[Intro]

[Verse]
F#7 B7 F#7                                   
■   ■  ■   I throw my tape on then I watch ya
                      F#7   
Three seconds later I got ya
                                     F#7    
Shakin' your head dancin' instead of sittin'
                           F#7        
The rhymes kick the beat's hittin' you
                                     F#7      
Just like a home run slammin' like a slam dunk
                            F#7      
Riding the wave James Brown gave funk
                                         F#7
It happened to James like it happened to me 
                                     F#7        
How you think it feel to see another MC get paid
         F#7      
Usin' my rap style
                               F#7      
And I'm playin' the background meanwhile
                            F#7        
I ain't with that you can't forget that
                      F#7           
You took my style I'm takin' it back
                               F#7 
Comin' back like Return of the Jedi
                             F#7   
Sucker MCs in the place that said I
                                     F#7   
Could only rock rhymes and only rock crowds
                              F#7        
But never rock records how ya like me now


[Chorus]
       F#7        
How ya like me now


[Verse]
B7 F#7                                   F#  
■  ■   Now brothers are riding me like a pony
                               F#      
I'm no phony I'm the only real micaroni
                                         F#7   
Playin' the mic like it's supposed to be played
                          F#7   
New jacks you all shoulda stayed
                    F#7         
Out of the business what is this
F#7                        
Amateur night at the Apollo
F#7                           
Get off this stage I'm in rage
F#7                                      
Just like a lion trapped inside of a cage
                           F#7   
I'm the real king rap is a jungle
                             F#7   
I never understood how could one go
                                     F#     
To a party watch me stand around and jock me
                            F#     
Become a rapper then try to rock me
                                           F#      
Schemin' like a demon you're screamin' and dreamin'
                                  F#7    
I'm from the old school I used to see men
             B7                      F#7
Die for less but I'm not living that way
            F#7               
I'll let my mic do the talkin'
            F#7       
And let the music play


[Chorus]
    F# G#m F#7                B7 F#7
How ■  ■   ■   ya like me now ■  ■  


[Verse]
                           F#7    
Rap is an art and I'm like Picasso
                                 F#7   
But of course why else would you try so
                                   F#7   
Hard to paint a picture and try to get ya
                                F#7   
Self in my shoes but they won't fit ya
                                   F#    
I'm bigger and better forget about deffer
                              F#    
Every time I rocked the mic I left a
                              F#    
Stain in your brain that will remain
F#                             
Stuck in the back of your brain
          F#                                 
Until you see me again respect I come correct
                                         F#     
The rhymes I select are nothing short of perfect
                            F#    
Vernacular's pure and I can ensure
                                           F#  
Life or death with my breath my voice is a cure
                             F#    
I feel life from the words I spread
                                       F# 
I'll make a sick man rock on his death bed
F#                                   
Sucker MCs I'll make your girl say Ow
                             F#         
And she's jockin' now how ya like me now


[Chorus]
C#7        F#7         B7
■   How ya like me now ■ 


[Verse]
F#7                               
■   It irked my nerve when I heard
                                 F#7  
A sucker rapper that I know I'll serve
                                 F#7 
Run around town sayin' he is the best
                       F#7      
Is that a test I'm not impressed
                              F#7
Get real you're nothing but a toy
                                   F#7
Don't ya know that I'll serve that boy
                                  F#      
Just like a waiter hit 'em with a plate of
      F#          
These fresh rhymes
                      F#                          
And make sure that he pay the pay the pay the bill
              F#            
And leave him standin' still
F#                                            
And when he's had enough hit him with a refill
F#                                      
And for dessert it won't be no ice cream
    F#                                             
I'm just gonna shatter and splatter his pipe dreams
                                          F#   
Make him feel the wrath beat him down and laugh
           F#                           
And when I finish then I'm gonna ask him
F#7             B7                  F#7    
Who is the best And if he don't say Moe Dee
                                            B7  
I'll take my whip and make him call himself Toby
                                 F#7  
Whip him good then I'll make him sweat
                                                   F#7       
Always talkin' about battles but ain't never had a battle yet
                                F#7    
But if we ever did how could he beat me
                                      F#7    
He's so petrified he's scared to even meet me
                                       F#7 
My word's the law that's why you don't beef
                                           F#7  
You're nothing but a punk track star and a thief
                                             F#7  
So I'm puttin' you on punishment just like a child
                               F#7        
Never touch another mic how ya like me now


[Chorus]

■    ■   ■  ■  
       F#7        
How ya like me now


[Verse]
                                     F#7 
I could continue there's more on the menu
                                 F#7   
But I'll relax 'cause I'm so far in you
    F#7                                 
You had enough I know you're overstuffed
         F#7                             
And if I keep going you'll be throwin' up
                                         F#7
Old rhymes I used to say way back in the day
                                        F#7
When you used to come to my parties and pay
                                       F#7
Nobody's ever gonna rock me and this I vow
                             F#7        
So all I wanna say is how ya like me now
    F#7           
How ya like me now


[Chorus]
F#m7 B7 F#7 B7
■    ■  ■   ■
