Heavy D - Moneyearnin' Mount Vernon Lyrics
[James Brown] (Funky)
[The O'Jays] (Money, money, money)
(Funky)
(Funky)
(Money, money, money)
(Funky)
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) [x2]
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
[Name] 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) [x4]
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 ([Name] 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
[James Brown] (Fellas, I'm ready to get up and do my thang)
[The JB's] (Yeeeeah, gimme some mo')
(1-2-3 - hit me!)
(Funky)
(Funky)
(Funky)
(Gimme some mo')
(Funky)
(Funky)
(Funky)
(Gimme some mo')
(1-2-3 hit me!)
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

(for Dwight Arrington Myers) May 24, 1967 --- Nov. 8, 2011

Today I shed tears
For the man who was
Light on his feet and
Easy on the ears
The party rapper
Who gave us hits like
Money Earnin' Mt. Vernon,
Mr. Big Stuff and Now That
We Found Love
Who exited our earthly stage
on Nov. 8 and is now rapping
with the angels above.
I remember when I use to blast
his albums in my bedroom in
the late 80's and early nineties,
My mother would yell up the stairs,
'turn that down!!'
I did for a few minutes
then I'd turn it back up and she'd
come upstairs and find me-
Then she picked up the album and looked at the cover
and asked me 'who is that rapping?'
My reply was it's 'the OverWeight Lover!'
Then she said 'he sampled James Brown,
I like that... it's okay, Doreen, you don't have
to turn it down.'
Then she started tapping her foot and bobbing her head
Then she asked me 'is there a video for this record'
and with a smile 'yes' is what I said.
On that day I was so happy my mother took interest in one of my favorite MC's
So from the bottom of my heart I want to say I love you Heavy thanks for the memories..
Those were simpler times. Everything made sense.
Heavy D
Mt Vernon🕺🏾

mike of dc I'm 38 and remember very well
my first and always will be my only rapper crush love you heavy D wish you was still here ...my only wish was to meet you in person
I miss Heavy D!!! He was one of my favorites! This tune is so special to me because back in the days I was always curious to know where my Vernon was until I saw one of the maps of NY and I noticed it a suburb that was right next to the Bronx. I the summer of '97 I remember visiting " Mt Vernon for the first time after visiting the Yankee Stadium in Bronx!!!!!! I stopped at the KFC on Sanford Blvd an chilled before I went for a drive around the four square mile town!!!!! It was great memorable moment!!
This shit trash lowkey
The merc is a crime 🤒
But the song rocks
I've never seen this video before. I like this song, Uncle Hev. My favorite's always gon be _Somebody For Me._ I also love _You Can't See What I Can See._ R.I.P.
Miss You Heavy !
Sincerely Your Hip Hop Big Brother !
Wayne Will
Yeah man
CA BR ON
Aint no money earning!!!!! MURDAVILLE 914!!!!!!
Hempstead and Mt Vern are very similiar
thewilloughby605 how?
I'm Thinking Hempstead is baby Queens because Mount Vernon is the baby Bronx … Can't forget New Rochelle and Yonkers, New York
Zeke Yonkers is more Bronx than MT. Vernon. Hempstead and Vernon are similar because they are small predominantly black cities outside of a major city (NYC)
DOPE !!! THUMP UP !!!!
RIP Trouble T Roy - Heavy D

Does anybody know if Pete Rock helped produce this jam or not? I dont think he touched it but who knows.
Nah, Dj Eddie F did this one and Teddy Riley had a hand in the production on other classics from his debut album(Pete wasn't on yet).....Al B. Sure! doing the vocals(being extra for the fun of it)
