MC Lyte - Check Lyrics

Get it if you can
If you cannot get up off the pot
You been missing, pissing up the spot a lot
And I've been waiting on the sideline
Give you the guideline
Get up in that pocket like a pocket light
But they don't rock it right
They don't concern me, can't even burn me
Not even with a lighter, all them liars
They ain't worthy
You heard me, I'm a loner: me, myself, and I
I'm a powerhouse
Ready to collide with the greatest tide
It's like a typhoon in the making
What I'm saying leave your whole
City shaking, broken down
Better start praying
I ain't playing, this ain't
Hopscotch, on the block
Or skelly up in den streets
Get jelly whenever we meet
Chic, I'm about my paper dudes, see ya later
South side of the equator, so hot
Gotta thank my maker
I'm here, flow with the best of them
Get low with the rest of them
Rang the alarm in '88 and I'm still buzzin'
Cousin, they trying to hate
But I just elevate
Get it straight: I'm Lyte as
A rock and they featherweight

You said you seen it all
But you ain't never seen the Lyte
They talk a good game
But they ain't ready for this life
I'm trying to give you the code
Let the future unfold
I had to follow them rules
That's how I open them doors

I put that work in check hustle hard check
I paid my dues yep
I gave you hit's like Ruffneck
And I'm still grinding yep still shining yep
I'm all that's left yep
I'm still the best, but you ain't yet

I'm living life to the fullest
Everywhere I go they ask
How you pass like a bullet
Speed of Lyte and that Lytro gas
Here I go, there I go, here I go again
I ain't no fad like Michael Jack
They know I'm Bad
Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good
You from the hood, you understood
And understand just who I am
I live to be free, I live for the beat
I live for the biz
That's what it is, no wondering, I get it in
I get it done you are the one, but I
Am the Lyte without me, you're out of sight
I'm taking this entire game to a new height
Just watch me
Just like you do YouTube and Hulu
Lyte is back and all over
This map like who knew
Rapping to you listen because I
Might not say it again
Find good people, wave them in
Let them haters and them
Ain't know saving them
It's casualties in this game of life
That may not seem right
So if you get it, then get it get it
Then get it right you said you seen it all
But you ain't never seen the Lyte
They talk a good game
But they ain't ready for this life
I'm trying to give you the code
Let the future unfold
I had to follow them rules
That's how I open them doors

I put that work in check hustle hard check
I paid my dues yep
I gave you hit's like Ruffneck
And I'm still grinding yep still shining yep
I'm all that's left yep
I'm still the best, but you ain't yet
