[Jay-Z] So let's lock this down like it's supposed to be [Mc Lyte] It's like the wonder years you blink and I appear From a cloud of smoke I'm like a full court press and you choke When I'm near pull up a chair let me explain how I maintain the youthful glow For you that don't know it's called H2O So stop asking when I walk by How I look so young and stay that fly It's elementary, kick the liquor when you turn dirty thirty The rest is a secret so I keep it for the worthy Some of us need to be doing the bid Spitting lyrics that's worst than ridlan for kids They say "Lyte they ain't ready for nut and new kids" So we kick the same stuff as if we were stupid Take the same beat and loop 50 times, Why not? that other group did It's idiotic, average and robotic I keep it real my mental thick like a harley click I got them singing Bob Marley hits. (I don't want to wait.) They don't want to wait in vain But I'm worth all the joy and the pain Come hard when I hit, goddamn you know the name Lyte [Hook] Lock this down like its supposed to be The pioneers wonder years L-Y-T-E Oh yeah she's back the industry need that So pay attention to her I told y'all to listen to her Yeah Lyte she's back, the female G-Rap been in the limelight Baby girl get your mind right (Yeah I'mma do it like this) [Mc Lyte] Pa** on the insight, teach a seed about Lyte
And how I was the first female to smash the mic Yeah n***a, I speak the facts of life While a whole lot of others was crap on the mic Still showin Mc's what cash look like From the jedda to the porsche to the navi I'm tight What I got it's hot you can have it to Praise god, work hard all you have to do I was born to be the Lyte to give the spark in the dark Spread the truth to the youth, the ghetto joan of ark It's sad these kids put you at the head of thier throne All you give them back is raps about your bone Gettin head in your whip, a studio in your home But who cares cause you dummies all sound like clones It's a mystery to me how you got this far Can't read, can't even count the miles on your car [Hook] [Mc Lyte] Yeah, You take this easy, slow it up on them I feel the animosity Loosen up the grip when I shoot from the lip, I hear it constantly "Yo Lyte kick that same sh** you did in '86" I can't do that, I'm too evolved too big to stay small In a world full of problems, especially the U.S just can't solve them My data too robust they can't feel where I'm headed How I keep the mind, spirit and the body all connected Respected by many and any that want to test Bring them Timbos and leave home that pretty mini dress I'm a viking I'm fighting until the d**h of me As god blows breathe in me, I leave the legacy Lyte as a Rock!
