If U Stay Ready

(альбом: Street Gospel - 1997)

[Suga Free:]
If I could get a dollar, for everytime you look at me sideways
I'll pay the Westside on Friday's to build y'all playa haters y'all own highways
Don't trip on me partner, no uh-uh
I'm having visions of Bloody Mary with AIDS trying to give me some nana
You can't dictate mines, what I look like to you baby?
Besides the feeling 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'm a stay ready so I don't gotta get ready
Cause I rose like King Tut and resurrect it like Amadeus

[Chorus:]
If you stay ready
(Don't ask nobody, ask me baby)
You ain't got to get ready
(Same thing go around gon' come right back around)
If you stay ready
(Fa sho, can ya feel me?)
You ain't got to get ready
(Cause I can feel you)

[Playa Hamm:]
Now, orange juice and Austy got me feeling lodi dodi
Flipping through my phone book trying to find me a hottie
I can't wait to let ya lies and just relax with
That ain't jocking me 'cause of who I stacks with
Ain't too many I'm coming across qualifying
But I be that player from the P that's just gon' keep on trying
I go from A to Y, 'cause I don't know no Z's
To the Brougham, blow the brains and enjoy the breeze
These hunnies got me wondering 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 looking choosable
It never fails though, I always end up using those
For whatever I'm needing at that point in time
A get-away, 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

[Chorus:]
If you stay ready
(Same thing make you laugh will make you cry)
You ain't got to get ready
(We ain't worried about nothing, we fly for life)
If you stay ready... (What?)
You ain't got to get ready

[Suga Free:]
Hey Playa Hamm, I know they saying oh boy that's come classic connection
Playa for real, ya 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

[Playa Hamm:]
Bringing it through for the true everytime I speak
Sprinkles the rest like '40, but they still coming weaker
I'm a keep it simple so the tricks can comprehend
You can never be me, only see me with a end

[Suga Free:]
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 P's that'll break you to your knees
She'll lie, steal and kill for real for me, Hamm please

[Playa Hamm:]
Now what they thought baby? We ain't coming to raw
If she broke she gon' get a job, or break the law
They say God blessed the child, God is on it so true
We ain't get it like we got it depending on you

[Suga Free:]
Now I can show ya better than I can tell ya, so swell
No, put your clothes back on baby
I'm into breaking hearts, promises and fingernails
There was no I's... And I put that on the Holy Ghost and four more God's
You broke my heart and I let you succeed
Cause to a playa that's a organ that you really don't need
Low and behold, what good is having a heart if it can break and be re-broke?
So if you stay ready what you gon' have to get ready for?

[Chorus:]
If you stay ready
(Kingpin for life y'all)
You ain't got to get ready
(Kingpin... ah ah)
If you stay ready
(I pin the tail on the funky enough)
You ain't got to get ready
(And shocks 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)

You know... straight game...
Never... game... DJ Quik... what's up baby?
Playa Hamm... G-One... Robert Bacon... yeah
