Laughing at You
Big Pun;Tony Sunshine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Hahaha
Do you see me now?
You remember me?
The guy from the back of the class
That used to wear the glasses, the one you used to laugh at (hahaha)
Look at me now brother (hahaha)
Do you like fruit?
Well I'm chewin' your girls nipples

How do you like them apples, asshole?

I'm laughing at you
I'm laughing at you now
You told me I was ugly
I was scared to crack a smile (ha ha ha ha ha)
I'm laughing at you now (ha ha ha ha ha)
I'm laughing at you

600 Benz, twenty inch rims
House on the hill, hittin' mad skins
Ha (ha) ha (ha) ha (ha) ha, ha ha ha ha ha
It was all a scheme, I used to load the TEC with the magazine
Sure I was mean, but I still had a scheme
Seventeen years young, everything seemed fun
Still considered a veteran 'cause I feared none (feared none)
Pun's from the street where there ain't no rules
But carried heat 'cause he ain't no fool
Ain't no room for dollars in negative digits
So I deaded all the followers and got rid of the quitters
Should never forget us (nope) 'cause we've been down since the Genesis
From 200 horsepower (what?) to 400 Pegasus (come on)
The message is don't sleep 'til its over
Next thing you know, shorty seven feet Villanova
I'm still in the water drownin'
Nights are murder 'til the immortal Terror Squad
Threw me a life preserver now I'm ice forever
Stomach bustin' out the white Carrera
Life is better now niggas wanna ride together
¡Ay qué será!
What can I do but take you to strive?
¡Ay mi tierra!
I hope the streets don't take me alive
You wasted your life and refused the struggle
While I aim for the sky, pay dues and bubbles
I win (I win)

I'm laughing at you
I'm laughing at you now
You told me I was ugly
I was scared to crack a smile (ha ha ha ha ha)
I'm laughing at you now (ha ha ha ha ha)
I'm laughing at you

600 Benz, twenty inch rims
House on the hill, hittin' mad skins
Ha (ha) ha (ha) ha (ha) ha, ha ha ha ha ha
Now it's not funny 'cause I'm hot and got a pot of money
A lot of hunnies around (don't stop) do the brown for me
My every wish is her command, call her "bitch" she understands
I reminisce how she used to diss me and my man
Check part of the plan, she told my son I wasn't the man
I ain't gon' to stop 'til I got her heart in my hand
I can silence the lamb but couldn't silence the sister
She was wild as a man with a bottle of liquor
I'm not gonna hit her, I'ma dead her tonight
Double platinum (cha-ching)
Now she want in the tribe, want in the ride, now (say what?)
Wantin' to fly, get high, now
No more White Owls, ship the Cubans straight from Fidel
Now, it's my world, I demand my respect
Give me your girl or get slapped in your neck
Ain't nothin' change, I'm still humble and modest
And I'm always proud to admit I came straight from the projects
Hardy har har har

Don't you (don't you) forget about me, now
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you (don't you) forget about me, now
I said, don't, don't, don't, don't (don't you forget about me)
Na, na, na, na (na, na)
Na, na, na, na (na, na, na)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na (na, na-na, na, na, na)

Na, na, na, na (no, no, no)
Na, na, na, na (don't forget about me)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Don't you (don't you) forget about me, now
I said, don't, don't, don't, don't

I'm laughing at you (I'm laughing at you)
I'm laughing at you, now (I'm laughing at you, now)
You told me I was ugly
I was scared to crack a smile
(I was scared, but now I'm laughing at you)
I'm laughing at you, now (oh yeah)
I'm laughing at you

Hahahaha
Hahahaha
Hahahaha
Ha ha ha ha hahahahaha (oh)

Ooh, oh oh

I'm laughing at you baby, now
Oh yeah
