Ready or Not

Black man on a freeway riding a bike
He looks a little older
But he's going somewhere
Might be just flying a kite
Over on the shoulder
But he's going somewhere

And I'm on my way
Before the daylight's shot
I'm gonna swing and sway
Ready or not

Too much danger, too many tears
Anything would keep you
From going somewhere
Suspicious strangers and all of your fears
Might rob you and beat you
If you're going somewhere

But I'm on my way, yeah
Before the daylight's shot
I'm gonna swing and sway
Ready or not

I want you to be on your way
On the road less taken
While the news is breaking
Be on your way
For the chance worth taking
For the stand worth making
Be on your way

Because under the barrel
You cannot see the light
Shining on the pilgrim
That's going somewhere
Along with the peril
Come the joy and delight
Bathing every pilgrim
That's going somewhere

Oh, be on your way
Before the daylight's shot
You've got to swing and sway
Ready or not

Ready or not
(Oh, I'm on my way)
Am I ready or not
(Oh, I'm on my way)
Ready or not
(Oh, I'm on my way)
(Oh, I'm on my way)
(Oh, I'm on my way)
(Oh, I'm on my way)
