Ready, ready dem nuh ready yet (keep left look around)
People claim they are ready for everything but they are not, so one must be vigilant

Looka looka, ah Leftside, enuh (bidi-bang-bang-bang)
Leftside is introducing himself

It's another one
Another song is going to be performed

Yeah, yeah
It shows affirmation and agreement

Be aware of everything around you

Weh ugly ah go?
The ugly people are nowhere to be found

People are not ready for what is about to happen

Dem nuh ready yet, no dem nuh ready yet (no sah)
People are not ready yet

People are really not yet prepared

All dem ah try, dem don't ready yet (dem nuh ready)
People are making an effort, but still not capable of facing what is coming

Hey gyal

Some girls try to emulate the lady's whining dance moves, but they can't keep up with her

Asking the listener to pay attention

The lady dancing is number one

Walk out like a champion (yeah, yeah)
The lady must walk out like a winner

None ah dem nuh got it like you
There is no one like the lady dancing

Dem nuh hot like you, dem nuh shot like you, dem nuh
People aren't as hot, nor do they have swag, as the lady dancing

'Cah dem nuh ready yet, no dem nuh ready yet (dem nuh ready)
People still aren't ready yet

Said dem nuh ready yet, no dem nuh ready yet
Reaffirming that people are not ready for what is about to happen

Nuff ah dem ah try hard but dem nuh ready yet (look around)
Even though people are trying harder, they still are not ready

'Cah dem nuh ready yet, no dem nuh ready yet
Stressing that people are not prepared

Dem nuh ready yet, no dem nuh ready yet
People will never be ready enough

Said dem nuh ready yet, no dem nuh ready yet
Repeating again that people are not ready

All dem ah try, dem don't ready yet
People can try their best, but will still never be fully ready

The dance floor is heating up because the lady is dancing very well
