2. _ Mc Lyte Likes Swingin'
I may come on strong but that's what you like
You like a female mc who can handle the mike
How do i know? because you told me so
You instantly prefer a pro to supervise the show
So that's why i'm here, don't mean to make a case of it
This rap here, well, it's just for the taste of it
I write the rap to make the whole world sing
And i'm the type of female, well, i like to swing
Mc lyte likes swingin
Party people in the place, since you started the case
Of a demonstration, i need concentration
So you can make a full examination
Then you will agree that i'm the best mc
And so is my deejay on the tables, rock
This is the best jam that you could get
The rap by lyte and the beat by stetsa
(beat by stetsa) (beat by stetsa)
Never turn it down, cause it's what you requested
Any mike i hold, you know the big man pressed it
Sole believer in the rap i say
You believe it too, that's why you never walk away
You like the way i do it, you like my style
Study me like a book, cause you know i'm worth your while
Expressions on my face show you just how i feel
Add a rap to my gestures, now you know the deal
Mc lyte likes swingin
Cause yo, i am the best and that i'll boast
Sit down and be the guest, and i'll be the host
It's wack to those that know and those that do not
Like 'coke is it' i hit the spot
Like 'good vibrations', i'm like sunkist
The rap is smooth, cause it's sealed with chapstick
Not gonna say that i been rappin since the day of birth
But i've acquired the knowledge like ms. butterworth
Ask me what's important, i tell you time and effort
Ask me how i do it, it's lyte's ??? method
Yeah, lyte is good, bud lite's good for ya
I'm exciting just like toyota

3. _ Don't Cry Big Girls
[ verse 1 ]
This is lyte, and i'm just here to say
That i choose to express my feelings this way
Always alone, either with a microphone
Or just plainly emphasize the tone
Of my voice, cause yo, i know i'm your choice
So when i am speaking, show your gratitude
While i am teaching, i have no attitude
I'm just here to get the job totally done
85% work, 15% fun
Sometimes i admit, i get so excited
Rhyme for rhyme, i just can't fight it
Can't stop the flow, it's just too persistant
(big girls don't cry) (2x)
[ verse 2 ]
Can't stop the flow, it's just too persistant
The level is extremely low on my resistance
By you or any other i'll never be beaten at a
Rap meeting, in other words a battle
Cause y'all, i'm like a farmer, and y'all's the cattle
Be a big girl about it, don't you start cryin
That'll mean i made you weep without even tryin
Lyte takes it like a big girl, i'm no jive girl
Comin direct, tellin you that i'm a live girl
'i'm positive', you've heard this expression before
So next time you see lyte shine through the door
Don't talk behind my back, confront me like a big girl
(big girls don't cry) (2x)
[ verse 3 ]
Don't talk behind my back, confront me like a big girl
So i can take you to all slimmies of the world
Big girls, we don't fight over men
Although there's one worth fighting for every now and then
But then i think again, it's not worth my while
And it's also not a big girl style
And i know you're thinkin: 'wait, lyte is slim and short?'
While being brought up i was also taught
Take it like it comes and proceed with the flow
Lyte is the biggest of the big girls, and now you know
(big girls don't cry) (2x)
This is dedicated to milk dee from the audio 2
To gizmo from the audio 2
The whole alliance crew
You know what i'm sayin?
And to all the big girls
Also the small girls
You got time to grow up to be big girls
(big girls don't cry)

5. _ I Am Woman
Verse 1
I am woman, hear me roar
When i grab the mic it's never a bore
When i'm on stage, sayin' a rhyme
I often wonder what ya think of mine
Is it fresh or weak, or is it live or dead?
Yo, it's got ta be somethin' if you're boppin' your head
To the beat, can i get an amen brother?
Liked that rhyme? well here goes another...
[hold up, hold up, hold up. check it out. before we go any further we
Gotta announce who we are. i am dj k-rock and this is my homegirl, mc
Lyte. kick it for 'em!]
Verse 2
We had to pause for station identification
Now ya know my name here's some more information
Well, let's see, what you wanna know about me?
Mc l-y-t-e
[the queen] nah, that's too corny
[the sexy] nah, that gets the guys too horny
[the best] now that sounds conceited
But what is true is true, so it has to be repeated
The best is lyte, when i'm on the mic
And mc's look straight ahead cos this pitch'll make your neck tired
And i say loosen up and relax
The fiction you been livin' imma fill with facts
Right now...
[mc lyte, dj k-rock. name of the group is me and my dj. kickin' it
Live in '88. do it.]
