survival of the fittest (remix)

Singer:mc lyte

yo king

man

who we working with today?

ah - lyte

bud light?

nah giz

mc lyte

yo milk

kick it

never does one know the force that is in them

till some puss jumps up and offends them

then i have to subtract

minus and eliminate

those that try to front and try to perpetrate

like they know me well when they don't know me at all

sayin 'hi'

'how you're doin' and 'i'll give you a call'

then

to top it off

sayin they'll visit

when they don't know the zip code

much less the digits

like shelly says

sometimes you have to get kuffed

like mc lyte says

yo

you're gonna get buffed

each and every time you try to play me

i'm not the egg to be cracked

the digem to be smacked

so when i see you

you better be fully strapped

at all times

cause it only takes lyte one time

and one time only

i'm the microphone controller

mc sucker folder

lyte'll take you places you never would've seen

if it was dark - you know what i mean?

so show appreciation

gratitude

it is necessary

cause when i hear weak rhymes

i am quick to bury

those who try to know me before they meet me

you can't grow on me

so don't greet me

i'm sick of the prentendin and all the make-believe

pronto

move back

give me space to breathe

i'm not a push-over

so don't push up on me

i'm not a sidewalk

so don't try to walk on me

i seen people taken advantage of

in situations like money

trust and love

i have no time for petty things that are trivial

like who'll dance with me if i can't dance

i'm not a dancer

that's what leg 1 and 2 are for

i master the rhyme

that's what i get paid for

they say two extras

yo

it's all in the rhyme

and if you look hard

you can see i work overtime

this is a warning

a due day is dawning

i thought i ought to tell you

so you can start mourning

so put your black on and your best black shoes

and keep your ears open

cause this is today's news

extra

extra

read all about it

the boy shouted

first time in history you thought to buy a paper

cause i was on the inside picture on the cover

oopsy daisy

i should be more modest

but hey

what can i say

i was brought up to be honest

like a rican rides a caddy i'm with this beat

chief

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

raps by lyte

production king of chill

so watch the solar system

never stop lookin

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

see

cause crackers and cheese

yo

that shit is good

but sucker mc's ain't as good as they should

be

see

they lack

so lyte must tax

not much

just enough to see if they can move it

show and prove to see that they can get into it

try your best

a useful strategy

and after practice

if you're still raggedy

then and only then can you be called a sucker mc

sucker

i hate long good-bye's

so i'll just say farewell

any last comments

lyte fans do tell

i got you locked on

so now i'm gonna free ya

okay

here we go

stop

see ya
