Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can rock a party with a glass of Hennessy
I know I make y'all sick with the way I boogie
My fake ass friends want to hang out tonight
I'll tell 'em follow me then I'll ditch 'em at the light
I see 'em at the club, they want to know why I'm whilin'
'Cause I smoke weed now I'm high like a pilot
Spendin' more cheese than you throw on a salad
Hand me my mic, if you 'bout it, them I'm 'bout it
[Verse 2]
Mmmm, yeah I'm 'bout it
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
I'm the MC Lyte, boo boo, but please don't crowd me
'Cause my security might get rowdy
Make 'em punch you out, watch your vision go cloudy
Now all you freaks want to speak 'cause I'm black
Stick to your gossip like the glue to your tracks
I never liked your ass, by the way, 'cause you're wack
Give a dog a bone, so here's a Lyte snack
[Verse 3]
Yo yo, want what I got?
Come through then
You at home with a safe you ain't got nothin' in
Ask how I got it and keep it comin' in
From hustlin', doublin' and publishin'
[Verse 4]
Want what I got?
Come through then
You at home with a safe you ain't got nothin' in
Ask how I got it and keep it comin' in
From hustlin', doublin' and publishin'
[Verse 5]
Used to be a rookie singin' Latti Datti
Now me and Missy be cool rockin' the party
Flooded Movado ain't I fly through
Never let 'em see you comin', that's my motto
I'm on it, I'm on it, I had the **** goin'
Said I was a hot tamale, mind blowin'
It's crucial how some folks get bourgeois
Or bourgeois, did I lose you or did you lose me?
Either way we miles apart
I'm hittin' the ribbon, you at the start
I'm never, ever, ever gonna let you think
That your shit don't stink
So don't come around here thinkin' you can't get it
You'll be the first to admit it
How you got punked by hip hop's greatest
Missy and Lyte, bringin' you the latest
[Verse 6]
Yo yo, want what I got?
Come through then
You at home with a safe you ain't got nothin' in
Ask how I got it and keep it comin' in
From hustlin', doublin' and publishin'
[Verse 7]
Want what I got?
Come through then
You at home with a safe you ain't got nothin' in
Ask how I got it and keep it comin' in
From hustlin', doublin' and publishin'
[Verse 8]
I treat **** like they my ho
Blaze 'em then I go
Straight to the Nikko
Meet another Puerto Rico
Cute like tico
Copy me like kinko
You know I'ma freak, yo
I don't love them amigos
I'm straight to their pockets
Blow all their sockets
So plush like carpet
They wanna stick the target
I don't give a fuck what you rock
'Cause you see what I got
You want what I got?
[Verse 9]
Want what I got?
Come through then
You at home with a safe you ain't got nothin' in
Ask how I got it and keep it comin' in
From hustlin', doublin' and publishin'
[Verse 10]
Want what I got?
Come through then
You at home with a safe you ain't got nothin' in
Ask how I got it and keep it comin' in
From hustlin', doublin' and publishin'
[Verse 11]
Want what I got?
Want what I got?
Come through then
You at home with a safe you ain't got nothin' in
Ask how I got it and keep it comin' in
From hustlin', doublin' and publishin'
