Can You Dig It - 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  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" "Right on!" (4X) 

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!" (8X) 

The L, Y, T, E, has to make 
"funky funky funky hit records" Constantly! 
So in the advent of an event
