Lyrics

Taking It Lyte

[Interlude: MC Lyte]

This is something you don't wanna miss

Yeah

This is Lyte

And right about now, you in our booth

And taking part in history

We're in the midst of a Lord Finesse funk... conjunction

Yeah, and it's funk

Spliced up around, up and down... these tracks... ha!

In this wonderful lively album

Yeah

And as you lean back into the cut

And let that vinyl seep into the membranes

It ain't hard to tell who's the man in charge

Lord Finesse for 1995

Ripping it up out the [?]

Yeah, I like how this is going down

So stick around and peep the rest of this
