La la la la la la la la la la la la la la,
La la la, la la la, la la la, This is what she said

I'm leavin' the ghetto, been plannin' for a while
I'm packin' up my dreams, right now
Good morning to the future, good night to the past
It's gonna be a good day
Looking for the good life
The big town and the green lights
On a wing and a prayer and a one way flight

[Chorus:]
Are you ready, are you ready
You talk about it everyday,
And yeah you've got a lot to say, but
Are you ready, are you ready
Gonna take a lot of preparation
To reach your destination, so
La la, get your mind right
La la la la, get your mind right
La la la la, get your mind right
La la la la, get your mind right

No, you can take a flight to Egypt, to Paris or Dubai
Then on to the next place, in your mind
But why you wanna go so far,
When it won't change who your are
On (?) or the ghetto
Looking for the good life
The big town and green lights
On a wing and a prayer and a one way flight

[Chorus:]
Are you ready, are you ready
You talk about it everyday,
And yeah you've got a lot to say, but
Are you ready, are you ready
Gonna take a lot of preparation
To reach your destination, so
La la, get your mind right
La la la la, get your mind right
La la la la, get your mind right
La la la la, get your mind right

Oh, doesn't really matter to ya
If you can get away
Don't you know that where your mind is
Is where your gonna stay
I suggest you make the best of your time
Just keep God on your mind
And I'm sure in time you'll be ready

[Chorus:]
Are you ready
You talk about it everyday,
And yeah you've got a lot to say, but
Are you ready, are you ready
It's gon' take a lot of preparation
To reach your destination
La la, get your mind right
La la la la, get your mind right
La la la la, get your mind right
La la la la, get your mind right
La la, get your mind right
La la la la, get your mind right
La la la la, get your mind right
La la la la, get your mind right

You gotta get it together, get it together
Everybody, everybody come on now
Get your mind right, eh
