1. _ K-rock's The Man
[k-rock]
Is it a crime - because it's my time to bust a rhyme
A dope line to make the crowd behind me climb
And then twine to a tune that milk produced
To make the party people get loose
On the dancefloor, so don't try to hide
Cause i designed the rhyme that make your back-bone slide
To the music, cause it's uplifting
Some may try, but they can't get with this
But it's nothing for y'all to compete with
It's just some smooth shit that's legit
To make you get up when you're at a party
And move.. your.. sexy.. body
Up, down, side to side, around
Come one, come all, come see what we found
A way for y'all to work out y'all frustrations
And groove with the band.. k-rock's the man
Now hurry hurry, step right up
To my sideshow, and watch how my rhymes flow
I let my galant talent illuminate
So give three cheers for, k-rock the great
Don't debate, the votes are castin
This is one race that i could never come last in
Boy you know that the k don't play
You can't step to me, don't sleep on a dj
K-rock, because blockheads i knock
And rock the sock into a state of shock
That's how it's supposed to be
And that goes for those who step close to me
So when you see me, show respect
Cause i met get upset and cold strip and snap the necks
Of all of those who don't understand
That k-rock.. k-rock's the man

2. _ Mickey Slipper
[lyte] ready?
[guy] no.
[lyte] oh!
[lyte] *whistling scrappy doo* puppy, power!
[lyte] *beatboxing like a pro*
[guy] okay, hello!
[lyte] watch your drin.. what? watch your drink!
No no.. i think i'm too late, am i too late?
Hit it!
I'm coolin in the sun, on a beach in the cabana
Sippin on some vodka in a glass with tropicana
I'm chillin and i'm chompin on a turkey shish-ka-bob
Too far from work to hear the phone ring at the job
Men in bikinis, g-strings should i say
Waitin for the daddy-long-one to come my way
Here he comes now, i feel i start to sweat
Blunder but i wonder just how wet will i get
He offers me his hand, of course you know i take it
Until he tells me that he wants to swim a little naked
My eyes are bulgin, i black out, damn it's black as tar
Woke up i don't know when, sittin at the bar
I know it's hard to follow, the story's kinda tricky
What i didn't know was somebody slipped a mickey
Into my drink, which caused a fantasy
And somehow slapped me back into reality!
Wish i had another mickey i'd go back for a quickie
Find the daddy-long-one that was surely tryin to get me
This just goes to show, you must stop and think
When you're out partyin, never leave your drink..
Word!

3. _ Can You Dig It
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 mc, 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)

* dj cuts and scratches "this is mc lyte.." *
[mc lyte]
Moonroof open, in the b.m.
Windows tinted, they can't see in..

Mc lyte, she's bigger than bolo
Gusto, gusto, i got so much so
You could have some, you just got to lay low
Do as i say so and don't try to fess
Do whatcha wanna just clean up the mess
I'm here, arrrrrruff, kick it in the rear
Rhymes and rhymes and rhymes i gots to spare
Act like you know
The things that i do just ain't for show
This is my living, so i am giving
Everything i got if not a lot more
For the people, for the buyers
For all of those that seem to want to try a
Mc lyte tape in your benzi box
What can i say? hey, thanks a lot
Cause i'll flip and trip and do all that good shit
That's why the brothers, they can't get off my tip

Like i said, i'm in the b.m.
Swingin it solo, enjoyin my freedom
Turn the radio on, nuttin but weak raps
Slide the tape in, that's where it's at
Look up at the sign and i see winthrop
Can't hear nuttin so i turn down the hip-hop
Window down, reggae hit or somethin
Now hear a little shotty go pow-pow-pow
Brooklyn 90's, that's where i'm at
Reached to the back seat, get the baseball hat
Now i'm chillin so act like you know
This is my show

[mc lyte]
Abra-cadabra, hocus pocus
I got somethin that'll make your eyes focus
Takin on the world, slammin it and bangin it
Keepin it hard, but still i'm changin it
Breakin all types of grounds
Here comes wolf and epic with the new sound
They get the job done
The name of the year is lyte slash ninety-one
So i'm chillin, in the b.m.
Waitin for those, that might see in
Straighten my jacket, fix my hair
Turn up the system, as i prepare
To let the whole wide world know
This is my show
Now that i've schooled you and put you up on the scoop
Posse or massive, solo or group
Take it in stride, it's an inside
Top secret heavy duty type of thing that i'm swingin
I got the key to success but i won't press
I'm sure that i can relieve you, of the stress
If you ad-mit, and just per-mit
Me to go for mine and drop a line and ex-it
So just agree with me and simply act like you know
This is my show!

