Ready Or Not
pop and chart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the fire starts killing men,
They'll be a price upon our head.
Conspiracy on the Motherland,
While our Brothers end up dead.

Well, are you ready or not? 'Cause here I come.
I'm without you, don't you live without.
Well, are you ready or not? 'Cause here I come.
I am without you. One by one innocence lost.

We terrorize and victimize
The air in which we breathe.
We must compromise and sympathize
In order to achieve.

Well, are you ready or not? 'Cause here I come.
I'm without you, don't you live without.
Well, are you ready or not? 'Cause here I come.
I am without you. One by one innocence lost.

One by one we all fall down,
Get back up and touch the ground.
Some are lost and some are never found.
One day baby, you will see,
Just how love was meant to be, innocence lost

All's lost when all lose hope.
Some find it impossible to cope.
All's lost when all lose hope.
Some find it impossible to cope.

Ready or not? 'Cause here I come.
I'm without you, don't you live without
Well, are you ready or not? 'Cause here I come




I am without you. One by one innocence is
I am without you. One by one innocence is lost

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ready Or Not by Pop and Chart speak of the fire starting to kill men and a price being put on their heads, with a conspiracy on the motherland leading to the loss of many brothers. The song seems to be a call for unity and action in the face of a threat. The chorus asks the question "Are you ready or not?" and stresses that the singer is without the addressee and innocence is being lost "one by one".


The second verse talks about how the very air we breathe is being terrorized and victimized, and how compromise and sympathy are necessary in order to achieve any kind of peace. The repetition of the chorus drives home the sense of urgency and the need for action.


The bridge repeats the phrase "one by one", emphasizing the loss of innocence and the sense of helplessness that comes from watching people fall and not being able to do anything about it. The final lines speak of the importance of hope and how all is lost when hope is lost, before once again returning to the chorus.

Lyrics

I'm the kinda girl who doesn't say a word
Who sits at the curb and waits for the world
But I'm about to break out, about to break out
I'm like a crook tonight

I caught you staring at me and I was thinking clearly
And now I'm like a bee and I'm hunting for the honey
And I'm kinda shy but you're super fly
Yeah I could be your Kryptonite like

Oh light my heart up baby like a matchstick
Oh and hit the gas quick

Ready or not, here I come
Where you at, the night is young
In the crowd, the music's loud
But I will find you
Ready or not, here I come
I like your face, do you like my song
Just sing it: La la la la la la la
And I'll find you
Ready or not
Ready or not

Hello my name is (Bridgit), nice to meet you
I think you're famous, where have I seen you
You'll be my William, I'll be your Kate
Living like a fairy tale

We could have a palace right next to Oprah
37 Cars and a yacht down in Boca
Take me away, wherever you say
Yeah we could be setting sail like

Oh light my heart up baby like a matchstick
Oh and hit the gas quick

Ready or not, here I come
Where you at, the night is young
In the crowd, the music's loud
But I will find you
Ready or not, here I come
I like your face, do you like my song
Just sing it: La la la la la la la
And I'll find you
Ready or not
Ready or not

Ready or not here I come, here I come
You're like a breath of fresh air in my lungs
You and me dance from the night to the dawn
Ready or not here I come boy it's on

Ready or not here I come, here I come
You're like a breath of fresh air in my lungs
You and me dance from the night to the dawn
Ready or not here I come boy it's on

Ready or not, here I come
Where you at, the night is young
In the crowd, the music's loud
But I will find you
Ready or not, here I come
I like your face, do you like my song
Just sing it: La la la la la la la
And I'll find you
Ready or not
Ready or not

Ready or not
(You're like a breath of fresh air in my lungs)
Ready or not
Ready or not (ready or not, woo!)
Ready or not (ready or not, ready or not)
Ready or not
