[ female voice ] i just want you to understand | |
I just want you to understand | |
[ male voice] - understand what? | |
[ verse 1 ] | |
I met a guy named tommy, damn, he charmed me | |
Met him at the mall, but i knew he wouldn't harm me | |
We exchanged numbers, hopin to meet again | |
We couldn't wait for the romance to begin | |
The relationship grew strong | |
I didn't wanna be right if this love was wrong | |
But oh no, came the problems, the first segment | |
The dumb kid went and got some girl pregnant | |
The second segment: started wheelin and dealin | |
Didn't give a damn about how lyte was feelin | |
But then he got wise, started treatin me better | |
Cause all of his friends said i was a go-getter | |
He knew he was usin me, and abusin me | |
He also knew that soon he'd be losin me | |
First i clocked him, yeah, i docked him | |
But i rocked him - and then i dropped him | |
[ verse 2 ] | |
Then there was dave, couldn't behave | |
So i punished him and put him in my lyte-as-a-rock cave | |
Then he got bold, tried to play insane | |
So bigfoot threw him off my paperthin train | |
He tried to 10%-dis me, but he pissed me off | |
Cause i'm the boss, and you know i'm not havin it | |
Lyte is too dope, and you know i ain't crabbin it | |
Then there was henry, way too friendly | |
I needed a trip, he said he would send me | |
Pay my airfare, if he could come with me | |
I said, "listen, honey, i don't need your money | |
Believe me when i tell you, i've got my own | |
Cause i'm mc lyte on the microphone" | |
Yeah | |
[ verse 3 ] | |
Here's another story: a dude named corey | |
When i used to work, yes, i was a clerk | |
At the worldtrade center, back in high school | |
This little player musta thought i was a fool | |
He took me out to lunch, offered me a ride home | |
When we got there, he asked could he use my telephone | |
I said, "yeah, sure", flipped him to the floor | |
Cause he said "what's up?" and tried to feel my butt | |
I kicked him down the stairs and said, "what you're provin?" | |
Rolled him to his car and said, "get movin!" | |
He tried to score it, i wasn't goin for it | |
You can't play me, i'm lyte thee mc | |
Never saw his face again until last week | |
All beat up and bleedin down the street | |
I looked to my left, there was a girl with a pipe in her hand | |
Sayin, "why oh why can't you understand?" |
female voice i just want you to understand | |
I just want you to understand | |
male voice understand what? | |
