Can You Dig It Lyrics - Singles - Mc Lyte

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, bursting in the air are rockets 

Creating 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-why-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" 

"Right on!" [Repeat: x4] 

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" 

"Right on!" [Repeat: x8] 

The L, why, 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 flying 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 

"Can you dig it?" 

"Right on" 

"Right on!" [Repeat: x8]
