Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All generation love the musical speng
The African man a instruct you again
In a traditional style for real a god send
Vibes to conquer duppy vibes to make us boom beng
Ruticle flavour well and nice and ting
Crowd a people just a bubble crowd a people just a sing
No say them love the old school feeling
Coz the people bawl yes every time a sing a sing

Are you ready tell me are you ready?
Are you ready then follow me now

So once in a while you find a style that is so appealing
Sets your heart reeling
Whole heap of feeling feel like spiritual healing
Makes you want to jump jump jump to the ceiling
Vibes are receiving take some believing
The spirit is strong come along ready for achieving
You know unity is what I am needing
Just to get along we got to keep on believing

Are you ready tell me are you ready?
Are you ready then follow me now
(Are you ready, let's go, let's go)
Are you ready tell me are you ready?
Are you ready then follow me now
(Let's go, let's go, let's go)

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

No gain without pain we should all realise
To grow into life you got know your size
No use in pretending to know it all
And when it comes to the test you stall
Like you've been living in a dream
To be suddenly aware it's not what it seems
To some the realisation is so hard
So hard, so hard

Are you ready tell me are you ready?
People are you ready then follow me now
Then follow me now

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

When we sting you know we don't stall
Round the bandstand crowd of people we call
Gather round let's bounce the ball
You could be four foot one or nine foot tall
It really doesn't matter there's enough to share
In demand here there and everywhere
Because positive direction where we coming from
Ancestors you know A.F.R.rican

So fix up your movement fix up your plan
Don't forget your moral obligation
To your self singular uno number one
Maroon Town come for cause a boom bam
New design ska band have clout
To cook up session
The jam sticky in a cool version
Yes the jam sticky in a cool version

Are you ready tell me are you ready?
Are you ready then follow me now
Are you ready massive are you ready?
Are you ready then follow me now
Are you ready?




Are you ready?
Are you ready now?
