Lyrics:
[ VERSE 1 ]
I'm rhymin and designin, also creatin
The dope def rhyme that is always being taken
By a sucker MC that wants to be like me
No trait of originality
But yo, I am not one to down another
So like I said before, just go for yours, sucker
I'm gonna take the time to drop a dope line
Or maybe even two, for you and your crew
So you can start shakin and movin all around
To the Lyte Thee MC and the King Of Chill sound
It's new and improved like a freshly cut diamond
Perfect timin, like a gem it's shinin
Or better yet a ruby, somewhat like a saphire
This jam you are forced to admire
Stop, stop
Look, look
Listen
[ VERSE 2 ]
Wanna battle me? Now that's strange behaviour
Drink and drive, yeah, you're probably safer
Cause when I start, I never give slack
You feel like a 'kick me' sign was pinned to your back
Yes I'm the super-duper with the roper-doper
Got the clean drawers on, yeah, I hope ya
Do, because I'm gonna strip you of your peace of mind
Now your piece is mine, damn, that's unkind
Come on, admit it, the Lyte is too fly
The rhymes that I say you can't deny
Because 100% is what I give it (Say what?)
I haunt the house with the hip-hop spirit
I tear it, repair it
Like a hand-me-down make you wear it
Save all your crocodile tears, grin and bear it
And with all your other brothers you're gonna share it
You hear me, junior? Cause soon you'll
Be a grown man with the mic in your hand
And understand biting's not part of the plan
That's wrong, I thought I taught you better than that
But that's what you get from a stabber in the back
Stop, stop
Look, look
Listen
[ VERSE 3 ]
M.C. - Master of Creativity
Rappin is the activity
Rhyme is the sport, let it be taught
That Lyte Thee MC is takin no shorts
In '88 I was great, but '89 is my time
Stop, look, and listen - to the right rhyme
K-Rock the DJ throws the cuts my way
Put em on the reel-to-reel and let them play
Leg 1 and Leg 2, they do the jumpin
The dancin, the pumpin, always up to somethin
But when it comes to the rap category
MC Lyte headlines the story
(Extra, extra, read all about it)
(Comin out fresh and flier than we did before)
(Listen up everybody)

MC Lyte’s Stop, Look, Listen nearly brought me to tears after not hearing it in over 15 years. I had some of the best times of my life when this track dropped. In fact, I used to listen to this whole album on my Sony Walkman while walking home from school back in 1989. MC Lyte has a hell-of-a stage presence. She’s also easy on the eye.
I still have the album on cassette tape & cd hidden in my closet with the rest of my 80's/90's old school hip hop GEMS!!! 🎤🎵🎼🎶🎧🎚🔌🎹🎛🎛📻🎙😎👊🏾
This that shit she killed the boss chick anottine
Yes, walking with that walkman, dope dope memories!!!
yes.
Facts!!!!!
The beat is too hype, one of 89’s best rap songs...
That same beat was sampled, by Mary J Blige.
Facts
88-91 was insane
Congrats to MC Lyte on officially gaining ownership to the rights of her stage name. One of my favorite artists and a Hip-Hop pioneer 💯
The voice,the flow,the originality goddamn!!
She definitely deserves hall of fame. She important and critical to the evolution of hip hop.
💯
I fucking love how this bass line hit when I be in the whip..
Damn!!!...a million years later this is still better than 99.9% of the "ish" that passes for music!!! Later, I love you...since 89' 😘
GOAT of female MCs!!!
Word Up
"Leg 1, Leg 2, they do the dancing, pumping always up to something" Do not compare Lyte to NO ONE. She is in a class all by herself.
Were her rhymes written by her brother Milk of the Audio Two, and BDK at other times? I’m not quite sure. Just asking a question.
Greatest (Female MC) Of All Time!!!
@@johnbrown1218 Shante tho
I compare her to Rakim and KRS ONE
1988 Mobile Civic Center.
15,000 packed.
She has on that very outfit with that exact hairdo.
I'll never forget it.
She ended the show with Cha,Chat,Chat.
We rapped that song so loud Lyte just started smiling and put the Mike down and let us rap it
She couldn't hear herself over us!
Mario Cann...Thats sounds like it was the shit I wish I could of been there late 80s hip hop was the shit!!!
Such an underrated song
This beat and So Wat Ya Sayin are two of ymmy favorites of all time. So simple but they just hit and got a smooth vibe to them.
The best female rapper ever!!!
SAY WORD to a lyrical queen from the old school RESPECT!!!
Damn that’s a nyce ass beat!!!
Still til this day!!!!
In 2024
No doubt
March 2019 still in heavy rotation in my ride
Hell Razah yea, this shit still go hard... real talk
🔥
Banging bass from my 4 custom 12" sub bass tubes.. Oh man...
