MC Lyte - Lyte As A Roc lyrics

rate me

I am the Lyte "a-a-a-a-a-a-as-as-a-rock" L-Y, L-L-Y-T-E

[x3]

[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

[x2]

[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

[x2]

[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

[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

[x6]

I am the Lyte "a-a-a-a-a-a-as-as-a-rock" L-Y, L-L-Y-T-E

[x4]

I am the Lyte "a-a-a-a-a-a-as-as-a-rock" L-Y, L-L-Y-T-E

[x4 to fade]
