MC Lyte Likes Swingin'

I may come on strong but that's what you like

You like a female MC who can handle the mike

How do I know? Because you told me so

You instantly prefer a pro to supervise the show

So that's why I'm here, don't mean to make a case of it

This rap here, well, it's just for the taste of it

I write the rap to make the whole world sing

And I'm the type of female, well, I like to swing

Party people in the place, since you started the case

Of a demonstration, I need concentration

So you can make a full examination

Then you will agree that I'm the best MC

And so is my DJ on the tables, Rock

This is the best jam that you could get

The rap by Lyte and the beat by Stetsa

(Beat by Stetsa) (beat by Stetsa)

Never turn it down, 'cause it's what you requested

Any mic I hold, you know the big man pressed it

Sole believer in the rap I say

You believe it too, that's why you never walk away

You like the way I do it, you like my style

Study me like a book, 'cause you know I'm worth your while

Expressions on my face show you just how I feel

Add a rap to my gestures, now you know the deal

'Cause yo, I am the best and that I'll boast

Sit down and be the guest, and I'll be the host

It's wack to those that know and those that do not

Like 'Coke is it' I hit the spot

Like 'good vibrations', I'm like Sunkist

The rap is smooth, cause it's sealed with chapstick

Not gonna say that I been rappin since the day of birth

But I've acquired the knowledge like Ms. Butterworth

Ask me what's important, I tell you time and effort
