| Get ready! |
| to forgive and forget.
|
| get ready! |
| live 'n let live for a sec!
|
| let em talk bout respect — when they don´t know the half.
|
| think they got it all figured out, but can’t do the math.
|
| they wanna clash 'n beef, when i ask for peace.
|
| check my calendar kid, time runs fast this week!
|
| i live great on tour, while you hate cus you bored.
|
| if you got so much to say, get in the booth and record!
|
| but get ready! |
| your kind will debate bout you.
|
| get ready! |
| don’t mind what they say bout you.
|
| get ready! |
| you’ll find it true, when you grow up a little,
|
| the war is not between me and you. |
| i’m sad to say it’s way bigger.
|
| it´s not bout rap-music, rowdy kids or graf crews, it’s
|
| big business, big issues, let’s not loose it!
|
| don´t let em kill kids, drop charges on real pigs,
|
| drop bombs and act like it´s a freedom fight — they guilty!
|
| they filthy, and you talk bout who´s the realest emcee?
|
| who´ll give a fuck when there´s no freedom of speech.
|
| for when we step on stage — get ready!
|
| for when this shit goes down — get ready!
|
| for when you meet the love of your life — get ready!
|
| for your unborn children — get ready!
|
| This shit is bigger than hiphop we gotta kill cops, and build plots.
|
| move into mountain hilltops.
|
| leave babylon cus on the route we on
|
| we’re heading for disaster faster than the autobahn.
|
| i’m out to warn, scream and shout: it’s on!
|
| start the revolution now or ain’t no doubt we gone.
|
| then what good did it do to rep our hoods little crew.
|
| dis other rappers, say: i’m better than you!
|
| when music is a mission not a competition.
|
| now i hear you dissin', frontin' and bitchin'
|
| about: he probably wack, can’t make a partytrack.
|
| fuck that. |
| i pump the beat till the beast get a heartattack.
|
| a part of rap like battlin' and all of that,
|
| but before i kill emcees i kill the police.
|
| i’m really for peace, love and equality,
|
| but it seems the police love to follow me,
|
| because i' m hiphop. |
| i never felt the pressure from the hype.
|
| not the type to give a fuck — spit it in the mike!
|
| cus i never aspired to be the best of all,
|
| only here to inspire the rest of y’all
|
| …to stand tall. |
| get up, stand up for your rights.
|
| my people know what i mean. |
| yeah, sure you’re right!
|
| unite, focus on the real things in life.
|
| stay away from all irrelevant things like:
|
| who got the most dough? |
| who got the best flow?
|
| who gives a fuck when it’s our turn to go? |
| get ready!
|
| for when the music hits you — get ready!
|
| for when the judgement hits you — get ready!
|
| for when the truth hits you — get ready!
|
| for when love hits you — get ready!
|
| for when the people fight back — get ready!
|
| for when nature strikes back — get ready!
|
| for the looptroop terrorists- get ready!
|
| for david vs. goliath — get ready!
|
| When your friends is gone who’s gonna save you?
|
| and when the money is gone who’s gonna pay you?
|
| and when you keep telling the same lies as they do,
|
| who’s gonna believe what you say’s true?
|
| cus in the end when the judgement comes,
|
| who cares if you’re a millionaire, rap star or bum?
|
| what’s that car gonna do when you lost your girl?
|
| what’s that cigar gonna do when it’s war in the world?
|
| what good is green when love is washed away?
|
| what good is cream when happiness never come to stay?
|
| when shit just don’t seem to go your way
|
| who is there tellin' you everything is gonna be okay?
|
| while you were talking about whether this or that’s true,
|
| we gave the people a voice and somebody to look up to.
|
| i don’t live and die for diamonds and ends
|
| and i don’t live and die for the four elements.
|
| yeah, i rap but is hip hop my life?
|
| who gives a fuck when millions of kids starve tonight. |
| get ready.
|
| for when it’s time to speak up — get ready!
|
| for when it’s time to shut up — get ready!
|
| for when the world is burning — get ready!
|
| for when it’s time to stand up — get ready!
|
| for when the judgement comes — get ready!
|
| for when the police comes — get ready!
|
| for when they drop the bombs — get ready!
|
| for when you hear the next song — get ready! |
