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?
