How Ya Like Me Now - Longer Version

Oh, the night train
 ♪
 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
 Coming back like return of the Jedi
 Sucker MC's in the place that said I
 Could only rock rhymes and only rock crowds
 But never rock records

 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

 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 or 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'

 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
 And 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
 And 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
 Whip him good, then I'll make him sweat
 All I'm 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

 I could continue there's more on the menu
 But I 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
