Get up, party people, listen to this rap

Cause I'm about to go down and put my town on the map

MC Heavy D, delighted you'll be learnin

About the place where I rest, Moneyearnin' Mount Vernon

(Money, money, money - MONEY) (2x)

My town is really quaint, but we ain't no saints

And if you think we're pooh-puts, think again, we ain't

We're stormin strong, get taken out, never

Mob, stone cold terror

Not here to talk about that negative tip

Just makin sure you didn't make the mistake and slip

Not rappin all about the good times and chillin

But you can come and visit, homeboy, that's if you're

willin

If you like it so far, you think you want more?

Come Uptown and I take you on a Heavy D tour

On Mount Vernon

(1-2-3 - hit me!)

(Money, money, money - MONEY) (4x)

Born in Jamaica, Mount Vernon I grew

But I still do my shopping on 4th Avenue

Buy my Nikes from Chambers, then walk down the block

Get the gear that I wear from Buddy's Big Men Shop

When I start to get hungry and it's time to eat

Buy a burger from Shabazz on 4th Ave./3rd Street

I'll never forget the place I got my start

Around the corner from the crib, and it's called

(Park)

Now in this park I'd bang a beat on a seat

Bust a rap for the crowd that was really unique

For an eight year old kid inside the 4th grade

And when I grew they all knew that I'd get paid

And on my way up I took no shorts on the court

I played and I slayed, I learned and I taught

And shortly after that everybody was yearnin

For Hev to go down in the town of Mount Vernon

Moneyearnin' Mount Vernon

(Fellas, I'm ready to get up and do my

thang)

(Yeeeeah, gimme some mo')

(1-2-3 - hit me!)

(Gimme some mo')

In the summertime, when the heat is hot

We can cruise on 3rd Street, but you can call it the

block

Fly ladies out there in the short set suits

Nothin ugly approved cause all the girlies are cute

Would drive in my Blazer for a four-dollar fee

Written on the license plates is my name -

When it's time to chill we go to 4th Street Park

Pick up some brew from Big Lou when it gets dark

Go watch the summer league games, sip and forty and max

Cheer for the winner and watch the competiton get waxed

When that's all over it's party time

Come to the show and watch me go on a Heavy D rhyme

In Mount Vernon
