Ready to Go
Bizkit Lyrics

Go fuck yourself
An aggressive opener, setting the tone for a song pushing back against critics who claim rock music is dead

Limp Bizkit
The name of the band performing the song

Oh no
A sarcastic expression of dismay in response to the idea that rock music is no longer popular

Check one-two
A sound check before beginning the song

Turn it up, come on y'all
An invitation for listeners to crank up the volume and join in

Hold up, turn it up
A request to pause briefly and then increase the volume

Y'all ready for this?
An excited question, anticipating an energetic response from the listeners

They say the rock shit, doesn't rock anymore
Responding to critics who claim rock music has lost its edge and popularity

They say the whole game done went pop so I'm back in this ho
Acknowledging that pop has become more dominant in music, but asserting that the band is still committed to rock

We drinking gin till we pass out and fall on the floor
Boasting about excessive partying and drinking, a rock-and-roll staple

Is that your bitch, 'cause she told me she's ready to go?
Accusing a listener of having a promiscuous partner who is interested in the singer

Back, it's the motherfucking rock god
A declaration of the band's prowess in the rock scene

I'm so poker-faced, ladies going Ga-Ga
A reference to popular artists Lady Gaga and Poker Face, indicating the singer's charismatic appeal to women

That's right it's Freddy D, the public enemy
Introducing the lead singer, Fred Durst, and alluding to the band's rebellious persona

You know, the one to have Britney droppin' to her knees (Oh!)
Boasting about the lead singer's sex appeal and ability to attract female celebrities (in this case, Britney Spears)

I don't give a fuck, I probably never will
Asserting that the singer doesn't care about criticism or negativity towards the band

Bitch get at me if that ass is like Jessica Biel's
Making a sexual remark and suggesting that the singer is attracted to women with a body type similar to actress Jessica Biel

Who down with me tonight? You know I'll treat you right
Asking who is ready to party and insinuating that the singer will be a good host

You shake for me until they turning on them ugly lights
Encouraging a partner to dance the night away until closing time

Throw them fingers up, and finger fuck the sky
Encouraging listeners to raise their middle fingers in defiance and enjoy the moment

She like the way we pump it, I call her pumpkin pie
Making a sexual metaphor about the way the music is being enjoyed by a partner

I ain't about to lie, I came up in it high
Admitting that the singer is under the influence of drugs while performing

You got a problem, I'll bust you in your fucking eye, player
Asserting dominance and readiness to fight any potential foes

(Baby you're a rockstar) I know who the fuck I am
Embracing and identifying with the rock-and-roll star stereotype

Forty million records later, I am still the fucking man
Boasting about the band's impressive record sales and continued success

I came to rock, all she wants to do is roll
Highlighting a difference between the singer's desire for rock and a partner's desire to party and have a good time

Now she at my house sliding up and down that pole
Bringing back the earlier accusation about a partner's promiscuity and insinuating that the singer is enjoying it

What the fuck is up, uh?
A return to the high-energy tone of the song and preparing for a new verse

Fuck the world, bust a nut
Declaring a disregard for social norms and encouraging listeners to indulge in hedonistic behavior

I'm on this and that, and such and such
Listing off different substances the singer may be under the influence of

It's ashes to ashes, dust to dust, come on
Elevating the hedonistic behavior to a spiritual level, emphasizing the limited time people have on Earth

Rock, rock, rock with a real nigga
Encouraging listeners to party with the band and enjoy the rock music

Everything I touch turn to gold, she a gold digger
Boasting about the singer's success and alluding to a partner who may be interested in the singer for his wealth

Shots, shots, shots, have a lil' liquor
Encouraging listeners to drink and enjoy the party atmosphere

Got the bitch taking shots like Reggie Miller
Making a sports reference to basketball player Reggie Miller, implying the singer is encouraging a partner to drink excessively

Uh, Lil Weezy in this bitch ho
Introducing rapper Lil Wayne as a collaborator on the song

She want the green light, let the bitch go
Allowing a partner to engage in promiscuous behavior without repercussions

I go hard, I go nuts, I go schizo
Boasting about the singer's intensity and energy

And now they wanna copy me like ten-fo'
Insinuating that the singer's unique style and approach to music have been imitated by others

I can't stop, I won't stop
Declaring a continued commitment to making music and performing

I got the pistol on me, I guess I went pop
Alluding to the band's reputation for aggressive language and behavior, and how it may have contributed to a loss of mainstream popularity

Now I'm free-falling, yeah, head first
Embracing a reckless and spontaneous lifestyle

Red hat to the back like Fred Durst, uh
Describing a fashion choice popularized by the lead singer, Fred Durst

Lil Weezy that's my partner, we drinkin' Russian vodka
Reconnecting with the collaborator, Lil Wayne, and boasting about drinking high-quality liquor

Bout to take your bitch 'cause she ain't never fucked a rock star
Returning to the earlier theme of seducing a partner who is interested in rock stars

I'm a fucking outlaw, packing me a chainsaw
Embracing a rebellious and dangerous persona, with a reference to a popular horror movie weapon

I'm at the afterparty 'bout to start another brawl
Alluding to a history of violent behavior and a disregard for social norms

I'm getting fucked up, so you can go to hell
Reiterating a disregard for social standards of behavior and morality

I'ma need a ride home, I know myself
Acknowledging that the singer's indulgent behavior may result in needing help or assistance

And you know I put it down like no one else
Boasting about the singer's unique approach to music and performance

I'm the champ bitch, I ain't gotta show the belt
Asserting dominance and self-confidence, even without formal recognition or accolades

She's ready to go, she's ready to go
Repeating the earlier accusation or insinuation that a partner is eager to engage in sexual activity

Is that your bitch, 'cause she told me she's ready to go?
Making a direct challenge or accusation towards a listener, insinuating that their partner may be interested in the singer
