survival of the fittest (remix)
Singer:mc lyte
who we working with today?
never does one know the force that is in them
till some puss jumps up and offends them
those that try to front and try to perpetrate
like they know me well when they don't know me at all
'how you're doin' and 'i'll give you a call'
when they don't know the zip code
sometimes you have to get kuffed
each and every time you try to play me
i'm not the egg to be cracked
you better be fully strapped
cause it only takes lyte one time
i'm the microphone controller
lyte'll take you places you never would've seen
if it was dark - you know what i mean?
cause when i hear weak rhymes
those who try to know me before they meet me
i'm sick of the prentendin and all the make-believe
so don't try to walk on me
i seen people taken advantage of
i have no time for petty things that are trivial
like who'll dance with me if i can't dance
that's what leg 1 and 2 are for
that's what i get paid for
you can see i work overtime
i thought i ought to tell you
so you can start mourning
so put your black on and your best black shoes
cause this is today's news
first time in history you thought to buy a paper
cause i was on the inside picture on the cover
i was brought up to be honest
like a rican rides a caddy i'm with this beat
the only time they complain is when it's too brief
but other than that they long for me to go on
on my birth certificate it states: 'star is born'
sample up the sound if you will
so watch the solar system
cause up and on the rise is the planet brooklyn
you can compare me to crackers and cheese
but don't compare me to a sucker mc
cause crackers and cheese
but sucker mc's ain't as good as they should
just enough to see if they can move it
show and prove to see that they can get into it
then and only then can you be called a sucker mc
so i'll just say farewell