Verse 3
I am woman, hear me roar
Comin' out fresher and flyer than i did before
That's right, i'm well respected
Don't get stupid, i'm well protected
If ya wanna battle i'm well prepared
Me and k-rock are far from scared, you know what
We're brave, livin' in a cave of gold
Waitin' for the misbehaved to get bold
But as i look around so far so good
Mc's behaving just like they should
Hands are folded, no whispering or passing notes
All attention to me ya have to devote
I'm like a teacher, but then again not quite
Cos a teacher's salary i'm makin' a night
On the mic rhymes witty and bright
Maybe that's why the name is lyte
Yo, bust it, imma end it right here
Dj k-rock, you end it over there

6. _ Kickin' 4 Brooklyn
Kick this one for brooklyn
(cha) (cha) (cha)
Kick this one for the 90s
(boom) (cha-cha)
Now kick this one here for me & my dj
(boom) (cha) (boom) (cha) (boom)
[ verse 1 ]
Now i was rockin this party in the 90s, brooklyn
You know where the people get hype
'll rock a party from friday to saturday night
48 hours done, and i still hold the mic
I try to put you down and say that i'm through
But they give it back to me and say, "continue"
That's the thing about brooklyn, they never get enough
Of the rap and the music and all the good stuff
That makes your life worth livin for
Respect is the crowd, the crowd that i draw
Never am i dissed, and never ever shall i be
Ain't a mc alive that can deal with me
And if you think you're the one that can deal with this
Well, you ah - best prepare for a big fat dis
Kick this one for brooklyn
(cha) (cha) (cha)
Kick this one for the 90s
(boom) (cha) (cha)
Now kick this one here for me & my dj
(boom) (cha) (boom) (cha) (boom)
[ verse 2 ]
Now i was chillin in flatbush, mindin my own
When a girl walked up with a chrome microphone
She said, "hey, mc lyte, i heard about you
So here's the microphone, let's see what you can do"
So i took the microphone and i threw it to the ground
Cause i need no assist when it comes to gettin down
When i start to rap, she start to shake
She knew to confront me was truly a mistake
So she picked the microphone off the grey concrete
And before i turned around, she was down the street
Now kick this one for brooklyn
(cha) (cha) (cha)
Kick this one for the 90s
(boom) (cha-cha)
Now kick this one here for me & my dj
(boom) (cha) (boom) (cha) (boom)
[ verse 3 ]
Now when i'm on the stage, everyone starts starin
Is it what i'm sayin, or is it what i'm wearin?
50/50 chance it's what i'm sayin
And at the same time what my deejay is playin
If you can get hype and sort of like loud
Yo, k-rock, kick this one for the crowd
I been to lots of parties, mostly uptown
And one thing i noticed: young people get down
So hip-hoppers, hip-hoppers, from all around
Get with the funky sound
Kick this one for brooklyn
(cha) (cha) (cha)
Now kick this one for the 90s
(boom) (cha-cha)
Now kick this one here for me & my dj
(boom) (cha-cha-cha)
(boom) (cha-cha-cha)
(boom) (cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-chack)

7. _ 10% Dis
(11 seconds of audio collage at the intro)
*mc lyte's voice gradually fades in*
Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, hot damn
Hot damn! hot damn hoe, here we go again
Suckers steal a beat, when you know they can't win
You stole the beat, are you havin fun?
Now me and the aud's gonna show you how it's done
You are what i label as a, nerver plucker
You're pluckin my nerves, you mc sucka
I thought i oughta tell you, better yet warn
That i am like a stop, and my word is bond
Like james, killin everybody in sight
The code's three-six, the name is lyte
After this jam, i really don't give a damn
Cause i'ma run and tell your whole damn clan
That you're a
"beat biter! dope style taker!
Tell you to your face you ain't nuttin but a faker!"
(repeat 2x)
Hit me why don'tcha, hit me why don'tcha?
Milk's bodyguard, is my bodyguard too
You wanna get hurt, well this is what you do
You put your left foot up, and then your right foot next
Follow instructions, don't lose the context
Thirty days a month your mood is rude
We know the cause of your bloody attitude
"beat biter! dope style taker!
Tell you to your face you ain't nuttin but a faker!"
(repeat 2x)
Your style is smooth, even for a cheatin mic
You shoulda won applause as a rakim sound-alike
Here's a milkbone, a sign of recognition
Don't turn away, i think you should listen close
Don't boast, you said you wasn't braggin
You fuckin liar, you're chasin a chuckwagon
The only way you learn you have to be taught
That if a beat is not for sale, then it can't be bought
When you leave the mic, you claim it's smokin
Unlike rakim, you are a joke
And i think you oughta stop, before you gets in too deep
Cause with a sister like lyte, yo i don't sleep
"beat biter! dope style taker!
Tell you to your face you ain't nuttin but a faker!"