5. _ Beyond The Hype
I, am, back on the scene
I'm takin it to the extremes
New blend, i've been schemin
Raw type stuff i know you've been fiendin
Waitin for, such a long time
For mc lyte to drop another dope rhyme
Well i deliver as quick as you call my name
I'm beyond the hype, beyond the fame
So now, i prove to you
That i can shake you groove you and move you too
I am, too much to bear
To touch and then share
Once you've had one taste one touch one bite
All you want is m-c lyte!
And i deliver as quick as you call my name
I'm beyond the hype, beyond the fame
Chorus:
We've got to try to move beyond
I'm comin
We've got to try to break on through
To the extreme
We've got to try to move beyond
Beyond the hype
We've got to try to break on through!
Can't, you, see, i'm beyond the hype
And all that type of jazz and pizazz
I'm, into, reality
Forget the fantasy, this is me
Beyond the hype, so don't believe
What you read, cause they'll deceive
So now i come to you
Telling no lies, the truth is in my eyes
Unlike the broadcasters on the news
Who try to tell you, the donts and the do's
The media blows things out of proportion
The public's eye, proceed with caution
It's a dog eat dog world
But we'll be alright
All we gots to do is stick together
And move beyond the hype
Chorus 2x (w/ variations)
You, must, trust when i say i'm here to stay
And believe i'll never leave
Haste, makes, waste
The track is all that, so pick up the pace
Forget the rumors, gossip, shit-talk
Besides that's old news, and that can walk
I'm beyond that, you are also
Release the negative vibe and let it go
So now, i come to you
Bearing gifts that certainly uplift
From coast to coast, midwest i'm the most
But still, not on a high post
I'm comin, just call my name
Beyond the hype, beyond the fame
Down to earth, i'm just that type
To take you and move beyond the hype
Chorus 2x (w/ variations)
I'm comin (3x)
To the extreme
Beyond the hype
Beyond the hype...

6. _ All That
There's a song.. that i sing.. whenever i'm sad.. feelin bad
[mc lyte]
It was a date, a simple little fuckin date
Or so i thought, wasn't that my great mistake
He picked me up at eight, from my crib
We went to dinner and he ordered babyback ribs
What a waste, a waste of the mind and body
And then he said, "lyte, would you like to go and party?"
I thought about it, and then i said, "no!
Pay for my food motherfucker and let's go!"
He said, "my, aren't we agressive.."
Damn right, and i'm also perceptive
I know your kind, you roam around the fuckin town
You wanna slap it, flip it, and rub it down
You want some booty but you're gettin none this way
You better ask suzy sally or that girl fay
You gets none, you hear me you cheesy rat?
Because i'm lyte, and i'm havin none of that
Chorus: mc lyte
I'm all that, yes i'm all that
You ask how? i'm all that now
I'm all of that, yes i'm all that
And rollin through your hood with a baseball bat
[mc lyte]
First i head out, into the red-eyed
Turn the ac, so it feels cool inside
Step in the jam, baring good news
Although for some folks, i bring the blues
Always solo, no relyin on a posse
I see what you see, do you see what i see?
I see suckers, many pucker-uppers
Ass-kissers, as well as buttlickers
Many many that will do me good and plenty
Don't know me from adam, but wanna get with me
Claimin they will do or have done or have did me
Talkin that yang, your ass'll get slapped
Because i'm lyte and i'm havin none of that
Chorus
[mc lyte]
That!! that!!
[answering machine]
Aiyyo milk, aiyyo milk, this is teddy b
Yo i just checked out lyte's new cut (that!! that!!)
And yo it's all that, all that
Yo i get with you, peace!
[mc lyte]
Back, way back when, shit wasn't funny
I'm talkin l-q days, your gold and your money
If you wore gold, the shit was gettin taken
Hard rocks, don't even bother fakin
Cause they can sense a sucker as soon as they saw ya
And oh well, how i felt sorry for the
Razor in my pocket, for my protection
Blackjack in my bag for a little selection
You got beef? bitch, chose your weapon
I sliced and diced, and then i kept steppin
For me to go for that woulda just been wack
Because i'm lyte, and i'm havin none of that
Chorus
[answering machine]
(that!! that!!)
Yo yo, yo lyte, you there?
(that!! that!!)
Alright i just called to see if you was still shittin on wax
Yo and don't make that shit soft alright?
Yo pump it up
Alright when you get in just give me a buzz

