I can rock a party with a glass of Hennessy
I know I make y'all sick with the way I boogie
My fake ass friends wanna hang out tonight
I tell 'em follow me then I ditch 'em at the light
I see 'em at the club, they wanna know why I'm wildin'
Cause I smoke weed, now I'm high like a pilot
Spendin' more cheese than you throw on a salad
Hand me my mic, if you bout it then I'm bout it
Mmm, yeah I'm bout it, don't doubt it, don't doubt it
I'm the MC Lyte, but boo, please don't crowd me
Cause my security might get rowdy
Make 'em punch you out and watch your vision go cloudy
Now all you freaks wanna speak cause I'm back
Stick to your gossip like the glue to your tracks
I never liked your ass by the way cause you're wack
Give a dog a bone so here's a Lyte snack
Want what I got? Come through then
You at home with a safe you ain't got nuttin' in
Ask how I got it and keep it comin' in
From hustlin', doublin', and publishin'

Used to be a rookie, singin' la-di-da-di
Now me and Missy be cold rockin' the party
Flooded Movado, ain't I fly though?
Never let 'em see you comin', that's my motto
I'm on it, I'm on it, I had a nigga goin'
Said I was a hot tamale, mind blowin'
It's crucial, how some folk get bougie
Or boozhy, did I lose you, or did you lose me?
Either way, we miles apart
I'm hittin' the ribbon, you at the start
I'm never ever ever gonna let you think
That your shit don't stink
So don't come around here thinkin' you can't get it
You'll be the first to admit it
How you got punked by hip-hop's greatest
Missy and Lyte, bringin' you the latest
Want what I got? Come through then
You at home with a safe you ain't got nuttin' in
Ask how I got it and keep it comin' in

I treat niggas like they my hoes, blaze 'em then I go
Straight to the Nico, meet another Puerto Rico
Cute like Chico, copy me like Kiko
You know I'm a freak, yo, I don't love them amigos
I'm straight to their pockets, blow all their sockets
I'm plush like carpet, they wanna stick the target
I don't give a fuck what you rock
Cause you see what I got, you want what I got
Want what I got? Come through then
You at home with a safe you ain't got nuttin' in
Ask how I got it and keep it comin' in
