Lyrics:
When you say you love me, it doesn't matter
It goes to my head as just chit chatter
You may think it's egotistical or just worry free
But what you say I take none of it seriously
And even if I did I wouldn't tell you so
I'd let you pretend to read me
And then you'll know
Cause I hate when one attempts to analyze
In fact, I despise those who even try
To look into my eyes to see what I am thinking
That dream is over you gotta sink it
I tell all of you like I told all of them
What you say to me is just paper thin, word
I'm not the kind of girl to try to play a man out
I take the money and the gear and then break the hell out
No that's not my strategy, not the game I play
I admit I play game but it's not done that way
Truly when I get involved I give it my heart
I mean my mind, my soul, my body I mean every part
But if it doesn't work out, yo it just doesn't
It wasn't meant to be you know, it just wasn't
So I treat all of you like I treat all of them
What you say to me is still paper thin
In one ear and right out the other
I heard his mumbo jumbo (eeeish) lover
I don't pay attention
I don't concentrate
You ain't got the bait that it takes to hook this
A-hah, a-hah, a-hah
Sucker you missed, I put all feelings aside I know who I am
My name is Lyte is your name Sam?
Cause if it is step off, grab your coat and get lost
Wrap your scarf around your throat and go back and catch a rope
And hit the road Sam, don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road Sam, don't you come back no more
So now I take precaution when choosing my mate
I do not touch until the third or fourth date
Then maybe we'll kiss on the fifth or sixth
Time that we meet (mmmuaah) like this
Cause a date without a kiss is so incomplete
And then maybe I'll let you play with my feet
You could suck the big toe and play with the middle
It's so simple unlike a riddle
It's as easy as counting to 1-2-3
In other terms, letters L-Y-T-E
I'll tell you, you, you and all of you
In the back and in the middle and the front
Yo, that's it paper thin word up
Lyte checkin out
Special dedication to my DJ K-Rock in the place to be

1000% I agree
Facts
😂 Hell yeah
She still is!😄 She flows to the the beat at none stop, always jumped at any catchy tune at any music, she's smart with a lot of knowledge.😉
BIG FACTS 🩷🫶🏾🏹🎯💯
People, look here!!!! Look at this beauty singing!!! No fake ass, no fake hair, no fake nails, no fake lashes and no damn face surgery and listen her talented lyrics. Now this is a real WOMAN! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why do you have a saved playlist that has nicki minaj 🤨

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Facts wouldn’t ever consider calling herself bitch nor permitting any man to call her that
Facts
Mc lyte is 1 of the greatest female rappers alive like if ya agree
FACTS
The greatest. Easily forgotten by many. Not many female writers that I like, but her bars made you forget about gender.
I agree. I did not like her orange hair
That's rite
I agree lyte is tight then now and forever more!
In a era when men dominated. She killed it. No fake ass, eye lashes, no cussin, just straight fire 🔥. She’s very underrated.

ua-cam.com/video/J_PX5u1YF6c/v-deo.html
You crazy ....you aint heard " God dam hoe shut the fuck up" Brooo that song
This song is still fresh as hell
Rush Love, It’s like a dating advice for many in 2020.
This beat is insane with the lyrics ahead of her time !!
Timeless classic
@@bbr1133 why not to get lyrics comment to top?!
@@marlonlloyd5571 why put top an idiotic comment which is not funny or fresh or truth
Fully dressed, not talking about having sex, not twerking just dope ass lyrics. And was still respected by everyone. And those Jettas were fire back in the day. What a time to be alive.
Best female rapper of all time, hands down!
I like salt n peppa better
Exactly
Kim
terrytees I think Lauryn Hill and Queen Latifah might have something to say about that.😉
*Roxanne shonte enters the chat*
Her lyrics are still relevant today. They don't age, they mature like a fine wine. Love Lyte
So young and already so mature. Delivering fresh piece of advice on such an iconic beat in a fine video. She must be one of the greatest!