7. _ Lola From The Copa
Lola hopped into a cab, she went to work
As she walked into the club, the fellas went bezerk
They screamed her name out -- lola, lola
Yeah, she was the star of the copa
She smiled and danced til morning
Lola took uppers, to stop her from yawning
For the finale, she got an applause
Lola was gracious, she didn't do tours
She felt appreciated, just like a star
But for the meanwhile, she got a drink from the bar
Lola had no kids and lost her mother
Her lover used drugs and left her for another
But little did she know that she would make love tonight
She'd do it willingly without puttin up a fight
Lola.. she was a showgirl..
With yellow ribbons in her hair..
And a dress right up to here..
At the bar, his name was zeke the freak
He just moved in down the street
He introduced himself and bought her a drink
Before she could refuse, she didn't stop to think
More and more alcohol, now she was intoxicated
He picked her up off her feet, as he escapaded
Down the block then he opened the door
As he struggled to get in, then put her on the floor
He went to the door to make sure that it was locked
As he bolted all of them, he looked up at the clock
It said one, or maybe he'd be done in two
Or two and three, eventually, how freaky could he be?
He began to think what should i do firstly?
I'll get a little drink, because i'm very thirsty
He got a little oj, to make it really ok
Grabbed a wad of hubba bubba, but didn't use a rubber
They did it for three hours, he jumped into the shower
Got out and towel dried, and screamed, "i've got the power!"
He came out of the bathroom, she was still on the floor
He said, "heck i've got to wreck," then he jumped on for more
Lola.. (uh-huh) she was a showgirl..
With yellow ribbons in her hair..
And a dress right up to here..
She met this guy named zeke..
Who was truly a freak..
And she didn't stop to think..
Before she took that sunrise drink..
She finally awoke, eight o'clock in the morning
Not remembering a stroke, as she began yawning
Zeke the freak thought he was thick and slick
But what zeke did not know
Is that little lola, little lola
From the copa used to be a hoe
Now he's paid, thought he had it made
But zeke the freak got aids
Lola.. she was a showgirl.. (yeah)
With yellow ribbons in her hair..
And a dress right up to here..
She met this guy named zeke..
Who was truly a freak..
And she didn't stop to think..
Before she took that sunrise drink..
He caught a bad one..
While he was havin fun..
Took lola to his bed
And now the freak is -- dead.

8. _ 2 Young 4 What
"i'm the dopest female.."
"i'm the dopest female that you've heard thus far.."
[mc lyte]
I'm too old? what's with that crap?
Come on now brother, age is just a number
Anyway what matters is your state of mind
And if you give me some time i'll make your heart all mine
I don't like pushin and i don't like rushin
But most of all i don't like fussin
So come on now sweetie why don't ya stop frontin
Besides older folks come equipped for good lovin
Are you really serious? age really matters?
I thought telling you this, you would be flattered
Well i guess i was wrong cause you still ain't widdit
.. oh well, forget it, nope nope
But don't you dare touch me, you said you wasn't widdit
You waited too long now, lyte is not havin it
I coulda showed you things, taught you how to explore
My question is, what are you too young for?
I coulda shown you things that you never seen before
Took you all around on my wild world tour
But you're too young, too young to have fun
.. oh well, i'm done
"i'm the dopest female.."
"i'm the dopest female that you've heard thus far.."
..
"i'm the dopest female that you've heard thus far.."
[mc lyte]
It may sound nasty and it may sound mean
But i'm into little boys that are about seventeen
I don't know why, but they put up a fight
And hot damn that excites the mc lyte
Cause yo i love a young buck, that give a firm {fuck}
But once in a while, they become lovestruck
But that's okay though, cause i can handle them
I love young boys on the brink, of being young men
I mold em, shape em, make em then i break em in
They get the job done, i make em get the job done
Well, swell, make em kiss and tell
All of their friends around the neighborhood
That lyte is good, soul food good
So tell me honey, are you ready to score?
Again i'll ask, what are you too young for?
"i'm the dopest female.."
"i'm the dopest female.."
..
"i'm the dopest female that you've heard thus far.."
"i'm the dopest female that you've heard thus far.."
[mc lyte]
Last but not least yo here's a description
Hard workin, not one that sells prescription
So if you're in school, that's okay
Get straight a's and i'll be back on friday
You won't miss me, you know where to find me
And these words i will say finally
Never let age, restrict you from whatcha wanna do
Whether you're young or ninety-two
So if you're seventeen or around that age..
.. baby come to the stage
And if i didn't change your mind i'd find that odd
So when i ask this, think hard..
"call me the master.."
"call me the master.."
"swingin with master t.."

