Mc Lyte - Can You Dig It

I got the charm and the wit of a pop hit
but I'm street.. "Catch the beat"
Don't drop it, just don't stop it
Don't you dare step off the topic
that I got a one-track mind and this track's all mind
the whole three four five six seven eight nine
in the pocket, burstin in the air are rockets
Creatin lots of Lyte -- get it?

How many different ways can I say it?
Piano Man, how many ways can you play it?
I spell it out, the L-Y-T-E
Without a doubt.. "Got to be funky!"
And it damn sho' nuff is
It gotta be like that, in this rough biz
of music, baby, use it or lose it
What's funky is funky, you can't refuse it
I got a grip on the groove and it won't move
an inch until I pinch this party
