| [ female voice ] i just want you to understand | |
| I just want you to understand | |
| [ male voice] - understand what? | |
| [ verse 1 ] | |
| I met a guy named tommy, damn, he charmed me | |
| Met him at the mall, but i knew he wouldn't harm me | |
| We exchanged numbers, hopin to meet again | |
| We couldn't wait for the romance to begin | |
| The relationship grew strong | |
| I didn't wanna be right if this love was wrong | |
| But oh no, came the problems, the first segment | |
| The dumb kid went and got some girl pregnant | |
| The second segment: started wheelin and dealin | |
| Didn't give a damn about how lyte was feelin | |
| But then he got wise, started treatin me better | |
| Cause all of his friends said i was a go-getter | |
| He knew he was usin me, and abusin me | |
| He also knew that soon he'd be losin me | |
| First i clocked him, yeah, i docked him | |
| But i rocked him - and then i dropped him | |
| [ verse 2 ] | |
| Then there was dave, couldn't behave | |
| So i punished him and put him in my lyte-as-a-rock cave | |
| Then he got bold, tried to play insane | |
| So bigfoot threw him off my paperthin train | |
| He tried to 10%-dis me, but he pissed me off | |
| Cause i'm the boss, and you know i'm not havin it | |
| Lyte is too dope, and you know i ain't crabbin it | |
| Then there was henry, way too friendly | |
| I needed a trip, he said he would send me | |
| Pay my airfare, if he could come with me | |
| I said, "listen, honey, i don't need your money | |
| Believe me when i tell you, i've got my own | |
| Cause i'm mc lyte on the microphone" | |
| Yeah | |
| [ verse 3 ] | |
| Here's another story: a dude named corey | |
| When i used to work, yes, i was a clerk | |
| At the worldtrade center, back in high school | |
| This little player musta thought i was a fool | |
| He took me out to lunch, offered me a ride home | |
| When we got there, he asked could he use my telephone | |
| I said, "yeah, sure", flipped him to the floor | |
| Cause he said "what's up?" and tried to feel my butt | |
| I kicked him down the stairs and said, "what you're provin?" | |
| Rolled him to his car and said, "get movin!" | |
| He tried to score it, i wasn't goin for it | |
| You can't play me, i'm lyte thee mc | |
| Never saw his face again until last week | |
| All beat up and bleedin down the street | |
| I looked to my left, there was a girl with a pipe in her hand | |
| Sayin, "why oh why can't you understand?" |
| female voice i just want you to understand | |
| I just want you to understand | |
| male voice understand what? | |
