Looptroop Rockers - Get Ready lyrics

Yo man, stop bullshitting
The clock's ticking
Get your written life together, it's time to

Get ready to forgive and forget
Get ready, live 'n' let live for a sec'
Let 'em talk 'bout respect
Though 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 'cause 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 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
You talk 'bout who's the realest MC
Who'll give a fuck when there's
No freedom of speech? Get ready
(Get up, get ready, yah)
(Get ready, yah, yah, yah)

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 hip hop
We gotta kill cops and build plots
Move into mountain hilltops
Leave Babylon, 'cause 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 party track" fuck that
I pump the beat 'til the
Beast get a heart attack
A part of rap, like battlin' and all of that
But before I kill MCs, I kill the police
I'm really for peace, love and equality
But it seems the police love to follow me
Because I'm hip hop
I never felt the pressure from the hype
Not the type to give a fuck
Spit it in the mic
'Cause, 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 hit's you, get ready
For when the judgement hit's you, get ready
For when the truth hit's you, get ready
For when love hit's 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 versus Goliath, get ready

Yo, 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 is true?
'Cause 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
