| [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 |
