Mc Lyte

I got the charm and the wit of a pop hit
but Im street.. "Catch the beat"
Dont drop it, just dont stop it
Dont you dare step off the topic
that I got a one-track mind and this tracks all mine
the whole three four five six seven eight nine
in the pocket, burstin in the air are rockets
Creatin lots of Lyte -- get it?
How many different ways can I say it?
Piano Man, how many ways can you play it?
I spell it out, the L-Y-T-E
Without a doubt "Got to be funky!"
And it damn sho nuff is
It gotta be like that, in this rough biz
of music, baby, use it or lose it
Whats funky is funky, you cant refuse it
I got a grip on the groove and it wont move
an inch until I pinch this party
"Can you dig it?" "Right on" (4X)
Its my style, love it, or lump it
Its my beat, pass it or pump it
and it thumps, like a heartbeat
And when it gets old, it wont get weak
Itll get stronger, much stronger
Long live the King, but the Lyte lives longer
Its well argumented and well documented
I hold the title of the best, you cant prevent it
With a ten foot pole, you cant hold em
Born to be wild is what a song once told me
was my destiny, so I strive to be the best
Lo and behold..
Every rhyme I write, you gots to chant them
Every song I sing, a national anthem
Is there a message in my music?
If I can do it -- you can do it!
"Can you dig it?" "Right on" (8X)
The L, Y, T, E, has to make
funky funky funky hit records Constantly!
So in the advent of an event
I have to invent a dope style - comment...
I come off with flyin colors
I keep my own identity, compared to no others
Its hard to do, but I pull it through
Cause Im Lyte the MC, thats what I do
The body snatcher, yo I gots to catch a
MC head up, bring on a batch of
new ones, so I can systematically do em
The old ones, HUH, I already been through em
Two by two, I do em like Noah
Yes you know the time, so lets go
the bottom line, is Im funk bound
K-Rock and Master T, lets get down
"Can you dig it?" "Right on" (8X)