(repeat 2x)
When i'm in a jam, with my homegirl jill
My cousin trey across the room with a posse to kill
So i step in the middle, shake it just a little
Wait for some female to step up and pop junk
Give my cousin a cue, treat the girl like a punk
Now i'm not tryin to say that i'm into static
But yo if you cause it, yup, we gotta have it
Cause i ain't goin out like a sucker no way
So i sit around the way for you to make my day
We can go for the hands, better yet for the words
Cause you'll be ignored, and at the same time, i'll be heard
Throughout the city, the town and the country
The beat is funky, my rhyme is spunky
There is no delayin in the rhyme i'm sayin
Neither are the flaws of what my dj is playin
So sit back jack, and listen to this
It's 10% dis..
Cause i'm just about ready to fly this fist
Against your lips!
But i'll wait for the day or night that you approach
And i'ma serve then burn ya like a piece of, toast!
Pop you in the microwave to watch your head bubble
Your skin just crumble, a battle's no trouble
Get my homegirls dohni and kiki to get stupid
This thing called hip-hop, lyte is rulin it
I hate to laugh in your face, but you're funny
Your beat, your rhymin, your timin, all crummy
On the topic of rappin, i should write a pamphlet
Better yet a booklet..
Your rap is weak homegirl
And it's definitely crooked!
Others write your rhymes, while i write my own
I don't create a character, when i'm on the microphone
I am myself, no games to be played
No script to be written, no scene to be made
I am the director, as far as you are concerned
You don't believe me, then you'll have to learn
This ain't as hard as mc lyte can get
And matter of fact, you ain't seen nothin yet!
So never let me step into a party hardy
Talk to some people and then hear from somebody
'you wanna battle?' cause you know where i am
You don't wanna come in the 90's and see me at a jam
When a, mic is handy, ten feet away
I stretch my arm like elastic, head like a magnetic
Set assure, you know i don't play
When it comes down to it, the nitty gritty
For a sucker like you i feel a whole lot of pity
"beat biter! dope style taker!
Tell you to your face you ain't nuttin but a faker!"
(repeat 2x)

8. _ I Cram To Understand U
[ verse 1 ]
I used to be in love with this guy named sam
I don't know why, cause he had the head like that of a clam
But you couldn't tell me nothin, cause sam was number one
Cause to me, oh my gosh, he was one in a million
I shoulda knew the consequences right from the start
That he'd use me for my money, and then break my heart
But like a fool in love i fell for his game
But i got mine, so i show no shame
In empire winked his eye, and then he kept walkin
And all of those who live in brooklyn know just what i'm talkin
The roller disco where we all used to go
Just to have some fun back in 1981
You know the place, empire boulevard
Is where i first saw the nigga, and he tried to play hard
But i knew the deal, cause i knew his brother jerry
And sam, he just broke up with his girlfriend terry
So jerry introduced sam and i that night
He said, "hello, my name is sam" i said, "hi, my name is lyte"
We dipped and we dapped and we chit and we chat
About this and that, from sneakers to hats
He said, "look, i'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me"
(let's go) to my house, lay back and get nice
Watch television, reunite on ice
I said, "slow down, i know you wanna shake me down
But i'm not one of the girls to go rippin around"
(just like a test
Ju-just like a test
Ju-just like a test
I cram to understand you)
[ verse 2 ]
Next month i finally went to his house
I walked into the door, there was a girl on the couch
I said, "who's the frog, the bump on the log?
You chump, you punk, how could you do me wrong?
