here I come
Like, ready or not, ready or not
[Verse 2]
I tied his arms back in a knot
Threw him in the boiling pot
Didn't know what to think
'Cause I caught a wink when I served up the coup de grâce
The tables turning, I can't kill this wicked vermin
'Cause his head rolled out of the room
Seeing red with the heat of pursuit as he blurted
"Come and find me, I can get you working
But you need a levee where I'm lurking
I'm tryna empty out my person
Catch a party underneath the surface"
(Whatever you want) "feed all your purpose"
(Whenever you want it) "to the maw of the serpent"
(Not in this timeline) Let's get this shit burning
(Ain't getting you nothing) Walk that walk, can you hit me with the
[Chorus]
Chop, chop, cut a— cut away that part of me
Chop, chop, gotta, gotta finish the job
Advance the judge above the law
If it don't dance, the chase is on
So what's up? Here I come
Like, ready or not, ready or not
[Verse 3]
Why does it have to be this way?
Even dug him an underwater grave
I thought that I could suck it all away
Minutes later, it's climbing out the drain
This shit couldn't have went any other way, any other way
You gotta be kidding, it couldn't have went any other way
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
I tied his arms back in a knot
Threw him in the boiling pot
Didn't know what to think
'Cause I caught a wink when I served up the coup de grâce
The tables turning, I can't kill this wicked vermin
'Cause his head rolled out of the room
Seeing red with the heat of pursuit as he blurted
"Come and find me, I can get you working
But you need a levee where I'm lurking
I'm tryna empty out my person
Catch a party underneath the surface"
(Whatever you want) "feed all your purpose"
(Whenever you want it) "to the maw of the serpent"
(Not in this timeline) Let's get this shit burning
(Ain't getting you nothing) Walk that walk, can you hit me with the
[Chorus]
Chop, chop, cut a— cut away that part of me
Chop, chop, gotta, gotta finish the job
Advance the judge above the law
If it don't dance, the chase is on
So what's up? Here I come
Like, ready or not, ready or not
[Verse 3]
Why does it have to be this way?
Even dug him an underwater grave
I thought that I could suck it all away
Minutes later, it's climbing out the drain
This shit couldn't have went any other way, any other way
You gotta be kidding, it couldn't have went any other way
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
[Refrain]
Advance the judge above the law
If it don't dance, the chase is on
So what's up? Here I come
Like, ready or not, ready or not
[Verse 4]
And I tried everything, but my
Wicked old beast won't die
No more spite, none of any kind
It ain't worth the time to
[Refrain]
Advance the judge above the law
If it don't dance, the chase is on
So what's up? Here I come
Like, ready or not, ready or not
[Verse 5]
So I'll let him have this place inside my safe now that I've had enough
I don't need an antidote, the sickness started paying up
Tried my best to stay in line, my face is numb, my legs are shot
No smoking gun, it can't be done, I must have missed the caveat
[Part II]
Advance the judge above the law
If it don't dance, the chase is on
So what's up? Here I come
Like, ready or not, ready or not

And I tried everything, but my
Wicked old beast won't die
No more spite, none of any kind
It ain't worth the time to
[Refrain]
Advance the judge above the law
If it don't dance, the chase is on
So what's up? Here I come
Like, ready or not, ready or not

So I'll let him have this place inside my safe now that I've had enough
I don't need an antidote, the sickness started paying up
Tried my best to stay in line, my face is numb, my legs are shot
No smoking gun, it can't be done, I must have missed the caveat

[Intro]
Sing
[Verse]
Greening out in the sun
I should probably take the last hit and run
Call the kettle black, only here to blow off steam, ah
Preach no excuses while I make some
Stuffing black mold in the main lung
I can smell my fate, they unveiled the plate, ta-da!
No one noticed
I was licking my lips like a locust
I put on a disguise for my worry
Like one of these days it'll make me complete
In the end, it means nothing to me
[Outro]
Oh, I know you well
Sing

Like one of these days it'll make me complete
In the end, it means nothing to me
