Song Lyrics

Ready right now, Ready right now
Ready right now, Ready right now

We people who are darker than blue
Are we gonna stand around this town
And let what others say come true
Are we just good for nothing so them figure

Worthless shifless nigga's
We can hardly stand for that
Or is that where its really at?

Well, pardon me brother
As you stand in your glory
I hope you don't mind
If I tell the whole story

Ready right now, Ready right now
Ready right now , Are you ready right now

We people who are darker than blue
There's no time for segregation
I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow too
High yellow gal can you tell

Your just a surface of our deep well
If your mind can really see
You know your colour is the same as me.

Well, pardon me brother
As you stand in your glory
I know you won't mind
If I tell the whole story

Are you ready Right now
Are you ready right now

Arh! yeh! arh!
Are you ready?
Ready â?? Oh now now

Dry your weeping eyes
'Cause we are on the rise
Head up to the sky
Keep your eyes upon prize

Jah Jah is the power and the glory
Giving us a brand new story
No mek tribal war destroys we
Let's bring about some unity.

Yeah, Yeah!

We People of African blue
It's now time to seize the land
That's been long time overdue
Politician 'pon a mission

They conjuring up corruption
So long we've been denied
And were just not satisfied

Well, pardon me brother
As you stand in your glory
I know that I know you won't mind
If I tell the whole story

Ready right now
Ready right now
Are you ready right now
Are you ready right now

In a Zimbabwe,Mozambique and South Africa
Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast and Liberia oh yeah

Ready right now
