Mc Lyte

[ VERSE 1 ]
I used to be in love with this guy named Sam
I don't know why, cause he had the head like that of a clam
But you couldn't tell me nothin, cause Sam was number one
Cause to me, oh my gosh, he was one in a million
I shoulda knew the consequences right from the start
That he'd use me for my money, and then break my heart
But like a fool in love I fell for his game
But I got mine, so I show no shame
In Empire winked his eye, and then he kept walkin
And all of those who live in Brooklyn know just what I'm talkin
The roller disco where we all used to go
Just to have some fun back in 1981
You know the place, Empire Boulevard
Is where I first saw the nigga, and he tried to play hard
But I knew the deal, cause I knew his brother Jerry
And Sam, he just broke up with his girlfriend Terry
So Jerry introduced Sam and I that night
He said, Hello, my name is Sam I said, Hi, my name is Lyte
We dipped and we dapped and we chit and we chat
About this and that, from sneakers to hats
He said, Look, I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
(Let's go) To my house, lay back and get nice
Watch television, Reunite On Ice
I said, Slow down, I know you wanna shake me down
But I'm not one of the girls to go rippin around
(Just like a test
Ju-just like a test
Ju-just like a test
I cram to understand you)

Next month I finally went to his house
I walked into the door, there was a girl on the couch
I said, Who's the frog, the bump on the log?
You chump, you punk, how could you do me wrong?
Singing sad songs about your love is so strong
You said, Wait Lyte, you're confused, the girl is my cousin
Your brother agreed, but later she said that she wasn't
(Just like a test
Ju-just like a test
Ju-just like a test
I cram to understand U)

Forgotten, next month we went to the Deuce
Well, I thought it kinda strange cause you had lots of juice
You knew the dopes, the pushers, the addicts, everybody
Asked ya how you met em, said you met em at a party
Then these girls tried to tell me you were sellin the stuff
I said, It's not your business, so shut the fuck up