9. _ Poor Georgie
I met him in a club hangin out one night
He said, "hello i'm george.. hi lyte!
How's everything goin, huh, how ya doin?
Hope everything's fine, ooh, and umm
Can i call you sometime? can i get the digits?
And the address, so i can come visit?"
I gave him the digits, that wasn't a problem
Cause if he caused any, i would have to solve them
Cause george looked good, mmm damn good!
And if i didn't, some other girl would
In my mind, i hope for the best
Convincing myself that this was not a test
Cause i heard many things about georgie
Nothing kinky, like no orgies
I heard he knows how to make love
Like an angel from the heaven above
Who was i kidding i'd give him a try
Cause lyte needs love too and that ain't no lie
Keep your ears open, hope that you listenin
Cause i'm about to take you on a george porgie mission
"can it be i've stayed away too long" (2x)
I gave him the number, i saw it in his eyes
"she gave me the number? hmmm i'm surprised"
Good conversation, over the phone
He began to come for me whenever i was alone
George was sweet, so nice and so neat
With any other guy he didn't have to compete
George was mature, he made sure
That he was the only one i'd ever adore
Girls, have you, ever had a friend
That you'd get with, every now and then?
I know for a fact george had a lot of girls
Spread out from state from state around the world
As long as he was smart and kept his girls in check
Made sure i never saw them and showed me respect
He didn't have to be loyal, like men should be
I don't care about the other girls, just be good to me!
But if i ever saw one, that would be the end
He couldn't kick the storyline that she was just a friend
The girls i didn't care, fine legs don't lie
See cause georgie was into making your girls cry
"kissed the girls and made them cry" (4x)
"kissed the girls and made them cry"
"can it be i've stayed away too long"
"kissed the girls and made them cry"
"kissed the girls and made them cry"
"can it be i've stayed away too long"
"kissed the girls and..."
George was clean, no drugs and such
But once in a while, he'd drink too much
Hangin in a club where they play rockers
Him and his friend, drinkin vodka
I was lookin for him, and i found him there
With his clothes messed up and his (fucked) up hair
I told him he was messin up he wouldn't go far
He got mad and asked his friend for the keys to the car
I said, "don't drive, use your head
Drive while you're drunk and you'll kill yourself dead"
We begin to argue, bad words were said
Then he got kicked out by some longhaired dread
Ran into the car as if, in a hurry
He started the car but his vision was blurry
He didn't care, he drove off into the night
Riding for miles, without his headlights
Georgie porgie had too much on his mind
He was still young yet running out of time
Last week he took tests as the doctor told him
George had cancer in his lungs and his colon
See when he was young, he started smokin
Paid no attention when he started chokin
Thoughts flashed through his head, there they stuck
Till georgie porgie, crashed into a truck
I wished i woulda told him how i liked him so much
How he made me feel with the slightest touch
Now he's gone and i can't tell him nothin
Wish he was here so i could say somethin
The story is not to say that i'm in sorrow
Just to say no one is promise tomorrow
If you love someone you should say it often
You never know when they'll be layin in a coffin
Wake up, it's important that you know that
No one on earth is promised tomorrow..
Believe that! and don't think that it can't happen to you
"kissed the girls and made them cry" (2x)
"can it be i've stayed away too long" (4x)
"kissed the girls and made them cry" (2x)

