How Ya Like Me Now Lyrics - How You Like Me Now - Kool Moe Dee

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 

How ya like me now 

Now brothers are riding me 

Like a pony 

I'm no phony 

I'm the only real macaroni 

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 

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 of 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 

How ya like me now 

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 refill 

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 

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 

How ya like me now 

I could continue 

There's more on the menu 

But relax 'cause 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 want to say is 

How ya like me now 

How ya like me now 

How ya like me now
