KOOL MOE DEE - How Ya Like Me Now lyrics

rate me

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]
