I got the charm and the wit of a pop hit but |
|
I'm street.. "Catch the beat" |
|
Don't drop it, just don't stop it |
|
Don't you dare step off the topic that |
|
I got a one-track mind and this track's all mind 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 |
|
What's funky is funky, you can't refuse it |
|
I got a grip on the groove and it won't move an inch until |
|
I pinch this party "Can you dig it?" "Right on" "Right on!" (4X) |
|
It's my style, love it, or lump it |
|
It's my beat, pass it or pump it and it thumps, like a heartbeat |
|
And when it gets old, it won't get weak |
|
It'll get stronger, much stronger |
|
Long live the |
|
King, but the |
|
Lyte lives longer |
|
It's well argumented and well documented |
|
I hold the title of the best, you can't prevent it |
|
With a ten foot pole, you can't 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" "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 |
|
It's hard to do, but |
|
I pull it through |
|
Cause I'm |
|
Lyte the M |
|
C, that's 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 let's go the bottom line, is |
|
I'm funk bound |
|
K-Rock and |
|
Master T, let's get down "Can you dig it?" "Right on" "Right on!" (8X) |
