Wonce Again Long Island Lyrics

    [pos plug wonder why]

    (what the hell do you wanna be when you grow up?)
    I wanna be a supa emcee
    (well you're already that) so let me step up to bat
    Attack a hit to go beyond this age of rap counterfeits

    Out of the heavens august one-seven, sixty-nine
    Born i, wonder why with the thoughts to rhyme
    Til there was no longer thoughts to dream
    When an unpolished demo led to limos at the age of eighteen
    Accompanied by the screams, plug one
    Shot up with fame like novacaine it made me numb
    So numb i wouldn't been able to feel
    Niggaz diggin in my pockets for my currency reels
    But still, i make girls brown eyes blue at will (until)
    My ass was no longer mass appeal
    Oh shit, i guess that was all the fame i was alloted
    Wait a minite, new video, like a leopard i'm spotted
    In a night club chillin with kamaal and phife
    I be that farmer cultivating owning acres of mics
    And i likes to make it known strong island stylin
    For a while, so do that dance

    (are you rockin the spot?) yes i be
    (showin others they do not?) yes i be
    (havin then towed from the lot?) yes i be
    That's my job as a supa emcee, i'm from long isle
    Mobile, make it worth your while
    If the jam needs motion i'm the one to dial
    (goin beyond ninety watts) yes i be
    (well are you rockin it?) yes, yes i be (rockin it!)

    I can stress the makin of loot to feed the fam
    While the voices impersonate the true who i am
    Buzzin in my ear, oh you one of those wannabees
    Always buzzin in my ear you down with supa emcees
    Steppin to me with your pleas that you gots, butter rhymes
    Man the only thing butter bout you is your spine
    Mad yellow, you can't rock the mardi gras, my mellow
    Cause my stealth show more than knowledge of self
    I got knowlegde of you, to know you a wack em-crew
    (you mean wack emcee) nah, a wack em-crew, see you a crew of wack niggaz
    You should have never tried to test
    These words that i man, with the eye/i to fest
    While you sayin one thing really meaning the next
    You're just a contra-dick, your mind's been tampered with
    Like some holy boooks, but looks to the sky
    Cause wonder why's here to save the day

    (are you rockin the spot?) yes i be
    (showin others they do not?) yes i be
    (havin then towed from the lot) yes i be
    Cause ultimately, i'm lettin all mc's know that
    What's the name of this crew? (de la, de la)
    Well alright, and what be the dish we servin?
    (we servin pos-da!) posdanos help the next get loose

    Like an alcohol scenario rap be on the rocks
    Authenticity that missin fee to pay to join the flock of mc
    These niggaz stand lower than knees
    Dramatized in they eyes as the ones to please
    When rap kids apply violent pressure to father, brother and son
    For fun to say they inflict pain
    R&b niggaz lie to mother, sister, and daughter
    To have sex disguised as lovin in the rain
    Their words are more hallow than october 31st
    What's worse, hate to see the females
    Switch to sexual mentality, it doesn't match with they given anatomy
    Man they rather be hoes like that male emcee
    Who walk around like they got nuts
    And use the tits and ass like a crutch
    Man the underground's about not bein exposed
    So you better take you naked ass and put on some clothes

    Man this be goin out to the kids from east smash (long island)
    Amityville (long island)
    To all my people out in whinedance, bayshore (long island)
    C.i.'s in the place (long island)
    Brinkwood, hempstead, all my (long island)
    Brothers out in roosevelt, freeport (long island)
    Uniondale to long beach (long island)
    To them girls out in huntington (long island)
    Long island for real (long island)