Real talent always does.
Straight bars. MC Lyte was a beast and if she was still rapping she would still be on top.
Awesome. Would give shante a run for her money.
Both absolutely AMAZING emcees %100 🔥
MC Lyte is a 🐐 male or female record sells don't matter
Of Course Her Bars Were Legendery.
Marquise Wisher she was a beast but she would NOT be a top rapper today. Lyte had skills but skills aren’t what make a rapper hot today. Garbage rappers like Nicki & Cardi are considered top of the game
Yes. Thee best
My forever mood, it’s now 2024.. I’ll be back in 4yrs 😏✌🏽
She did this classic track at 17 yrs old
Say word?
Word
Are you happy now?
Hard to believe.
So mature at that age
These were the good old days the 80s back when black people was pure and really beautiful I would do anything to go back in time🥰🥰🥰🥰
Me too
Stupid. U hating
Right with no fake implants or fake body parts.
Take me with you please!
@@donaldbrown9671 or long fake eyelashes I hate them joints
MC Lyte, Roxanne Shante, Salt n Peppa, Queen Latifah! Queens of my generation.
Legends.
Nah, only MC Lyte
Real talk
Damn right

Dapper Dan
That's rite

Best Female Rapper of ALL-TIME
Along with Lauryn Hill
bubz75 Not really
+bubz75 Rah Digga, tho
Roxane Shante, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, and Lauryn Hill are the best female rapper.
One of the best Emcees period
Summer of 1988!! I was fresh home from my freshman year at Hampton University and saw MC Lyte perform this song at a club. She tore it down and showed mad love to me and my girls. I would always see Lyte over the years in different places and she still remembers me my friends!! Much love from Harlem NYC ❤️❤️❤️

Roxxane's Revenge, Paper Thin, Ladies Night, I'll Be, U.N.I.T.Y. and Doo Wop That Thing are the BEST hip-hop songs by womens on the last century. PERIOD.
@@channel_abc123_ not many got that one on their radar 👊
Lyte is definitely my female GOAT
MC Lyte is in my TOP 10 REGARDLESS of gender. SHE is LEGENDARY!!!!

Mc Lyte is one of the most baddest female rappers back in the day. I remember jamming off of paper thin and to this very day Mc Lyte is still no.1 uno and yes I'm still her no. 1 biggest fan.

50 YEARS OF HIP HOP THANK YOU WOOO MC LYTE LOL 8/2023
Classes in session.
This is what real self esteem looks like.
Bars, Bars and Lyte has aged beautifully!!
Tupac made a song called Old School in which he gives props to a lot of rappers before him, including MC Lyte..Rakim,KRS1,Slick Rick,...
Mc Lyte is a phenomenon that we in New York love with everything we own. She is a proud libra and a graceful Warrior. Libras rock!!.
I do not know why her and rakim do not have a lifetime achievement award or a life biopic movie or solo documentary. If Roxanne can have one she more than deserves it. I mean those two literally pushed rap forward. They change how rappers flowed . They also innovated with there music w/ slower delivery calmness jazzier samples. She proved that women could be just as respected in the game. Both of there beats were minimalistic but hard they changed the game! 💜
80s baby listening to this before school. Still go hard 2024
Happy 51st Birthday MC Lyte!(Born October 11, 1970)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂🤎🌷🌹💐🎀👍🏿👏🏿🙌🏿
32 years ago! Wow time sure does fly. If U wasn't there some wouldn't appreciate the FLY TIMES!
Dopest female rapper of all time no one can touch her.
"and then maybe,I'll let ya play with my feet.! " 😂Talk to ish Lyte!!!
One of the best voices in hip hop male or female 🔥 🐐 #libranation ♎
This is a masterpiece. She's on another level.
One of the all-time baddest beats in music period. It can even sound good on the cheapest stereo.
2024 and I'm still listening to Mc Lite! I really appreciate Classics like this!!
That’s the definition of an MC 🔥🎤🔥

