Get Ready
Rebellion Rhythms: Embrace the Mood, Defy the Rules with The Elovaters
Lyrics
Some folks say that smoking herb is a crime,
Addressing the perception that smoking herb (marijuana) is considered a crime by some.
If they catch you smokin' they're bound to drop the dime
Warning about the risk of being reported (dropping the dime) if caught smoking.
Insufferable informa crazy fools
Describing those who eagerly inform or report, using the term "informa" for informer.
Wait with their fingers crossed for you to break the rules
People eagerly waiting for someone to break the rules, anticipating it.
And in the evening, we try to jam,
Shifting the focus to the joy of playing music in the evening.
We like the music loud in this here band
Expressing a preference for loud music in the band.
We let the bass line drop as loud as we can stand
Emphasizing the loudness of the bass line in the music.
Somebody always gotta turn informa for the man
Someone always betraying or reporting to authorities.
I wanna know know right now, is there one of you in the crowd,
Asking the crowd if there is anyone willing to inform or call 911.
Are you gonna call 911?
Questioning the crowd's intention to call 911 and disrupt the fun.
And spoil all of my fun
Expressing disapproval of someone spoiling the enjoyment by calling 911.
You crazy fool
Labeling the potential informer as a crazy fool.
I'm in the mood
Indicating a positive mood despite potential disruptions.
Get ready
Announcing readiness or anticipation for something.
I'm in the mood
Repeating the themes of mood, readiness, and defiance against informers.
Come on now, yeah
-I'm in the mood
-Are you ready?
-I'm in the mood
-Come on now, yeah
-Come on
-Load up the bong, crank up the song
-Let the informa' call 911
-Load up the bong, crank up the song
-Let the informa call 911
-And when security police force want to arrive
-Don't try to run, don't try to hide
-Just pull out the .9, pop in the clip, and let one slip
-Into these crazy fools
-I'm in the mood
-Get ready
-I'm in the mood
-Come on now, yeah
-I'm in the mood
-Are you ready?
-I'm in the mood
-Come on now, yeah
-And in the evening, when we try to jam
-We like the music loud in this here band
-Oh, I wanna know now, I want to know, know right now
-Are you willing, are you willin' and able?
-Oh, got the crazy fool
-Some folks say that smoking herb is a crime
-If they catch you smokin' they're bound to drop the dime
-Insufferable informa' crazy fools
-Wait with their fingers crossed for you to break the rules
-But, I'm in the mood
-Get ready
-I'm in the mood
-Come on now, yeah
-I'm in the mood
-Are you ready?
-I'm in the mood
