I'm Gettin' Ready

Side two

As we proceed to give you what you need

Are

Here we go

You

Oh, oh, it's gonna

Ready?

It’s gonna be a toe jam tonight

As we do it like this

On the warm up tip

And let you know

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

So here it goes like this

On the warm up tip

And we gonna funk it up like this

On the old song

One morning I had a dream

I could make the young ladies scream

By makin' musical sounds with my mouth (Listen)

So, I tried it at a party

And people didn't even know it was me

And when they finally saw me, I heard a shout (Like that)

To see a crowd just dazed and amazed

And then everybody eyes just gazed

Upon the man we know as Doug E. F-R-E-S-H

And to prove to you and the crew

Who I am and what I do

And now is it because I know how to kiss? Or

And the ladies can't resist

A-plus they love it when I go like

When I go like

Go, go, go like

When I go like

When I, when I go like

When I go like this

'Cause I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

Alright

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

Now every, every, every, every, every, ev

Every rhyme I made is no mistake

And I'm giving you more and you can be sure the new kid tapes

In the projects, buildings, the tenements, the palaces

You work hard, you're bound to get callouses

On your hand and every woman and man

And I'm givin' you more than you can stand

I'm ready and willin'

C-C-C-Cold Chillin'

Gettin' paid, I'm wearing silks and suede

Go to Barbados and cool in the shade

Do my exercise, keep nice and trim

Go down to the beach for a real cool swim

And all the ladies say let's talk to him

He-he, let's talk to him

Hey, hey, I got brown eyes and a brown complexion

Keep my hair up to perfection

Believe in the saying you are what you eat

That's the main reason why I don't eat meat

But I can say a fresh rhyme off a fresh beat

And like, and like, and like, and like I'm on the mic

Like, and on the mic I like

And like Adam and Eve we're gonna try to achieve

What most people out here would disbelieve

DJ's cuts so hard that it's hard to breathe

Make the best DJ's in the place want to leave

Chill Will, Barry, where y'all goin'?

Y'all out of here?

Yeah

Well, I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

Break it down

I wanna hear you say

Nah, nah, nah, nah

(Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Nah, nah, nah, nah

(Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Nah, nah, nah, nah

(Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

Hey

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

Uh huh

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready (Ready)

I'm gettin' ready

And you know, they're gonna

'Cause it's everlasting, broadcasting

I don't eat meat 'cause right now I'm fasting

Secure and safe, and oh my God

Doin' so damn good when times are hard

And loved through every continent

Have statues, streets and a monument

Have a statue looking right at you

And have streets named after Hip-hop beats

Let MC's know that bitin’ from me
