Lyte Thee MC

[MC Lyte] 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 [Chorus: chop up this phrase] "Listen up, everybody, it's Lyte Thee MC" [MC Lyte] 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 [Chorus] [MC Lyte] 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 [Chorus] [MC Lyte] 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 [Chorus]
