Mc Lyte - Can You Dig It Lyrics
I got the charm and the wit of a pop hitBut Im street.. catch the beatDont drop it, just dont stop itDont you dare step off the topicThat I got a one-track mind and this tracks all mindThe whole three four five six seven eight nineIn the pocket, burstin in the air are rocketsCreatin 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-eWithout a doubt.. got to be funky!And it damn sho nuff isIt gotta be like that, in this rough bizOf music, baby, use it or lose itWhats funky is funky, you cant refuse itI got a grip on the groove and it wont moveAn inch until I pinch this partyCan you dig it? right on right on! (4x)Its my style, love it, or lump itIts my beat, pass it or pump itAnd it thumps, like a heartbeatAnd when it gets old, it wont get weakItll get stronger, much strongerLong live the king, but the lyte lives longerIts well argumented and well documentedI hold the title of the best, you cant prevent itWith a ten foot pole, you cant hold emBorn to be wild is what a song once told meWas my destiny, so I strive to be the bestLo and behold..Every rhyme I write, you gots to chant themEvery song I sing, a national anthemIs there a message in my music?If I can do it -- you can do it!Can you dig it? right on right on! (8x)The l, y, t, e, has to makeFunky funky funky hit records constantly!So in the advent of an eventI have to invent a dope style commentI come off with flyin colorsI keep my own identity, compared to no othersIts hard to do, but I pull it throughCause Im lyte the mc, thats what I doThe body snatcher, yo I gots to catch aMc head up, bring on a batch ofNew ones, so I can systematically do emThe old ones, huh, I already been through emTwo by two, I do em like noahYes you know the time, so lets goThe bottom line, is Im funk boundK-rock and master t, lets get downCan you dig it? right on right on! (8x)
