Get up, party people, listen to this rap |
|
Cause I'm about to go down and put my town on the map |
|
MC Heavy D, delighted you'll be learnin |
|
About the place where I rest, Moneyearnin' Mount Vernon |
|
(Money, money, money - MONEY) (2x) |
|
My town is really quaint, but we ain't no saints |
|
And if you think we're pooh-puts, think again, we ain't |
|
We're stormin strong, get taken out, never |
|
[Name] Mob, stone cold terror |
|
Not here to talk about that negative tip |
|
Just makin sure you didn't make the mistake and slip |
|
Not rappin all about the good times and chillin |
|
But you can come and visit, homeboy, that's if you're willin |
|
If you like it so far, you think you want more? |
|
Come Uptown and I take you on a Heavy D tour |
|
On Mount Vernon |
|
(1-2-3 - hit me!) |

(Money, money, money - MONEY) (4x) |
|
Born in Jamaica, Mount Vernon I grew |
|
But I still do my shopping on 4th Avenue |
|
Buy my Nikes from Chambers, then walk down the block |
|
Get the gear that I wear from Buddy's Big Men Shop |
|
When I start to get hungry and it's time to eat |
|
Buy a burger from Shabazz on 4th Ave./3rd Street |
|
I'll never forget the place I got my start |
|
Around the corner from the crib, and it's called ([Name] Park) |
|
Now in this park I'd bang a beat on a seat |
|
Bust a rap for the crowd that was really unique |
|
For an eight year old kid inside the 4th grade |
|
And when I grew they all knew that I'd get paid |
|
And on my way up I took no shorts on the court |
|
I played and I slayed, I learned and I taught |
|
And shortly after that everybody was yearnin |
|
For Hev to go down in the town of Mount Vernon |
|
Moneyearnin' Mount Vernon |
|

|
In the summertime, when the heat is hot |
|
We can cruise on 3rd Street, but you can call it the block |
|
Fly ladies out there in the short set suits |
|
Nothin ugly approved cause all the girlies are cute |
|
Would drive in my Blazer for a four-dollar fee |
|
Written on the license plates is my name - |
|
When it's time to chill we go to 4th Street Park |
|
Pick up some brew from Big Lou when it gets dark |
|
Go watch the summer league games, sip and forty and max |
|
Cheer for the winner and watch the competiton get waxed |
|
When that's all over it's party time |
|
Come to the show and watch me go on a Heavy D rhyme |
|
In Mount Vernon |
