Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am the Lyte
I am, I am, I am the Lyte
I am the Lyte
I am, I am, I am the Lyte
[Verse 2]
Examine the style used in this sequence
The rhyme's the clue, the record's evidence
To the fact that I'm hypin' this episode
Co-carryin' the extra wide load
The beat is fat and the rhyme is thick
All over the town you hear the sound and pick
Me, the L, the Y, the T, the E (The Lyte)
Me, and if you see the Rock, I'm sure you'll see
[Verse 3]
Me (Hey, Lyte, what will you be doin'?)
Kickin' it, bashin' down competition (The Lyte)
And when I drop the bomb, you'll listen
Boom, now that I've got you attention
I'm slammin' what you wanna hear
I just thought that I should mention
'89 is the Lyte year
Now's the time to roll like a rhinoceros (The Lyte)
Step to Lyte, that's preposterous
[Verse 4]
I'm heavyweight, though I'm lightweight
My look's the hook, my rhymes, the bait
And when I threw the line you proceed to take
The goody, the treat that I hand you
That you couldn't refuse (The Lyte)
Damn, my grand understand you
You love is to Lyte to lose
[Verse 5]
I am the Lyte
I am, I am, I am the Lyte
I am, I am the Lyte
I am, I am, I am the Lyte, the Lyte, the Lyte (Pump it up)
[Verse 6]
I am the Lyte
I am, I am the Lyte
I, I am, I am the Lyte
I am the Lyte, the Lyte, the Lyte (Pump it up)
[Verse 7]
I think you deserve this, you waited long enough
For a rhyme that's super-duper extra tough
Every human is lurkin' and loomin'
Puba on the beat and you know the shit is boomin' (The Lyte)
Tasty like pastry, fresh from the bakery
First priority, that's the way it has to be
Feel the drum, I bet it makes your body numb
One for all, and all for one, I bet you come
[Verse 8]
Hurry, hurry, step right up and see the show
MC Lyte and K-Rock are about to throw
Get on line a purchase your ticket
(Hey, don't worry) Lyte is gonna kick it (The Lyte)
(Go on, be happy) I put you up on the scoop
Now come and watch the party hoop
[Verse 9]
I am the Lyte, the Lyte
I am the Lyte, the Lyte, the Lyte
I am the Lyte
I am, I am, I am the Lyte, the Lyte, the Lyte (Go pump it)
[Verse 10]
I am the Lyte
I am, I am, I am the Lyte (Pump it up, pump, pump it up)
I am the Lyte
I am, I am, I am the Lyte, the Lyte, the Lyte (Baby not in effect)
[Verse 11]
I am the Lyte, and it is time for me to go
You wanna beef, save that shit for the toilet bowl
I use styles, styles and much many styles
I leave smiles, smiles and much many smiles
On the people who come to see the Lyte perform
(Word is bond)
The rhyme will kick as the brain will tick
You can tell because the record'll sell
Old styles and new styles formatted together
Bold or dull, so it doesn't matter whether (The Lyte)
Which comes first or vice-a-versa
It won't make a difference as long as you rehearse-a
Get it down pat, and come right and exact
MC Lyte is comin' right and I'ma say goodnight
[Verse 12]
The Lyte, the Lyte
The Lyte
The Lyte, the Lyte
The Lyte (Pump it up)
[Verse 13]
I am the Lyte
I am, I am the Lyte (Pump it up, pump, pump it up)
I am, I am, I am the Lyte
I am the Lyte, the Lyte, the Lyte
[Verse 14]
Yeah, MC Lyte in effect for '89
One time to wreck that mind, boy
Yeah, ah, pump, pump, pump it up
Yeah
Sure enough
[Verse 15]
MC Milk, warlord of the mix-board
In effect, sure shot
Yeah, pump, pump