Singing sad songs about your love is so strong"
You said, "wait lyte, you're confused, the girl is my cousin"
Your brother agreed, but later she said that she wasn't
(just like a test
Ju-just like a test
Ju-just like a test
I cram to understand u)
[ verse 3 ]
Forgotten, next month we went to the deuce
Well, i thought it kinda strange cause you had lots of juice
You knew the dopes, the pushers, the addicts, everybody
Asked ya how you met em, said you met em at a party
Then these girls tried to tell me you were sellin the stuff
I said, "it's not your business, so shut the fuck up"
They said, "okay lyte, think what you wanna think
But it's gon' be some shit when your man becomes a -"
I said, "look, to bust a move, i don't even know you
To put it lyte, i really don't care to"
They kinda got mad and sort of offended
They said, "we only lookin out for yo best interest"
I said, "thanks but no thanks" in an aggravated tone
"when i wanna find out, i find out on my own"
(just like a test
Ju-just like a test
Ju-just like a test
I cram to understand u)
[ verse 4 ]
Then my cousin said she saw you with this lady named c
Well i'm clawin my thoughts, i wonder who she could be
You're spending all your time with her and not a second with me
They say you spend your money on her and you're with her night and day
Her name starts with a c and it ends with a k
I strain my brain lookin for a name to fit this spellin
But i just couldn't do it cause my heart kept yellin
Burning, begging for affection from you, sam
But just like a test i cram to understand you
Thought i knew you well enough to call you a man
But (just like a test
Ju-just like a test
Ju-just like a test
I cram to understand you)
[ verse 5 ]
Then it came a time you started looking kinda thin
I asked you why, you said, "exercise, tryina stay slim"
I bought it, even though i knew it was a lie
Cause it really didn't matter, you were still lookin fly
But oh no, oh no, you started askin me for money
Butter me up, beg me and call me your honey
So i gave you 2 yards, and then i gave you one more
You picked up your jacket and you flew out the door
You came back an hour later and you asked me for a 10
I said, "i only got a 20", you said, "give me that, then"
I said, "nope, i'll tell you now, you better stop slobbin
Find you a job, or you better start robbin"
So i stepped off with a giant step
Picked up my belongings, and i just left
And now i see you in empire every sunday
Juicin the girls up for some money and a lay
But every time i see you doin it, i just ruin it
Tell em how ya on crack, smoke, sniff, and chewin it
And as for this girl, miss c, oh well
I was shocked as hell when i heard, samuel
When your homeboys told me, i almost went wack
That the girl you was addicted to, her name was crack

9. _ Lyte As A Rock
I am the lyte "a-a-a-a-a-a-as-as-a-rock" l-y, l-l-y-t-e
(repeat 3x)
[milk]
Do you understand the metaphoric phrase 'lyte as a rock?'
It's explaining, how heavy the young lady is
You know what i'm saying king?
[king of chill]
Yes my brother, but i would consider 'lyte as a rock'
A simile because of the usage of the word 'as'
And now.. directly from the planet of brooklyn
Mc lyte -- as a rock!
[mc lyte]
Must i say it again, i said it before
Move out the way when i'm comin through the door
Me, heavy? as lyte as a rock
Guys watch, even some of girls clock
Step back, it ain't that type of party
No reply if you ain't somebody
Get out my face, don't wanna hear no more
If you hate rejection, don't try to score
First base? you ain't got what it takes
You smile, you wink, you big fake flake
You're so pathetic you make my stomach turn
You beg, you borrow, now you have to learn
I am the lyte "a-a-a-a-a-a-as-as-a-rock" l-y, l-l-y-t-e
(repeat 2x)
[mc lyte]
Lyte as a rock, or i should say a boulder
Rolling down your neck, pounding on your shoulders
Never shall i be an emcee, called a wannabe
I am the lyte, l-y-t-e
This is the way it is, don't ever forget
Hear the rhyme by someone else and you know they bit
All in the way, just little obstacles
Chew em up, spit em out, just like popsicles
Suckers out of my way, we're not on the same wavelength
I show stability, potential and strength
On the other hand, you are weak and unruly
Could never be a spy, cause you're just a plain stoolie
I am the lyte "a-a-a-a-a-a-as-as-a-rock" l-y, l-l-y-t-e
(repeat 2x)
[mc lyte]
I'm a slave, i'm a slave, i'm a slave to the rhythm
Def rhymes on the micraphone is what i'm givin
Yes i am a rock and you are just a pebble
Milk turn up the base, and rock adjust the levels
If a rap can paint a thousand words then i can paint a million
Wait, lyte is capable of paintin a bazillion raps
So when i say it, this is what i mean
Audio two an alliance on the scene
And i'd like to say whassup to my producer king of chill
Party people are you ready, jam if you will
Never underestimate lyte the emcee; i am a rapper who is here
To make the things the way they're meant to be
The world ultimate, i'm here to take the title
But i had a little trouble upon, my arrival
But i got rid of those who, tried to rock me
Lyte is here, no one can stop me
I am the lyte "a-a-a-a-a-a-as-as-a-rock" l-y, l-l-y-t-e
(repeat 2x)
[mc lyte]
There are hip-hop leaders, this you know
We also have, hip-hoppers that follow
By the tone of my voice, you can tell i am a scholar
I'm also the leader of the hip-hop followers
Now get this, i'm at a jam and i'm rockin it
Suckers like a checkerboard, when black is clockin it
The grace as i ease across the stage
Bars around the audience, sort of like a cage
They laugh, cause they assume i'm in prison
But in reality, they're locked in
Once again i'll state that i can't be stopped
Cause yo, i am as lyte, as, rock!
I am the lyte "a-a-a-a-a-a-as-as-a-rock" l-y, l-l-y-t-e
(repeat 6x)
I am the lyte "a-a-a-a-a-a-as-as-a-rock" l-y, l-l-y-t-e
(repeat 4x)
I am the lyte "a-a-a-a-a-a-as-as-a-rock" l-y, l-l-y-t-e
(repeat 4x to fade)