10. _ Kamikaze
Outside of me, you try to picture me
Young and black, that ain't no mystery
But inside runs deep like an ocean
You couldn't understand if i spoke in slow motion
I'm tryin like hell to get some results
But you can bet your ass that it's difficult
They try to keep it down, because i talk to a beat
In other words, because i try to teach
But if i talk that yang-yang shit
Like "u can't touch this," that shit'll hit
Don't we have any morals anymore?
Or did rap take the toll out the fuckin door?
Well if it did, hardcore's back to claim it
I'ma take it, change it, fuck it, rename it
I got the plan, now let's make it effective
You hip-hoppers you got to be selective
And stop lettin that bullshit slide for rap
Can't you see that it's a brainwash.. trap?
I rap a cha cha cha, and i sat and watched
You liked that shit, you rock around the fuckin clock
But when i talk of education, you fear that
Drugs and such, you don't wanna hear that
First i pleased you, now i teach you
Don't you dare try to bite the hand that'll lead you
To the pot of gold, over the rainbow
Lyte'll guide you, i know the way to go
So just close your eyes and just take my hand
Remember mc lyte has the master plan
We can go thick, in a posse
You ain't said nuttin slick, i'm goin kamikaze
..
Inside of me, you try to picture me
Can you detect, can you see i'm angry?
Well usually lyte don't get upset
But when i see wack shit gettin pressed i get vexed
Turn on the video -- what's this mess?
A disgrace to rap and i'm not impressed
So just leave, get out my domain
You lame sucker, you fuckin no-name
Takin up my airtime, with that
Weak whack full of full of bullshit rhyme
So step off roach, or get stepped upon
Because my rhymes they spray like d-con 4
Do you want more?
Cause i floor.. any emcee
That wanna gets with me
So yo, pack your bags, and skedaddle
Just walk, cause you don't wanna battle
I got the button that'll get rid of wack emcees
It's called the brooklynizer, have you beggin on your knees
So quit takin up space on the cd rack
You better prepare, cause lyte gives no slack
Inside of me, dwells a hundred maniacs
Waitin for the kickoff, waitin for attack
Who gives a fuck?? bring your posse!
Cause in the 90's, lyte is goin kamikaze
..
Inside -- there's no flipside
Outside there's more than meets the eye
So now you know, not because you're guessin
But because i told you so, i never fess
Everyone wants to rap, what's this a wagon?
Bring your band and hop and start draggin
All you rappers, you're fuckin impersonators
Sayin i'll rap now, and learn how to rap later
No time for that, time is too short
And the rappin gift it can not be bought
A solo artist - hah, you can't be
Maybe you'll look better with a posse
But all that you're talkin, you ain't sayin shit!
So why you where you at? i think you oughta quit
Posses don't matter in the 90's
Here's a warning -- lyte is goin kamikaze!

11. _ Take It Off
Now you called my house and you said come over
Your mother and your father are gone, and you're alone
With rover the dog, but now you're frontin
You said if i come you'd give me somethin
So don't start playin around cause i'm serious
What did you call me for cause i'm curious
Or did you call me just to look in my face
Now i know i didn't come just to take up space
The night is right, and the stars are bright
So c'mon now brother just treat me right
And just take it off, i mean everything
Hurry up pretty boy so that we can swing
I don't smoke and i don't get high
But if i say i don't love well that would be a lie
Because i do every chance i get
But if i don't i won't fall i won't fret
I'm no fool i got plenty of sense
So i just be cool, and have patience
Make up your mind, please let me know
And when you give me the green that's when i'll go
So please pretty boy don't hesitate
And entice me nice and cooperate
You tried the rest and i tried the best
And when the time comes boy no regrets
And just take it off
Now take off your hat, untie your shoelace
And after you finish, i want you to face me
Now baby, don't get scared
Cause i'm not like the other girls so don't compare me
Tender lovin care is all i give
And if possible boy, well i would like to live with you
And if i do it ain't everybody's business
It seems to me ya just how you got into this
Take it off, cause i'm ready to rock
Like maxwell baby, until the last drop
Cruisin down the street in my sl
When i seen this dude who was built very well
Face was handsome, body was fine
How did i know, i was cruisin behind him
Looked at the car, looked at me
Then he asked me my name, i told him lyte the mc but
I didn't want to outplay my hand
So i talked so smooth he could understand me
He was definitely the move
I only said sweet things, that could soothe him
Opened up the door, and he got in
And automatically my mind just turned to sin
I told him take it off - i mean everything
Hurry up pretty boy so that we can swing
I mean take it off, cause i'm ready to rock
Like maxwell baby until the last drop
Met this guy at an amusement park
He was good to go and it was after dark
You can guess girls what was on my mind
Let's go under the boardwalk and have a good time baby
Instead the boy asked me my sign
And i said, "why?" and he said, "never mind."
When the time come and it's you i'm thinkin of
A sign don't make a difference only how you make love to me
You make me feel so good you're a man
Oooh baby i melt like cotton candy
If i could predict the rest of my life
I'd be a millionaire and i'd also be your wife
So let's take a bout through the tunnel of life
Because you know what i'm thinkin of..
.. c'mon baby just take it off
Take it off
Take it off
That's right, now take it off
Take it off
Pal joey, take it off
C'mon now, take it off

