How Ya Like Me Now (Longer Version) - Kool Moe Dee.mp3

[00:21.12]I throw my tape on
[00:22.69]And I watch ya
[00:24.24]Three second later
[00:24.98]I got ya, shakin' your head
[00:27.31]Dancin' instead of sittin'
[00:28.51]The rhymes kick
[00:29.60]The beats hittin' you
[00:30.97]Just like a home run
[00:32.19]Slammin' like a slam dunk
[00:33.18]Riding the wave that James Brown gave funk
[00:35.53]It happened to James,like it happened to me
[00:37.36]How you think I feel to see another MC
[00:39.90]Gettin' paid , usin' my rap style
[00:42.58]And I'm playin' the background meanwhile
[00:44.66]I ain't with that
[00:45.94]You can forget that
[00:47.25]You took my style
[00:48.50]I'm takin' it back
[00:49.52]I'm come back like "Return of the Jedi"
[00:51.71]Sucker MC's in the place that said I
[00:53.72]Could only rock rhymes
[00:54.91]Only rock crowds
[00:56.28]But never rock records
[00:58.24]How ya like me now (x2)
[01:16.78]Now brothers are riding me
[01:18.29]Like a pony
[01:19.37]I'm no phony
[01:20.33]I'm the only real micaroni
[01:21.58]Playin' the mic like it's supposed to be played
[01:23.53]New jacks,you all shoulda stayed out of the business
[01:27.82]What is this,amateur night at the Apollo?
[01:30.28]Get off this stage,I'm in a rage
[01:32.24]I'm like a lion that's been trapped inside a cage
[01:35.34]I'm the real king , rap is a jungle
[01:37.80]I never understood,how could one go
[01:40.26]To a party,watch me,stand around and jock me
[01:42.14]Become a rapper,then try to rock me
[01:44.82]Scheming like a demon,you're screamin' and dreamin'
[01:46.82]I'm from the old school,I used to see men
[01:49.29]Dies for less,but I'm not living that way
[01:51.22]I'll let my mic do the talkin'
[01:52.62]And let the music play
[02:04.00]How ya like me now (x2)
[02:12.66]Rap is an art
[02:13.30]And I'm a Picasso
[02:14.76]But of course
[02:15.68]Why else would you try so
[02:17.80]Hard to paint a picture, and try to get ya
[02:19.80]Self in my shoes,but they won't fit ya
[02:21.49]I'm bigger and better,forget about deffer
[02:23.55]Every time I rocked the mic,I left a
[02:25.70]Stain in your brain that will remain
[02:28.11]Stuck in the back of your brain till you see me
[02:30.61]Again, respect, I come correct
[02:32.64]The rhymes I select are nothing short of perfect
[02:35.12]Vernacular's pure and I can ensure
[02:37.19]Life or death with my breath, my voice is a cure
[02:39.78]I heal life from the words I spread
[02:42.50]I'll make a sick man rock on his death bed
[02:43.98]Sucker MC's , I'll make your girl say "ow"
[02:46.55]And she's jockin'
[02:47.76]How ya like me now (x2)
[03:07.41]It irked my nerve
[03:08.61]When I heard
[03:09.73]A sucker rapper that I know I'll serve
[03:11.90]Run around town sayin' he is the best
[03:14.45]Is that a test?
[03:15.55]I'm not impressed
[03:16.65]Get real, you're nothing but a toy
[03:18.97]Don't ya know I'll serve that boy?
[03:21.17]Just like a waiter
[03:22.39]Hit'em with a plate of
[03:23.93]These fresh rhymes and
[03:24.55]Make sure that he
[03:25.76]Pay the bill, and leave him standin' still
[03:27.56]When he's had enough, hit him with a refill
[03:29.55]And for dessert it won't be no ice cream
[03:32.26]I'm just gonna splatter and shatter his pipe dreams
[03:34.33]Make him feel the wrath, beat him down and laugh
[03:37.15]And when I finish, then I'm gonna ask him
[03:39.18]"Who is the best?" And if he don't say, "Moe Dee,"
[03:42.60]I'll take my whip and make him call himself Toby
[03:44.41]Whip him good, then I'll make him sweat
[03:46.23]Always talkin' about battles and never had a battle yet
[03:48.96]But if we ever did
[03:50.35]How could you beat me?
[03:51.38]You're so petrified
[03:52.37]You're scared to even meet me
[03:53.72]My word's the law
[03:54.58]That's why you don't beef
[03:55.75]You're nothing but a punk, track star, and a thief
[03:58.30]So I'm puttin' you on punishment
[03:59.13]Just like a child:
[04:00.56]Never touch another mic
[04:02.53]How ya like me now (x2)
[04:58.77]I could continue
[04:59.32]There's more on the menu
[05:00.20]But I'll relax 'cos I'm so far in you
[05:02.59]You had enough
[05:03.30]I know you're overstuffed
[05:04.50]And if I keep going
[05:05.60]You'll be throwin' up
[05:06.73]Old rhymes I used to say
[05:08.13]Way back in the day
[05:09.27]When you used to come to my
[05:10.73]Parties and pay
[05:11.75]Nobody's ever gonna rock me
[05:12.91]And this I vow
[05:14.28]So all I wanna say is
[05:16.40]How ya like me now? (X2)
[05:34.35]How ya like me now
