"Ready" lyrics

Hands in the air
It's a robbery
Money in the bag
No apologies
It's a cold world
So you gotta be
Ready
Gotta be
Ready
(Ready)

Keep my friends close
But my enemies in front of me
If I go ghost then you know
Who put a hit on me
Stab me in the back
Then you turn into a memory
Ready
You gotta be
Ready
(Ready)

Been around the block a couple times
I'm a veteran
Bullshit alumni
Still waiting on my letterman
Snakes in the grass
Wonder why
I never let 'em in
Ready
You gotta be
Ready
(Ready)

Hands in the air
It's a robbery
Money in the bag
No apologies
It's a cold world
So you gotta be
Ready
Gotta be
Ready
(Ready)

Nice guys finish last
Used to wonder why
I thought I was just unlucky
'Til I saw the darker side
They love to see you fall
But despise it when you fly
Be ready
You gotta be
Ready
(Ready)

Fuck having dreams
Maybe I should stay inside
'Cause the closest people to you can
Just take it from your mind
"Ignorance is bliss"
Never heard a bigger lie
So be ready
You gotta be
Ready
(Ready)

Hands in the air
It's a robbery
Money in the bag
No apologies
It's a cold world
So you gotta be
Ready
Gotta be
Ready
(Ready)

Hands in the air
It's a robbery
Money in the bag
No apologies
It's a cold world
So you gotta be
Ready
Gotta be
Ready
(Ready)

Hands in the air
So nobody gets hurt
You can reach for the sky
Or get buried in the dirt
It's a cold life we live in
And everyone's sinnin'
Oh, shit won't change
If you don't change first
And a revolution starts
With a few small words
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air!
Put your hands in the air!
Are you ready?

Hands in the air
It's a robbery (robbery)
Money in the bag
No apologies (apologies)
It's a cold world
It's a cold world
So, tell me
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
