How Ya Like Me Now Lyrics
Lyrics
Disc
Track
Title
- I throw my tape on
- And I watch ya
- Three second later
- I got ya,shakin' your head
- Dancin' instead of sittin'
- The rhymes kick
- The beats hittin' you
- Just like a home run
- Slammin' 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
- Gettin' paid , usin' my rap style
- And I'm playn' the background meanwhile
- I ain't with that
- You can forget that
- You took my style
- I'm takin' 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[x2]
- Now brothers are riding me
- Like a pony
- I'm no phony
- I'm the only real micaroni
- Playin' the mic like it's supposed 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 screamin' and dreamin'
- I'm from the old school,I used to see men
- Dies for less,but I'm not living that way
- I'll let my mic do the talkin'
- And let the music play
- How ya like me now[x2]
- 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
- I'll make a sick man rock on his death bed
- Sucker MC's , I'll make your girl say "ow"
- She's jockin'
- How ya like me now[x2]
- It irked my nerve
- When I heard
- A sucker rapper that I know I'll serve
- Run around town sayin' he is the best
- Is that a test?
- I'm not impressed
- Get real,you're nothin' but a toy
- Don't ya know I'll serve that boy
- Just like a waiter
- Hit'em with a place of
- These fresh rhymes and
- Make sure that he
- Pays the bill,and leave him standin' still
- When he's had enough,hit him with a refil
- And for dessert it won't be no ice cream
- I'm just gonna splatter and shatter his pipe dream
- Make him feel the wrath,beat him and laugh
- Then when I finish them,I'm gonna ask him
- Who's the bests,and if he don't say Moe Dee
- I'll take my whip and make him call himself Toby
- Put him on punishment just like a child,then ask
- How ya like me now
- Whip him good,then I'll make him sweat
- Talkin' about battles and never had a battle yet
- But if we ever did
- How could you beat me
- You're so petrified
- Even scared to meet me
- My word's the law
- That's why you don't beef
- You're nothing but a punk,track star,and a thief
- So I'm puttin' you on punishment
- Just like a child
- Never touch another mic
- How ya like me now[x2]
- I could continue
- There's more on the menu
- But relax 'cos I'm so far in you
- You had enough
- I know you're overstuffed
- If I keep going
- You'll be throwin' up
- Old rhymes I used to say
- Back in the day
- When you used to me
- To my parties and pay
- Nobody's ever gonna rack me
- This I vow
- So all I wanna say is
- How ya like me now[x2]
- How ya like me now[fade out with echo]
- The wild wild west[x16]
- I used to live downtown, 129th Street
- Convent, everything's upbeat
- Parties, ball in the park
- Nothing, but girls after dark
- We chill, nobody gets ill
- In the place we call the hill
- But if you try 'em
- That's when they will
- Get wild, but they don't fight, they kill
- At the...
- The wild wild west[x4]
- I remember parties out in the park
- With the girlies, rubbing up in the dark
- I was smooth, until someone pulled a gun
- It was over, they spoiled my fun
- I was flying, just like a track star
- Dying, nah, I ran through the back yard
- Trying to get into my building
- Thinking, "Why in the heck won't somebody kill them?"
- One day the fellas got together
- They vowed that no one would ever
- Come on our block, and terrorize us
- The gangs that used to do it, now they idolize us
- Guns, we don't like to use them
- Unless, our enemies choose them
- We prefer to fight you on like a man
- And beat you down with our hands and bodyslam you at the...
- The wild wild west[x4]
- We don't start trouble, but boy do we end it
- Our time, we like to spend it
- Snapping, boy do we heat up
- But we'll take time out to beat up
- A sucker, if he wants static
- Beatdown, yeah we got it
- Good, and we'll accomidate you
- Thanks to us, a lot of brothers hate to
- Come back, to this very day
- Cause losing's one thing we don't play
- If you're ever in a fight and you're beating one of us
- Break out, before you get bumrushed
- At the...
- The wild wild west[x16]
- I'm talking about Nazareth, B.O., Tony and Milton
- Mike Mike Sluggo and Mike Chillion
- D.O.B., Reggie B, and Sidney
- Dana B, Derrick B, Sean B, and don't forget
- Big Hank, Don Ice and Sire Rock
- God bless Peter Wax, Chuck Chuck, and Po Rock
- El Dorado George way back in the day
- Had all the brothers on the hill talking this way
- They said, "God, have mercy L.A.
- Sunshine," and my DJ
- Easy Lee, are from aroud the way
- Jock Jock, Philly Phil, Don D always
- But they're chillin, Keith Keith, KV
- Steve O, Ross Ross and A Fi
- Beroni, Toss Toss and Hung Hunk
- We fight with our hands and nobody's a punk!
- At the...
- The wild wild west
- What you want, you ain't gon' get it
- What you need, you won't admit it
- It really don't matter how hard you try
- Cause money can't buy respect
- The material mind is enticed by the dollar bill
- It makes some brothers fight, and some would even kill
- Some will do anything for a bill
- Cause they think they'll get respect
- Bought a big Mercedes, and you got about ten more cars
- Now you impress the ladies, and you're a neighborhood star
- Gold on your fingers and your neck
- But you still get no respect
- Your mind is weak, so when you speak
- You're obsolete, your mental peak
- Is in the street, your mouth's a beak
- Big like a bird, and your future's bleak
- Now you should seek some help decree
- You're sellin crack and livin cheap
- Bought a brand-new ride to go beep-beep
- Playin music outside loud in your jeep
- But you should know, unless you're slow
- There comes an end to the sidewalk show
- And up the river's where you'll go
- Wearin stripes from head to toe
- No fancy gold, no fancy car
- And the brothers inside don't care who you are
- A 7-foot brother doin life
- 300 pounds, says you're his wife
- Walks in your cell and says: "Fix it up"
- Then you look up and say: "Not the butt"
- He says: "Shut up" "But... but" No 'but'
- Now what you gonna do, freaky-deaky or what?
- The money was good, the money was fast
- No business mind and the money won't last
- In the money rate you fell first to last
- Now every night you fight for your ass
- They say what goes up must come down
- All hustlers know that sound
- Cause you're here today, gone the next
- And you'll find out the hard way: you get no respect
- [Old hustler:]
- Man, you must be crazy and bugged
- Whatcha mean I don't get no respect?
- You crazy?
- You got to respect me
- Cause I was the first millionaire off the streets, boy
- Ain't nobody ever had a hustle like mine
- In '72, I was killin em, boy
- [Young hustler:]
- Man, go 'head, go 'head
- [Old hustler:]
- I'm tellin ya, I was shittin on it
- Word up, I was the man
- And a car - these niggas ain't got no cars today, man
- My car was so pretty, I ride by, niggas' dicks get hard
- You dig what I'm sayin?
- [Young hustler:]
- Ha-ha, man, get outta here, go 'head

- Caddy, boy, Grand Daddy Caddy
- They used to call me Mackaroni Tony, boy
- [Young hustler:]
- Aw man, go 'head, shut yo broke ass up, man
- Word, I spell it out, I'll yell it out
- For those brothers that keep sellin out
- Cause local clout is all you're about
- A few bullshit bitches and hanging out
- And every day's like a title bout
- When the next man wants you taken out
- I'd like to know what you're thinkin about
- It sure ain't dyin without a doubt
- But you better wake up before it's too late
- Or they'll be doing your make-up down at the coroner's place
- And you will have lived just to die
- And you'll die with no respect
- [Young hustler:]
- Yo man, what about hoes, what about hoes?
- [Old hustler:]
- Hoes?
- Shit man, I had mo' bitches than muthafuckin Con-ed got switches, boy
