Gettin' Ready lyrics

[Intro]

Please don't bring me down

[Chorus]

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)

I'm gettin' ready (ready), I'm gettin' ready (ready)

[Verse 1]

Uh-huh, uh-huh, one, two, Coffee comin' thru

L-leavin' trails of mix w-with my Godly clique

So you better move on out of my way-hey-hey

I'm gettin' ready keep it steady

My face is glowin' bright with expedient ingredients

In the blink of an eye, I'll be gone, but didn't die

Demons get clowned

Tryin' to get with my crew, for real though

What's up? What's up, I got my rhymes in sync

The style I have's prettier than the cast on Models Inc

Thinkin' to myself, in heaven what they eat

What outfit will I wear when I'm on the golden street?

Hmm, tough choices I have to make daily

Will I feel outta place, foreign, like I was Israeli?

What a bridge to cross, but I'll cross it when it comes

Take Tums to settle my stomach from all the excitement

Going down all around my playground

Steer clear of Guillotines, sharp as a machete

I'm gettin ready

[Chorus]

I'm gettin' ready (ready), I'm gettin' ready (ready)

[Verse 2]

Welcome to McGotee, huh how may I help you?

Today we have a special on Grits with extra butta

Helpings a heepin', don't sleep and let your Grits get cold

Get it while its hot and wash it down with some Sweet Tea

But if that's not your flavor, I'm sure here is one you'll savor

A fat cup of coffee with a little bit of cream

Caffination will continue in you, I expand like gas

Excuse me, indigestion in your chest my volumes mass

Don't need no type of sweetener cause I'm strictly heterosexual

Next you will try to add more cream but black is beautiful

Plentiful, many are the flavors I regurgitate

Relate, if you can't have a bowl of understand

A bowl of understand if you will I am he

I illustrate through clever statement items on the menu

Continuance must commence of our daily special

Thresholds let go when consuming every bit

So use a little tablespoon cause a teaspoon's a teaser

Gettin' ready, yea you better cause I'm in it for eternity

[Chorus]

I'm gettin' ready (ready), I'm gettin' ready (ready)

[Verse 3]

I put my pants on one leg at time to get prepared

Showin' no fear but still scared

Of what's to come, to this world what will be done

What a sight that will be, a sight that will be

Get your loins girded, verses rewarded

Rephrased and glazed from my lips

There you have it dagnabbit

[Verse 4]

How was everything? Was it alright? We aim to please M.C.'s

Slip in the grease from the butta watch ya step

Here's a peppermint, pop it in for your halitosis

After dinner mints important for the facial contortion

From the funk in your ear traveling down your esophagus

Filtered through your lungs, out ya mouth, ain't no stoppin' us

[Chorus]

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)

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)

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)

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)

I'm gettin' ready
