Now that's strange behaviour Drink and drive, yeah, you're probably safer Cause when I start, I never give slack You feel like a 'kick me' sign was pinned to your back Yes I'm the super-duper with the roper-doper Got the clean drawers on, yeah, I hope ya Do, because I'm gonna strip you of your peace of mind Now your piece is mine, damn, that's unkind Come on, admit it, the Lyte is too fly The rhymes that I say you can't deny Because 100% is what I give it (Say what?) I haunt the house with the hip-hop spirit I tear it, repair it Like a hand-me-down make you wear it Save all your crocodile tears, grin and bear it And with all your other brothers you're gonna share it You hear me, junior? Cause soon you'll Be a grown man with the mic in your hand And understand biting's not part of the plan That's wrong, I thought I taught you better than that But that's what you get from a stabber in the back Stop, stop Look, look Listen [ VERSE 3 ] M.C. - Master of Creativity Rappin is the activity Rhyme is the sport, let it be taught That Lyte Thee MC is takin no shorts In '88 I was great, but '89 is my time Stop, look, and listen - to the right rhyme K-Rock the DJ throws the cuts my way Put em on the reel-to-reel and let them play Leg 1 and Leg 2, they do the jumpin The dancin, the pumpin, always up to somethin But when it comes to the rap category MC Lyte headlines the story (Extra, extra, read all about it) (Comin out fresh and flier than we did before) (Listen up everybody) ABOUT UPROXX VIDEO: UPROXX Video celebrates Hip-Hop, Style, and Creativity through a mix of original shows and music videos from the biggest artists, entertainers, and innovators from our culture.
