How Ya Like Me Now (Longer Version) - Kool Moe Dee
I throw my tape on
And I watch ya
Three second later
I got ya shaking your head
Dancing instead of sitting
The rhymes kick
The beats hitting you
Just like a home run
Slamming like a slam dunk
Riding the wave that James Brown gave funk
It happened to James like it happened to me
How you think I feel to see another MC
Getting paid using my rap style
And I'm playng the background meanwhile
I ain't with that
You can forget that
You took my style
I'm taking it back
I'm come back like Return of the Jedi
Sucker MC's in the place that said I
Could only rock rhymes
Only rock crowds
But never rock records
How ya like me now
How ya like me now
Now brothers are riding me
Like a pony
I'm no phony
I'm the only real micaroni
Playing the mic like supposed it's to be played
New jacks you all shoulda stayed out of the business
What is this amateur night at the Apollo
Get off this stage I'm in a rage
I'm like a lion that's been trapped in a cage
I'm the real king rap is a jungle
I never understood how could one go
To a party watch me stand around and jock me
Become a rapper then try to rock me
Scheming like a demon you're screaming and dreaming
I'm from the old school I used to see men
Dies for less but I'm not that living way
I'll let my mic do the talkin'
And let the music play
How ya like me now
Rap is an art
And I'm a Picasso
But of course
Why else would you try so
Hard to paint a picture and try to get ya
Self in my shoes but they won't fit ya
I'm bigger and better forget about deffer
Every time I rocked the mic I left a
Stain in your brain that will remain
Stuck in the back of your brain till you see me
Again respect I come correct
The rhymes I select are nothing short of
Vernacular's pure and I can insure
Life od death with my breath my voice is a cure
I heal life from the words I spread
