I Am Woman — текст песни (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
Hands are folded, no whispering or passing notes
All attention to me ya have to devote
I`m like a teacher, but then again not quite
Cos a teacher`s salary I`m makin` a night
On the mic rhymes witty and bright
Maybe that`s why the name is Lyte
Yo, bust it, Imma end it right here
DJ K-Rock, you end it over there
