how ya like me now

• 87 senesinden bir kool moe dee albümü.
• 87 senesi kool moe dee albumunun hit parcasi. bu parca da hakikatten bir golden age rap klasigidir, ayrica gunumuzde hip-hop'a ihanet etmeyen sayili gruplarin parcalarinda, arada bu sarkinin gerek sozleri gerekse de beatleri donmektedir.
  
  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)