12. _ When In Love
[only vocal parts feat. mc lyte are shown]
When in love (3x)
When in love you might cuss and fuss and fight
But at the end of the night, everything is alright
Drips of tears turn into drops of sweat
It'll only get as wet as i let it baby
I love hard, i've done some effed up things
From kicking them in the nerfs, to throwin away his ring
So if you love me, love me and stay with me
But you can walk if your plan is to play me
I'm not embarassed, nor am i ashamed
To say once in the past, i've been gamed
But that was then, and this is now
And there's no way damn it, there's no how
Although you gotta go through the good and the bad
Pray to the one up above it's not a fad
You'll do some crazy things when in love
Those in love know what i'm speakin of
When in love
When in love you do things that are strange
Look back and say, "i must have been deranged!"
I'm talkin like pickin your lover's nose
Cooking his food and washing his clothes
And if you thought that was goin too far
What about givin him the keys to your car?
You could be partyin and havin a ball
But you stop and check your messages to see if he called
How about sittin in the house all night
Waitin for the phone to ring -- that ain't right!
But you do it anyway cause you love him to death
And if he was dyin, you'd give your last breath
You gotta go through the good and the bad
Pray to the one up above it's not a fad
You'll do some crazy things when in love
Those in love know what i'm speakin of
When in love (2x)
When in love you go out your way to please him
Wait outside his job, hope that you see him
And guys buy girls some serious things
Like two-seater cars and diamond rings
I know what happens, she got you strung
Guess it doesn't matter long as you're having fun
Love'll make you do some crazy things
Meet a married man and then have a fling
Like babyface said, "love makes things happen"
It's most important, to hear what i'm rappin
Someone in love better take your time
Cause love sometimes make one commit crimes
Although you gotta go through the good and the bad
Pray to the one up above it's not a fad
You'll do some crazy things when in love
Those in love know what i'm speakin of
When in love (6x)

13. _ Big Bad Sister
Ahhh yeah
Brooklyn's in the house, so come on now
Brooklyn's in the house
Yo, staten island is in the house
Staten island is in the house
And let me hear you say queens is in the house
Come on now, queens is in the house
Long island is in the house, say what?
Long island is in the house, yeah
The bronx, is in the house, uhh
The bronx is in the house let me hear you say
Uptown's in the house one time
Uptown's in the house
Well they're falling falling but i can catch them
I just toot the whistle and you go fetch them
Bring them back into the real rap attack
Set the soft silly stuff back on the rack
45 (yeah baby) 45 (yeahhh)
Tell the silly mothers that we don't give a..
I'm not a psychic, but you can tell your sidekick
In ninety-one, lyte is kickin some fly..
Take it from me, or could you really take it?
And if you got away with it, would you really make it
In the world of hip-hop, frontin like you're me?
C'mon now hobbes, that i could never see
So just step aside, and feel it tonight
Cause comin to a store near you is mc lyte
{45 king scratches "who's that bad?"}
I'm bigger than bolo, see i go solo
Broader than broad, see how i soared
The big bad sister from around your way
I'm not tall but i'm small don't matter what i weigh
I kick the copacetic rhyme from the down to earth mind
I get hip with the hop i'm the tip from the top
I go all out, you never see me fall out
Although you hear me yell out, you never see me sellout {"no!!"}
Because my rhyme's about a profit, no one can stop the one
Funky lyrics synced with mc lyte cause i be droppin it
The name the lyte because my skin i'm blacker than black
Comin right and exact, for the rap attack
Some say they don't like the words i choose to use
I don't give a damn, lyte will never lose
I ain't no sucka and i ain't into pleasin
Some critic that criticizes me for no reason
What's with the opinion it's a stated fact
I rule the pack, from the top of the stack
So fuck the stocks and bonds i'm your new investment
Pick up the album it's quite a refreshment
Compared to the day to day bullshit you hear
Pay attention and listen i'm comin clear to the ear
For all you non-believers, and you perpetrators
That talk to me now but talk about me later
It's time for you to grieve, grovel in your sorrow
I'm the star of today and the star of tomorrow
I'm takin out the old jacks, rippin up the new ones
I don't care if it means i have to ruin
I will and i shall and i get the job completed
Those that don't belong they will be deleted
From the rap roster, i'm not an impostor
I'm comin to you live with the 45
Straight from the studio with a view..
.. in new york city
{45 king scratches "i love it!"}
.. i'm out *echoes*
{45 king scratches "i love it!" <--> "dj" back and forth}

