[ VERSE 1 ]
|
I met a guy named Tommy, damn, he charmed me
|
Met him at the mall, but I knew he wouldn't harm me
|
We exchanged numbers, hopin to meet again
|
We couldn't wait for the romance to begin
|
The relationship grew strong
|
I didn't wanna be right if this love was wrong
|
But oh no, came the problems, the first segment
|
The dumb kid went and got some girl pregnant
|
The second segment: started wheelin and dealin
|
Didn't give a damn about how Lyte was feelin
|
But then he got wise, started treatin me better
|
Cause all of his friends said I was a go-getter
|
He knew he was usin me, and abusin me
|
He also knew that soon he'd be losin me
|
First I clocked him, yeah, I docked him
|
But I rocked him - and then I dropped him
|
|
[ VERSE 2 ]
|
Then there was Dave, couldn't behave
|
So I punished him and put him in my Lyte-as-a-rock cave
|
Then he got bold, tried to play insane
|
So Bigfoot threw him off my paperthin train
|
He tried to 10%-dis me, but he pissed me off
|
Cause I'm the boss, and you know I'm not havin it
|
Lyte is too dope, and you know I ain't crabbin it
|
Then there was Henry, way too friendly
|
I needed a trip, he said he would send me
|
Pay my airfare, if he could come with me
|
I said, "Listen, honey, I don't need your money
|
Believe me when I tell you, I've got my own
|
Cause I'm MC Lyte on the microphone"
|
Yeah
|
|
[ VERSE 3 ]
|
Here's another story: a dude named Corey
|
When I used to work, yes, I was a clerk
|
At the Worldtrade Center, back in high school
|
This little player musta thought I was a fool
|
He took me out to lunch, offered me a ride home
|
When we got there, he asked could he use my telephone
|
I said, "Yeah, sure", flipped him to the floor
|
Cause he said "What's up?" and tried to feel my butt
|
I kicked him down the stairs and said, "What you're provin?"
|
Rolled him to his car and said, "Get movin!"
|
He tried to score it, I wasn't goin for it
|
You can't play me, I'm Lyte Thee MC
|
Never saw his face again until last week
|
All beat up and bleedin down the street
|
I looked to my left, there was a girl with a pipe in her hand
|
Sayin, "Why oh why can't you understand?"
|