The 80s HIP HOP scene was something else.
If we r being honest...MC Lyte has been around since b4 yo' MTV Raps...she paid her dues paved the way...i still listen to her music becuz it takes me back to when it all began...Music....
Chile WHO Looking For OR Need Credit THAT BADD Huh???!!...🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤔🤔🙏🏽MC. Lyte IS An Iconic, Legend That Never Need No One Else HELP But GOD Him SELF AMEN!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mc lyte is gorgeous even today
Especially today
#YESSSS!!!!😇💥💯💢💦💫
From the beginning...she's still my #1 crush ❤❤❤😍😍😍.....2023
Mc Serch is most definitely the Forrest Gump of that era of Hip Hop. He ain't wasn't lying.
I love how the color steams over her as she starts to rap. Signifies beauty and clarity.
Mc lyte was my top female rapper of all times she had real content compared to today's female rappers
1 of the greatest period not just females
Greatest female rapper
Im still alive to hear greatness.....504 in the house
I used to rock this track on a slim Aiwa Walkman back in '89😂
At 50yo I still remember every word of this song. It's funny what we never forget. Me and Hip Hop turned 50 at the same time. Ain't that some special shit.
Those "Ooooooooo's" tho! Lol
😂😂😂right!
Young ma LoL
Classic!
Right. 😂
Those ooooohs help the song tremendously
I’m 50 now but in the 80s I was teen. I idolized her. A female rapper when their just weren’t that many at all. I remember her battle with Antoinette where she crushed her. She reps women and Brooklyn hard!!!
Hit the road Sam, don't you come back no more no more no more no more
Hit the road Sam, don't you come back no more (Ooooooooo)
Who still listening Shit fire old school 👍👌 they Need to bring it back 80s music
The fact that I still know all the lyrics says it all!!🔥🔥🔥☄☄☄🐐🐐🐐👑👑👑👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾
Idk why i just got kinda emotional watching this video seeing it’s a few years shy of being 35 years ago... this hip hop came a long way she a legend
The golden age of rapp.
Legendary Mc Lyte was Bad back in the day.
What a classic oldschool hit
I'm a old school fan of MC lyte for a lifetime and she is a beautiful queen and gorgeous woman to me for real ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
All time CLASSIC ………This beat is still DOPE……2021………You ain’t got the BAIT to HOOK this…………
80s female rappers are much different than the ladies today.

Yea and I wanted one Bad!!
😂... lol , not the mushroom...
#YESSSS, #FLYBACKS..I HAD THAT #SAME HAIRSTYLE..#SHORT IN THE #FRONT AND #LONG BEHIND...#MEMORIES!!!😇💫💦💯💢💥
When this song came out I had just graduated from high school, and on my way to college. There wasn't an empty dance floor anywhere when this joint came on...
I loved this video when it first came out, can't believe it was so long ago.
MC Lyte is the Godmother of all these female rappers!!
As you can see they got real hair no wigs and not shaking there ass.....real talent
Well, DJ K Rock turned around and started twerking...lol.
❤ dopest M.C and kept her clothes on... 🙌🏽
Long live the Queen 👑
This song is a diss AND breakup song. Double burn. 30 years later and I finally recognize MC Search.
Giving her her flowers now!!!!! Talented!!!
She is everything that we consider great
MC light is a living legend on the mic you can't get in the old school then that
Who besides me watching this legendary rapper in 2020
I'm so glad that I grew up in those times.
2023 still jamming❤
One dopest beats in HipHop history 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lyte, knew how to rock the mic. I played her all the time back in the day.
I just love me some “ MC LYTE”🤩🎤💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
2024 still on this hard! We used to ride to school saying “you can suck the big toe or play with the middle!” 😂 this was when we had to hope Rap City would play this video! One of my all time faves!
Probably the best female MC all time
Can't believe I'm this old but im soooooo glad af
This beat is colddd
MC Lyte was everything middle school. Boy girl parties, the wop, the colisuem on Jamaica Ave, Asymetrical haircuts, bomber jackets ! Memories.
Lyte got some serious flow
Best female rapper ever to me!!!!
Best female rapper ever. Period.
Great MC. That beat tho!