14. _ Another Dope Intro
Yo who is it?
Yo lyte it's epic, you got time to chill?
Nah umm, sorry i ain't got no time to chill
But i got umm..
Skins, skins, every now and then
I meet a peter with a pecker that tries to be in
Because my tongue is the mind of a readywriter
Like chuck d said, i'm a rhyme fighter
No there is no other, because i'm smooth like butter
Or should i say parkay, butter - parkay
Butter - parkay, fuck it anyway
Yo, you get the rhythm (what the rhythm?) that i'm promotin
And if not, i say it in slow motion
L.... y.... yeah.... t.... e....
Uhh! ("there it is")

15. _ Like That Anna (interlude)
Ain't no other, this is me and this is it
Don't got to get the crowbar to get you up off of my shit
I don't know why though, they try to compare me
Did not you know that you can't get near me
So don't fuck up when identifying the voice
You know from a to z, i'm a first choice
The y to the t, surrounded by the l and the e
Put it together and you got lyte the mc
Deep, deep, deeper than the vein
Of the membrane, squish it, put your ass to sleep
I got octaves, not to sing but to rap so
Give me dap, perhaps admit, that i'm all that
The shit that i write huh, surely chart climbers
Don't try to run, because your mom'll come and find ya
Getcha, gotcha, getcha gotcha getcha gotcha
Break ya break ya punk and fuck that ass in two's
It's like that anna, it's like that anna
I'm not the funny fat one they call roseanne-ah

16. _ Absolutely Positively.....practical Jokes
I play practical jokes, just to get a laugh (ha hah)
I put roaches in my neighbor's bubblebath
But anyway one day she called upon me
She said, "lyte - it's an emergency!"
My next door neighbor had an errand to run
I said, "why ms. davis - ask your son"
She said, "ricky's at his grandmother's"
I said, "well what about tommy, the younger brother?"
She said, "see, umm, he's at the pharmacy"
I said, "he'll be back soon how much longer could it be?"
She said, "c'mon please, it's just a trip uptown
If you leave right now you'll be back before sundown
Hurry up, there's not a moment to spare
It absolutely positively has to get there"
Umm, i contemplated then i played a good samaritan
I started the car, then she threw the package in
It absolutely positively has to get there
(get there?)
It absolutely positively has to get there
(well then send it federal express!)
It absolutely positively has to get there
(it gotta get there?)
It absolutely positively got to get there!
(yo who you rushin?)
Pumpin out the music on the fdr
Not far behind me was a dt car
So i eased up selector, 55 the digit
But on the fdr, 40 is the limit
Here they come, sirens on
I could see myself in jail til the break of dawn
But they rolled right by it wasn't me they was after
A little red corvette, they was tryin to capture
Dread i feel sweat so i set down my jacket
Look up ahead, now that's what i call traffic
Dipped to an exit and i made my way through
Couldn't believe when i hit first avenue
On a honda's ass, just about to crash
Looked at the gauge and the shit said no gas
Zero, nada, nothing in here see
In car terms the shit was on empty
Got out, and pushed the shit to the side
Hailed a cab, then i caught a quick ride
To the house of inflation, yes the gas station
Gave a little tip to show my appreciation
Got back to the ave where i left my car
It wasn't there, but it couldn't have gone far
Hot damn, i must have got towed
Tried to figure out how much money i owed
Went to the pound and i paid my debt
Think that was the worst? you ain't heard nuttin yet
Bumped into that crackhead sam i used to see
And like always, hand out, give me money
In my tank was a dollar's worth of gas
I had to get an ? machine fast
It absolutely positively has to get there
(get there?)
It absolutely positively got to get there
(what?)
It absolutely positively got to get there
(well send it some way else)
It absolutely positively has to get there
As i left the bank to walk back to the bm
Couldn't believe what my eyes were seein
Looked at the back tire, it was flate
While the other three, were so damn fat
A brother walked by and offered his help
Ordinarily i woulda did the shit myself
But he, changed it quick, so i passed him a ten
Here i go on this journey again
Went to the gas station, to fill it up
When a crackhead from nowhere grabbed the pump
I said, "look, i don't need your help today"
And i scared the motherfucker and he was on his way
Oops, a cat, shit, scrat!
Fur on my tires, and all that
What's this, a stroke of bad luck?
But at this point, i don't even give a fuck
I got to get the package to the destination
No matter what the confrontation
I arrive, bag in my hand
Lookin for a woman named pam
She opened the bag it was wrapped tight and snug
But in that bag yo, in that bag
45, guess what? (what was it lyte?)
It was a box of q-tips .. a box of fuckin q-tips man!!!
{*laughter*}

