You can cha-cha-cha to this |
|
Mardis Gras |
|
I'm the dopest female that you've heard thus far |
|
And I do get better, the voice gets wetter |
|
Nobody gets hurt (as long as you let her) |
|
Do my thing with an '89 swing |
|
The dopeness |
|
I write, I guarantee delight |
|
To the hip-hop maniac, the |
|
Uptown brainiac |
|
In full effect, |
|
MC Lyte is back |
|
And better than before as if that was possible |
|
My competition, you'll find them in the hospital |
|
Visiting time, |
|
I think it's on a |
|
Sunday But notice they only get one day to shine |
|
The rest of the week is mine |
|
And I'll blind you with the science that the others have yet to find |
|
So come along and |
|
I'll lead you the right way |
|
Just clap your hands to the words |
|
I say, come on... [Kick this one here for me and my DJ] |
|
I've got the power to spread out and devour |
|
At the same time |
|
I'll eat you up with a rhyme |
|
But I'll let you slide cuz you accidently hopped on the wrong side |
|
Now come on, that's suicide |
|
Hypothetically speaking |
|
Ok, let's say you didn't know what you were doing |
|
You're new in town, and you're looking around |
|
For another name to ruin, and it's me that you're pursuing? |
|
Well well well, |
|
I'll be damned |
|
I might as well tell you who |
|
I am I am the capital |
|
L-Y-T-E And it's shocking |
|
I'm the one you're mocking |
|
Oh yes, I've been watching you watching me |
|
And like the fat on your back it's plain to see |
|
That you're a wannabe, but you can't be what you're not |
|
So you better start living with what you got [Kick this one here for me and my DJ] |
|
Yeah, DJ K- |
|
Rock when you hear a scratch |
|
Now it's time to kick a rhyme out the batch |
|
And you're the receiver eager as a beaver |
|
Time to convert the non-believer |
|
That I'm a roadrunner leaving you in the dust |
|
I can adjust to the times and at times |
|
I might just get quicker |
|
Than the ticker of your pacemaker |
|
More tender than a roni but harder than a jawbreaker |
|
So don't ever second guess me |
|
And if you're wondering who could the best be |
|
Think a second and recollect the worst whipping you ever had yet |
|
And I'll bet that |
|
I did it My fingerprints are still on you |
|
How many times |
|
I gotta warn you |
|
About the light? |
|
It'll blind your sight |
|
But the rhythm will still guide you through the night [Kick this tip... Kick this one here for me and my DJ] |
