Chorus: 

I'm gettin' ready(ready) I'm gettin' ready(ready) 

I'm gettin' ready(ready) I'm gettin' ready(ready) 

One morning I had a dream 

I could make a young lady scream 

By makin' musical sounds with my mounth(listen) 

So I tried it at a party 

And people didn't know it was me 

And when they finally saw me I heard a shout(like that) 

To see a crownd just dazed and amazed 

And everybody's eyes just gazed upon the man we know as 

DOUG E. F-R-E-S-H 

And to prove to you and the crew 

Who I am and what I do 

Now is it because I know how to kiss 

And the ladies can't resist 

Plus they love it when I go like 

When I go like 

Go,go,go like 

When I go 

When I,When I go like 

When I go like this cause 

(CHORUS) 

Now every,every,every,every,every rhyme 

I made is no mistake 

And I'm giving you more and you can be sure then you can take 

In the projects,buildings,tenements,palaces,you work hard 

You bound to get callouses on your hand 

Every woman and man an I'm givin' you more than you can stand 

I'm ready and willin' 

Cold Chillin' 

Gettin' paid wearing silks and suede 

Go to Barbados and cool in the shade 

Do my exercise,keep nice and trim 

Go down to the beach for a real cool swim 

And all the ladies say let's talk to him 

He,he let's talk to him 

I got brown hair and a brown complexion 

Keep my hair up to perfection 

Believe in the saying you are what you eat 

That's the main reason why I don't eat meat 

But I can say a fresh rhyme off a fresh beat 

And like,and like,and like,and like I'm on the mike 

And like I'm on the mike 

And like Adam and Eve we're gonna try a achieve 

What most people out here disbelieve 

Dj's cuts so hard that it's hard to breathe 

Make the best Dj's in the place want to leave 

Chill Will,Barry Bee where you goin' 

Y'all out of here 

Yeah well 

(chorus) 

Break it down...... 

Nah,nah,nah,nah,nah 

Oh,oh,oh,oh 

(repeat 3 times) 

(chorus) 

Because it's everlasting,broadcasting 

I don't eat meat cause right now I'm fasting 

Secure and safe and oh,my god doin so damn good 

When times are hard and loved through every continent 

Have statues,streets an a monument 

Have a statue 

Looking right at you 

And have streets named after hip-hop beats 

Let MC's know that bitin from me the crew is G-F-C
