Prek**er - How You Like Me Now lyrics

[Part 1] From 8:00 to 5:00 i do my work to pay my hive and to feed the kids and my wife Every day appears to be the same again but I can't stand this working cla** hero's life And everybody's starin' at me like I look strange Livin' like a zombie - I guess it's time to change I gotta stop this ‘cause stupidity's becoming rife! (How you like me now?) I'm sick 'n' tired of being scared I might get fired ‘cause people stand in lines in hopes of getting' hired But suddenly I get this brainwave in my mind From now on I'm only doin' what I like I wasn't born to live a simple life so now it's time to fight against my inner strife, become alive And making my name the biggest headline – did you read the news? (How you like me now?) [Hook] Now that I got dough in my pocket How you like me now? You see me live on stage and I rock it How you like me now? You're getting' down on your knees and you're begging me please and you kiss my feet No more strings attached I'm not one of your puppets How you like me now? [Part 2] I don't listen to voices anymore, Imma stay focused and I don't dream anymore! I'ma do what I'm best at. I'm best at puttin' on a ritz like I'm majestic I was doin' it right, taking the fight, getting' on track Grappin' the mic, do what I like, reachin' the top – never goin' back But people started shakin' their heads ‘cause I'm rappin' though I'm not bad And that from guys who are totally immune to notes, who can't carry a tune But unlike you I'm getting calls from the president And before we're making plans we're shaking hands He was actin' like we're friends so he granted me an audience Mister President what the f** we pay you for You promise us a better life while using goddamn metaphors Lucky you people don't read between the lines But me. So I won't vote for you or anyone anymore I'm askin' you to leave now and don't forgot to close the door (How you like me now?) [Hook] Now that I got dough in my pocket How you like me now? You see me live on stage and I rock it How you like me now? You're getting' down on your knees and you're begging me please and you kiss my feet No more strings attached I'm not one of your puppets How you like me now? [Part 3] All my real friends are gone and I'm feelin' all alone No one to stop, no one to save from coming undone Now everyone around me doesn't like, they just want my f**in' money You know what? Bite me, fight me I don't care if you hate me or you wanna stay beside me ‘cause one day the queen will knight me How did I become this megalomaniac All I wanted to be was a crackerjack Did it work out? – I don't know Was it worth it? – I don't know But I know though most of it was for the show I felt free for a moment How you like me now? [Hook] Now that I got dough in my pocket How you like me now? You see me live on stage and I rock it How you like me now? You're getting' down on your knees and you're begging me please and you kiss my feet No more strings attached I'm not one of your puppets How you like me now? Now that I got dough in my pocket How you like me now? You see me live on stage and I rock it How you like me now? You're getting' down on your knees and you're begging me please and you kiss my feet No more strings attached I'm not one of your puppets How you like me now?