17. _ Eyes Are The Soul
He knows he's leaving, not much time left
Holding on to his very last breath
I saw him last week, nervous and uptight
Losing sleep, stays up all night
Wishin he woulda used his mind and not rushed
To push in the bush but took his time
To get to know the girl he slapped skins with
Shared needles with
Wish he could go back, change the direction
But now he's got the infection
I spoke to him, gave him inspired words
I'm sure he's heard
Live by the sword, die by the sword
What's left, pray to the oh lord
You can deny but the truth will unfold
Because the eyes are the soul
Eyes are the soul..
Eyes are the soul..
I look into his eyes, but he's so high
From the crack, he thinks that he can fly
He has problems he doesn't like solving
Takes one hit, and thinks the world stops revolving
19, his eyes full of tears
He hasn't smiled at least for a year
His mom is gone cause he was high one night
While they killed her, because of the crack pipe
He's wanted by the law
Because he's robbed at least three grocery stores
He's lost, all control
Take a look, eyes are the soul
Eyes are the soul..
Eyes are the soul..
Eyes are the soul..
I look into her eyes, she's so young
But i know, where she's comin from
I've watched her grow, little girl down the street
White shirts and skirts with pleats
She cried, fear in her voice
Not knowing, she had a choice
Oh so sad, oh so lonely
If she knew that she's not the only
One in school that didn't use the caution
Facin, raisin a baby or abortion
Her mother said she had to leave
Who wants to be where a baby is not received
No ultimatum, she's goin to the g.y.n.
To put it to an end
She's learned a lesson i suppose
I can tell, eyes are the soul
Eyes are the soul..
Eyes are the soul..
Eyes are the soul..

18. _ Search 4 The Lyte
Within the depths, of this infinite community
Emerges lyte
[mc lyte]
One by one they fall in the darkness
I'm glad, that i could take part in this
And i'm hoping, that you just might
Get together and search 4 the lyte
Finding the lyte means happiness
It's the best and nothing less
So i'm waiting, at the end of a tunnel
Where happiness comes in bundles
But it takes time, to get to the lyte
To get in the lyte, to be with the lyte
And i'm hoping, that you just might
Get together and search 4 the lyte
How you get there is this question
Honesty is my suggestion
But first you must be awakened
If you say you are, you're faking
One who has seen the lyte doesn't have to proof
That they've been moved
They just let it be, let it rest
For that is the mental test
Within this, there's so much happiness
Sort of like lasting moments of bliss
Everyone wants to be so happy
Let me explain my theory:
Some type of grief you must experience
In order to appreciate happiness
Cause if you are always satisfied
Life will just pass by, you would've never tried
To get to the lyte, to get in the lyte
To be with the lyte, to go see the lyte
And i'm hoping, that you just might
Get together and search 4 the lyte
If you are not ready the lyte can be blind-ing
And not worth finding
So for this you must prepare:
Stay awake, wake up, stay aware!
There are so, many distractions
Those that see the lyte, just a fraction
Those that don't, remain blinded
The lyte is there, they can't find it
One by one they fall in the darkness
And it's sad, to take part in this
But i'm hoping, that you just might
Get together and search 4 the lyte
Now finding the lyte is what's so difficult
And you can bet, that the results are
Splenderous, wonderful, yeah
What wouldn't you do?
Cause once you've seen the lyte, been with the lyte
Got to the lyte, got in the lyte
I know that you just might
Never ever wanna leave the lyte
