Stop, Look, Listen Lyrics - Eyes On This - Mc Lyte

I'm rhymin' and designin', also creatin' 

The dope Def Rhyme that is always being taken 

By a sucker MC that wants to be like me 

No trait of originality 

But yo, I am not one to down another 

So like I said before, just go for yours, sucker 

Gonna take the time to drop a dope line 

Or maybe even two, for you and your crew 

So you can start shakin' and movin' all around 

To the Lyte thee MC and the king of chill sound 

It's new and improved like a freshly cut diamond 

Perfect timin', like a gem it's shinin' 

Or better yet a ruby, somewhat like a sapphire 

This jam you are forced to admire 

Stop, look, listen 

Stop, look, listen 

Wanna battle me? Now that's strange behavior 

Drink and drive, yeah, you're probably safer 

'Cause when I start, I never give slack 

You feel like a 'kick me' sign was pinned to your back 

Yes I'm the super-duper with the roper-doper 

Got the clean drawers on, yeah, I hope ya do 

Because I'm gonna strip you of your peace of mind 

Now your piece is mine, damn, that's unkind 

Come on, admit it, the Lyte is too fly 

The rhymes that I say you can't deny 

Because a hundred percent is what I give it, say what? 

I haunt the house with the hip-hop spirit 

I tear it, repair it like a hand-me-down make you wear it 

Save all your crocodile tears, grin and bear it 

And with all your other brothers you're gonna share it 

You hear me, junior? 'Cause soon you'll 

Be a grown man with the mic in your hand 

And understand biting's not part of the plan 

That's wrong, I thought I taught you better than that 

But that's what you get from a stabber in the back 

Stop, look, listen 

Stop, look, listen 

MC master of creativity 

Rappin' is the activity 

Rhyme is the sport, let it be taught 

That Lyte thee MC is takin' no shorts 

In '88 I was great, but '89 is my time 

Stop, look, and listen to the right rhyme 

K-rock the DJ throws the cuts my way 

Put 'em on the reel-to-reel and let them play 

Leg 1 and leg 2, they do the jumpin' 

The dancin', the pumpin', always up to somethin' 

But when it comes to the rap category 

MC Lyte headlines the story 

{Extra, extra, read all about it 

Comin' out fresh and flier than we did before 

Extra, extra, read all about it 

Comin' out fresh and flier than we did before 

Extra, extra, read all about it 

Extra, extra, read all about it 

Extra, extra, read all about it} 

Listen up everybody
