(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
[Chorus] (Are you rockin' the spot?) Yes I be (Showin' others they do not?) Yes I be (Havin' them 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!)
[Chorus] (Are you rockin' the spot?) Yes I be (Showin' them others they do not?) Yes I be (Havin' them 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're servin' pasta!) Posdnuos help the necks get loose
[Verse 3: Posdnuos] Like an alcohol scenario, rap be on the rocks Authenticity's that missin' fee to pay to join the flock of MC These niggas 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, they say they inflict pain R&B niggas lie to mother, sister, and daughter To have sex disguised as lovin' in the rain Their words are more hollow than October 31st But what's worse, is 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 being exposed So you better take your naked ass and put on some clothes
[Outro] Man this be goin' out to the kids from East Mass (Long Island) Amityville (Long Island) To all my people out in Wyandanch, Bayshore (Long Island) C.I.'s in the place (Long Island) Brentwood, 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 prevail (Long Island)

Genius Annotation1 contributor
On “Wonce Again Long Island”, Wonder Why takes the stand to drop 3 dope verses that all revolve around dropping knowledge about the cons of being a Hip-Hop star.
From the fear of fame as a youth, the constant misunderstanding of why rappers do what they do, and the lack of authenticity colleagues have.
