Please Understand Lyrics - Eyes On This - Mc Lyte

[ 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 want to 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?"
