[Intro: Dizzee Rascal]
Rascal
Seal off the area (yes, sir)
No one's going nowhere
Rascal
I’m gonna tell you people now
Rascal, Stormin, Sharky, Armour
Gonna show yous now (it's over)
You know where I'm coming from
You know what this thing is?
Yeah, we’re ready for war
Ready for war
We're just ready for war
Ready for war
[Verse 1: Dizzee Rascal]
So, I guess I'm the one you've been looking for, so what you waiting for?
I dare you to step, I'll leave your whole body sore
I ain't scared of you; in fact, why should I be?
You can't bother me, live your life, ain't for free, so
If you think you’re hard
I’ll make you wish you never stepped out your yard
'Cause I’m fed up of hearing the talking and yapping and chatting
I'm fed up of hearing and not saying nothing
I don't care 'bout your mandem
If you think they’re raw, go and get them
Before the night's up we gon' wet them
Bury their bodies and forget them
They're gonna wish we never met them
The coroner won't even wanna check them
They're gonna try hard, won't find them
Where have they gone? Where? Ask the mandem, ready for war
[Chorus: Dizzee Rascal]
Make them man know that we're ready for war
Make the police aware that we're ready for war
Clear all the streets 'cause we're ready for war
Hide all your kids 'cause we're ready for war
Put on your vest 'cause we're ready for war
Shut down the schools 'cause we're ready for war
You started this, now we're ready for war
If you really want it, we're ready for war
Make them man know that we're ready for war
Make the police aware that we're ready for war
Clear all the streets 'cause we're ready for war
Hide all your kids 'cause we're ready for war
Put on your vest 'cause we're ready for war
Shut down the schools 'cause we're ready for war
You started this, now we're ready for war
If you really want it, we're ready for war
[Verse 2: Armour]
The reason why I scare them? I'm a gun shape fella
I am the full cartel-er
Don't make me put my finger d-d-deh pon the trigger
B-b-b-b-big time gun slinger
Me nah chat, bullets sound like a thriller
So holla, I am the big sniper
Going on bad, going on major
Armour, I'm the entertainer, well
I used to be a little sniper
Now I'm a big sniper, woo, woo-woo
Boy dem getting hyper
Sounds of who? Mr Armour
Armour, I am a top shotta
Scholar, worth a hot million dollar
Chat pon mic and I chat so proper
So see ya, sounds of Mr Armour
[Chorus: Dizzee Rascal]
Make them man know that we're ready for war
Make the police aware that we're ready for war
Clear all the streets 'cause we're ready for war
Hide all your kids 'cause we're ready for war
Put on your vest 'cause we're ready for war
Shut down the schools 'cause we're ready for war
You started this, now we're ready for war
If you really want it, we're ready for war
Make them man know that we're ready for war
Make the police aware that we're ready for war
Clear all the streets 'cause we're ready for war
Hide all your kids 'cause we're ready for war
Put on your vest 'cause we're ready for war
Shut down the schools 'cause we're ready for war
You started this, now we're ready for war
If you really want it, we're ready for war
[Verse 3: Stormin]
Mic check, 1-2

I represent who? It's the N.A.S.T.Y. Crew
Don't like me? Well then screw you, fi true
Lyrically, I was meant to be
Realer rudeboy ruffneck wicked MC
Deh pon the mic, you know me lively
What's my name? Storm MC
Stormin the lyrically dan
Killing smart boys whether old or young
Knock out your teeth and I'll chop out your tongue
Beat out your gums 'cause you're going on stupid and dumb

Give me the mic and I'll rinse them neatly
Test with me? You must be crazy
Represent only one crew and that's N.A.S.T.Y
[Chorus: Dizzee Rascal]
Make them man know that we're ready for war
Make the police aware that we're ready for war

[Verse 4: Sharky Major]
They wanna step to the Shark
Move to me and you're gonna get spark
Gonna get dark, leave you lying in the West Ham park
Won't hear a sound [?]
You wanna test me? Freeze over
Make like a predator, I'm out to get ya
Lord of riddim, the flow inside 'ere
Sharky Major [?] favour
I don't care no more
I've heard bare things that I can't ignore
So my only option's to be ready for war, I'ma walk through the door
One hand blicks, other hand hacksaw
I think I'm ready to purchase a gun
Bare [?] boys going on dumb
When I walk on street, make man have to run
When I get my gun what I say'll be done
[Chorus: Dizzee Rascal]
Make them man know that we're ready for war
Make the police aware that we're ready for war
Clear all the streets 'cause we're ready for war
Hide all your kids 'cause we're ready for war
Put on your vest 'cause we're ready for war
Shut down the schools 'cause we're ready for war
You started this, now we're ready for war
If you really want it, we're ready for war
Make them man know that we're ready for war
Make the police aware that we're ready for war
Clear all the streets 'cause we're ready for war
Hide all your kids 'cause we're ready for war
Put on your vest 'cause we're ready for war
Shut down the schools 'cause we're ready for war
You started this, now we're ready for war
If you really want it, we're ready for war
