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 nuts, 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 Lo-o-o-ve (x2) 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 Lo-o-o-ve (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 Lo-o-o-ve (6X) |

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 |

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 S |

[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! |

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) |

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 vi |

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?

Fifteen years old, thought I was in love I was never told, sex is like drugs Too much'll drive you crazy in fact the brother was so good, had me comin back Took my virginity, like he took my heart I had to find the Lyte, he left me in the dark All alone, no one to be with And the brothers they ask me why I riff I got hard, grew a shell upon my back I had to get a grip, to keep my life intact I had to let em know, Lyte is not fragile Cause if they think this, brothers can get - foul They'll use, bruise and abuse Dump your ass and be sure to choose the next fresh fish that steps into the place If they desire, they forgot your face Lovin them and leavin them, that was their reasonin Thinkin he was pleasin you, when he was just TEASIN you Summer was over, back in school He said come over, that would be cool I said OK, it's been a year now Some even asked why, some even asked how could you wait that long, for me to be with it Some said yo Hobbes, you're never gonna get it But then the time came, you and I both came Things would soon change, never would they be the same Before this afternoon, took place I was in love, I walked around in space I'd rush home from school just to speak to you Talk for an hour, maybe even two We'd just laugh though, nothing serious I guess back then, you were just curious to see what I was like, just to touch my flesh I could be wrong though, that's my first guess .. You was in your house, I was in mine As long as we were chattin on the line, it was fine All alone, yet talkin on the phone If you got bored you felt your bone and as bad as I am, I talked you through every stroke Lyte ain't no joke!

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..
