Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I could get a dollar for every time you look at me sideways
I'll pay the Westside on Fridays to build y'all playa haters y'all own highways
Don't trip on me partner, no, uh-uh
I'm havin' visions of Bloody Mary with AIDS, tryin' to give me some nana
You can't dictate mines, what I look like to you, baby?
Besides, the feelin' is fine
All natural like oat bran, engineered like no other
Fly for life, still as a mannequin when it comes to my mother
Capricorn, baby, and I'm stubborn, just like you
So, why don't you do me a favor and tell that lie to that fool
Don't get me twisted, baby, I love you too
But when that rent and that car note come, what love gon' do?
Baby, my money's on the clock, right around the block
You see me stack big knot, my music's all I got
So, I'ma stay ready so I don't gotta get ready
'Cause I rose like King Tut and resurrected like Amadeus
[Verse 2]
If you stay ready
(Don't ask nobody, ask me, baby)
You ain't got to get ready
(Game thing go around, gon' come right back around)
If you stay ready
(Fo' sho', can ya' feel me?)
You ain't got to get ready
('Cause I can feel you)
[Verse 3]
Now, orange juice and Austy got me feelin' ladi-dadi
Flippin' through my phonebook, tryin' to find me a hottie
I can't wait to let ya' lies and just relax with
That ain't jockin' me 'cause of who I stacks with
Ain't too many, I'm comin' across qualifyin'
But I be that player from the P that's just gon' keep on tryin'
I go from A to Y, 'cause I don't know no Zs
To the Brougham, blow the brains and enjoy the breeze
These honeys got me wonderin' if I'll ever find one
That'll get me to that place where I wouldn't mind one
Out in traffic, I see many lookin' choosable
It never fails, though, I always end up usin' those
For whatever I'm needin' at that point in time
A getaway, a good one or another rhyme
I'm tired of the S.O.S. but it's real
Long as I feel 'em like I do, I guess I'm just gon' deal
[Verse 4]
If you stay ready
(Same thing make you laugh or make you cry)
You ain't got to get ready
(We ain't worried about nothin', we fly for life)
If you stay ready (What?)
You ain't got to get ready
[Verse 5]
Ay, Playa Hamm, I know they sayin', old boy, that's some classic connection
Playa for real, ya' feel me? (Oh, yeah, yeah)
Now, this the kingpin, Westside, best side, let's ride
And God bless my backbones, my homeboys like Black Tone
[Verse 6]
Bringin' it through for the true every time I speak
Sprinkles the rest like forty, but they still comin' weaker
I'ma keep it simple so the tricks can comprehend
You can never be me, only see me with a end
[Verse 7]
Well, if they ain't ripe yet, they can stay on the tree
'Cause I'm your friendly neighborhood playa partner, Suga Free
Liable to haul off and spit these Ps that'll break you to your knees
She'll lie, steal, and kill for real for me, Hamm, please
[Verse 8]
Now, what they thought, baby? We ain't comin' to raw
If she broke, she gon' get a job or break the law
They say God blessed the child, God is only so true
We ain't get it like we got it dependin' on you
[Verse 9]
Now, I can show you better than I can tell ya', so swell
No, put your clothes back on, baby
I'm into breakin' hearts, promises, and fingernails
There was no us and I put that on the Holy Ghost and four more gods
You broke my heart and I let you succeed
'Cause to a playa, that's a organ that you really don't need
Lo and behold, what good is havin' a heart if it can break and be rebroke?
So if you stay ready, what you gon' have to get ready for?
[Verse 10]
If you stay ready
(I'm kingpin for life, y'all)
You ain't got to get ready
If you stay ready
(I pin the tail on the funky enough)
You ain't got to get ready
(And shocked her with this funky stuff)
If you stay ready
(Why you bullshittin'?)
You ain't got to get ready
(What's happenin'?)
If you stay ready
(Kingpin for life)
You ain't got to get ready
(Kingpin for life, y'all, fo' sho')
