Beyond the Hype

I, am, back on the scene

I'm takin it to the extremes

New blend, I've been schemin

Raw type stuff I know you've been fiendin

Waitin for, such a long time

for MC Lyte to drop another dope rhyme

Well I deliver as quick as you call my name

I'm beyond the hype, beyond the fame

So now, I prove to you

That I can shake you groove you and move you too

I am, too much to bear

to touch and then share

Once you've had one taste one touch one bite

All you want is M-C Lyte!

And I deliver as quick as you call my name

I'm beyond the hype, beyond the fame

Chorus:

We've got to try to move beyond

I'm comin

We've got to try to break on through

To the extreme

We've got to try to move beyond

Beyond the hype

We've got to try to break on through!

Can't, you, see, I'm beyond the hype

And all that type of jazz and pizazz

I'm, into, reality

Forget the fantasy, this is me

Beyond the hype, so don't believe

what you read, cause they'll deceive

So now I come to you

telling no lies, the truth is in my eyes

Unlike the broadcasters on the news

who try to tell you, the donts and the do's

The media blows things out of proportion

The public's eye, proceed with caution

It's a dog eat dog world

but we'll be alright

All we gots to do is stick together

and move beyond the hype

Chorus 2X (w/ variations)

You, must, trust when I say I'm here to stay

and believe I'll never leave

Haste, makes, waste

The track is all that, so pick up the pace

Forget the rumors, gossip, shit-talk

Besides that's old news, and that can walk

I'm beyond that, you are also

Release the negative vibe and let it go

So now, I come to you

Bearing gifts that certainly uplift

From coast to coast, Midwest I'm the most

but still, not on a high post

I'm comin, just call my name

Beyond the hype, beyond the fame

Down to Earth, I'm just that type

to take you and move beyond the hype

Chorus 2X (w/ variations)

I'm comin (3X)

To the extreme

Beyond the hype

Beyond the hype...
