[Verse 1: MC Lyte]
I am woman, hear me roar
When I grab the mic, it's never a bore
When I'm on stage sayin' a rhyme
I often wonder what you think of mine
Is it fresh or weak, or is it live or dead?
Yo, it's got to be somethin' if you're bobbin' your head
To the beat, can I get an amen, brother?
Liked that rhyme? Well, here goes another

[Interlude: DJ K-Rock]
Hold up, hold up, hold up, check it out
Before we go any further, we gotta announce who we are
I am DJ K-Rock and this is my homegirl, MC Lyte
Kick it for 'em

[Verse 2: MC Lyte & DJ K-Rock]
We had to pause for station identification
Now you know my name here's some more information
Well, let's see, what you wanna know about me?
MC L-Y-T-E
The queen? Nah, that's too corny
The sexy? Nah, that gets the guys too horny
The best? Now that sounds conceited
But what is true is true, so it has to be repeated (Ha)
The best is Lyte, when I'm on the mic (Go, go, go, go)
And MCs look straight ahead, 'cause this pitch'll make your neck tired (Go, go, go, go)
And I say loosen up and relax
The fiction you been livin', I'ma fill with facts
Right now

[Interlude: DJ K-Rock]
MC Lyte, DJ K-Rock
Name of the group is Me & My DJ
Kickin' it live in '88
Do it

[Verse 3: MC Lyte]
I am woman, hear me roar
Comin' out fresher and flyer than I did before
That's right, I'm well-respected
Don't get stupid, I'm well-protected
If you wanna battle, I'm well-prepared
Me and K-Rock are far from scared, you know what?
We're brave, livin' in a cave of gold
Waitin' for the misbehaved to get bold
But as I look around, so far so good
MCs behaving just like they should
Hands are folded, no whispering or passing notes
All attention to me you have to devote
I'm like a teacher, but then again not quite
'Cause a teacher's salary I make in a night
On the mic, rhymes witty and bright
Maybe that's why the name is Lyte
Yo, bust it, I'ma end it right here
DJ K-Rock, you end it over there
