I Am Woman

Mc Lyte

Verse 1




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 ya think of mine



Is it fresh or weak or is it live or dead?



Yo it's got ta be somethin' if you're boppin' your head



To the beat can I get an amen brother?



Liked that rhyme? Well here goes another...




[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




We had to pause for station identification



Now ya 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



The best is Lyte, when I'm on the mic



And MC's look straight ahead cos this pitch'll make your neck tired



And I say loosen up and relax



The fiction you been livin' Imma fill with facts



Right now...




[MC Lyte, DJ K-Rock. Name of the group is Me and My DJ. Kickin' it



live in '88. Do it.]




Verse 3




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 ya 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



MC's behaving just like they should
