Lyrics Gil Scott-Heron

Gil Scott-Heron

Ready or Not

I wonder if you're ready

I'd like to introduce you to some feelings from Jamaica

Talking 'bout the reggae

Ready or not

I wonder if you're ready

I'd like to bring you closer to vibrations from Jamaica

Talking 'bout the reggae

Ready or not

You'll feel

Golden sunshine on your face

You'll smile

'Cause when the music is playing

And bodies are swaying

I wanna see you smiling

I'd like to give you cooking with the spices from Jamaica

Take you to the islands

Ready or not

I love you when you smile

You never have to travel just relax and we can take you

Take you to the islands

Ready or not

You'll feel

As the gentle breezes blow

You'll smile

When the music is playing

And bodies are swaying

Feel the beauty

Sing along

All the things we want to share with you

Are here in the sun

Talking 'bout spirit

Just you sit back

We can carry you off with the music to Jamaica

I wonder if you're ready

We got to get a move on 'cause we're going to Jamaica

Talking 'bout the reggae

Ready or not

You don't look like you're ready

I've got to give you feelings that will take you to Jamaica

Giving you the reggae

Ready or not

And you'll feel

Golden sunshine on your face

Give me your smile

'Cause the brothers be playing

Your bodies be swaying

Feel the beauty

Sing along

All the things that we want to share with you

Are here in the sun

Talking 'bout spirit

Just you sit back

Only one place that's so close to heaven is Jamaica

I wonder if you're ready

I'd like to get you feelin' like you're going to Jamaica

Take you with the reggae

Ready or not

Yeah, I'm talking 'bout the reggae

Ready or not

Talking 'bout the reggae

Ready or not

Yeah, I'm talking 'bout the reggae

Ready or not
