Can you dig it?

I got the charm and the wit of a pop hit but I'm street
(Catch the beat)
Don't drop it, just don't stop it
Don't you dare step off the topic
That I got a one-track mind and this track's all mind

The whole three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine in the pocket
Burstin' in the air are rockets creatin' 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 E without a doubt
(Got to be funky)
And it damn sho' nuff is
It gotta be like that, in this rough biz of music
Baby, use it or lose it

What's funky is funky, you can't refuse it
I got a grip on the groove and it won't move
An inch until I pinch this party

Can you dig it? Right on
Can you dig it? Right on
Can you dig it? Right on
Can you dig it? Right on

It's my style, love it or lump it
It's my beat, pass it or pump it
And it thumps, like a heartbeat
And when it gets old, it won't get weak

It'll get stronger, much stronger
Long live the King, but the Lyte lives longer
It's well argumented and well documented
I hold the title of the best, you can't prevent it

With a ten foot pole, you can't hold 'em
Born to be wild is what a song once told me
Was my destiny, so I strive to be the best
Lo and behold

Every rhyme I write, you gots to chant them
Every song I sing, a national anthem
Is there a message in my music?
If I can do it, you can do it

Can you dig it? Right on
Can you dig it? Right on
Can you dig it? Right on
Can you dig it? Right on

Can you dig it? Right on
Can you dig it? Right on
Can you dig it? Right on
Can you dig it? Right on

The L, Y, T, E, has to make
(Funky, funky, funky hit records)
Constantly, so in the advent of an event
I have to invent a dope style comment

I come off with flyin' colors
I keep my own identity, compared to no others
It's hard to do but I pull it through
Cause I'm Lyte the MC, that's what I do

The body snatcher, yo I gots to catch a
MC head up, bring on a batch of new ones
So I can systematically do 'em
The old ones, huh, I already been through 'em

Two by two, I do 'em like Noah
Yes, you know the time, so let's go
The bottom line is I'm funk bound
K-Rock and Master T, let's get down

Right on
