[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Lookin’ 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
[Verse 2]
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 Savon Road or the ghetto, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Lookin’ for the good life
The big town and green lights
On a wing and a prayer and a one way flight but

[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

[Bridge]
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?
Talk about it everyday
And, yeah, you've got a lot to say, but
Are you ready? (Are you ready?), Are you ready? (Ooh)
It’s gon’ 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-la-la-la, get your mind right (La-la-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la, get your mind right (Can you help me sing it, now say)
La-la, get your mind right (Aye)
La-la-la-la (Get your mind right), get your mind right
La-la-la-la (Everybody, everybody get ya mind right), get your mind right (Come on and get your mind right)
La-la-la-la, get your mind right

[Outro]
Gotta get it together, get it together
Everybody, everybody come on now
Get your mind right, eh
