Lyte Thee MC |
From now on it’s not MC Lyte |
Listen up, everybody, it’s Lyte Thee MC |
Tackling, anyone, who tries to stop me |
From fulfilling, the ultimate, the ultimate goal |
Suckers takin up room on the microphone |
I do pay for crowds, move over, stop stalkin me |
I feel like I’m drownin and fans are just stompin me |
Bigfoot! |
Should we buck the uncivilized |
But I’m so tame I don’t, mean to criticize |
But why you sweatin we don’t, go together |
Especially if I’m muggy in the rainy kind of weather |
«Listen up, everybody, it’s Lyte Thee MC» |
Competition I take it as good for the soul |
Pull back the microphone, let my arms unfold |
Release all the anger, all the aggravation |
Convert it into words just sorta like a conversation |
I am the talker, you’re just the listener |
Talk and I’ll ignore you, is it that offensive to you? |
The problem is you can’t understand |
The logic in my rap you can’t comprehend so you |
Merely step aside, what all, call the weak |
But you’ll also step aside when I’m, comin down the street |
You’ll give me lots of room, to whistle and walk |
And then everything is silent just in case I wanna talk |
But I, I never do, small talk I like to hear |
Other girls rap and you say that I’m whack~?! |
Comin from a female that is totally dedicated |
Every rhyme I say you ought to appreciate it |
And if not I’ll tell you like I told my neighbor Dana Betty |
What? |
You ain’t ready |
For a fly female emcee you just ain’t ready |
Competition I take it as food for the mind |
Past experience from the future, is the best kind |
Of advice that you could EVER receive from another |
Whether it’s a stranger or your night time lover |
Sorry silly rabbits, Trix are for kids |
Brings back memories of the things that I did |
Played jokes on suckers, just for fun |
But now I’m much older, those days are done |
Everything is business, forget about games |
You see cause once I’m finished, you’re gonna know my name |
Is Lyte and in Brooklyn, Brooklyn’s where I’m chillin |
Better known as the emcee villain |
No I’m not good but I’m not bad either |
Come into your life it can’t get no liver |
So now, competition is taken out of my vocabulary |
I don’t vary, I bury |
Steppin up is like diggin your grave |
So sucker emcees you ought to save |
All the mess you be talkin, meanwhile hawkin |
When I’m on the stage, audience watchin |
Suckers in the corners just keep on clockin |
The way I hold the mic, the stance I use |
The rhymes I recite and the beat I choose |
But it’s not your fault because you don’t know better |
You see green I wear you go buy the same sweater |
You look me up and down sight the jeans name brand |
You go to Macy’s and for hours you stand |
On line just to buy what you saw Lyte wearin |
Don’t try to lie homegirl I caught you starin |
Cause yo, the beat is dope and the rhymes are kickin |
I’m the chickenhawk and you are the chicken |
