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

Yup!
Most definitely, her flow and confidence is unmatched
Facts 🔥💪🏾👍🏾👌🏾
Bur she does beauty..definitely one of the best,realist and true MC's
This song never gets old, even if we do.
I'm 54... 2022 , this was my era..😅
Let me know what y'all think of this remix 😜 I was just having some fun with it

I'm 53 it's my era to
She's the reason a lot of females picked up the mic. She is a living ICON!
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 🩷🫶🏾🏹🎯💯
Man!!! Ive known every word since 13 years of age and Im in my mid 40's now. MC Lyte has always ruled! 🎉🎉
Let me know what y'all think of this remix 😜 I was just having some fun with it
th-cam.com/video/J_PX5u1YF6c/w-d-xo.html
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
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
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.
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 🤨
that's not her real hair. you know right?
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
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!
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
In a era when men dominated. She killed it. No fake ass, eye lashes, no cussin, just straight fire 🔥. She’s very underrated.

You crazy ....you aint heard " God dam hoe shut the fuck up" Brooo that song
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 ❤️❤️❤️

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*
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
The VW Jetta. That was the shit at that time. And BBS rims. Damn I miss those days growing up in Chicago.
Detroit we had the Fitipaldi 5 spokes
Ok!!
My forever mood, it’s now 2024.. I’ll be back in 4yrs 😏✌🏽

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!!.
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.

MC lyte is one of the very best ever in history male or female look at the old school Jettas
Nodgrn
Her jacket is fly
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 👊
This is a masterpiece. She's on another level.
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....
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,...
One of the all-time baddest beats in music period. It can even sound good on the cheapest stereo.
Bars, Bars and Lyte has aged beautifully!!
I love how the color steams over her as she starts to rap. Signifies beauty and clarity.
MC Lyte is in my TOP 10 REGARDLESS of gender. SHE is LEGENDARY!!!!
Thats great news keep listening please
@@willierobinson2241 Since Day 1!!! Lyte as a Rock!!!👊🏾❤️👊🏾

This is what real self esteem looks like.
The fact that I still know all the lyrics says it all!!🔥🔥🔥☄☄☄🐐🐐🐐👑👑👑👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾
Lyte is definitely my female GOAT
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!!!
One dopest beats in HipHop history 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just love me some “ MC LYTE”🤩🎤💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
❤ dopest M.C and kept her clothes on... 🙌🏽
Long live the Queen 👑
Lyte, knew how to rock the mic. I played her all the time back in the day.
MC Lyte is the Godmother of all these female rappers!!
She is everything that we consider great
I remember seeing this video and falling in love with her the moment the song finished!! This is one of Lyte's hardest joints if not the hardest! This is straight Boom Bap over hard lyrics on the rocks!! I still pump this til this day!!
Happy 51st Birthday MC Lyte!(Born October 11, 1970)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂🤎🌷🌹💐🎀👍🏿👏🏿🙌🏿
2024 and I'm still listening to Mc Lite! I really appreciate Classics like this!!

Greatest female rapper
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! 💜
I loved this video when it first came out, can't believe it was so long ago.
Who still listening Shit fire old school 👍👌 they Need to bring it back 80s music
All time CLASSIC ………This beat is still DOPE……2021………You ain’t got the BAIT to HOOK this…………
One of the best Tracks in Hip Hop ever!!!
Classes in session.
Mc lyte was my top female rapper of all times she had real content compared to today's female rappers
I used to rock this track on a slim Aiwa Walkman back in '89😂
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
Dopest female rapper of all time no one can touch her.
Goddess of Rap!!!!!!!
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.
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!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
1 of the greatest period not just females
Best female rapper ever to me!!!!
From the beginning...she's still my #1 crush ❤❤❤😍😍😍.....2023
Checking in from Memphis @ 40 yrs old. I've always loved and respected MC Lyte since I was a kid. One of the hardest women to ever do it. This is one of my favorites.
MC light is a living legend on the mic you can't get in the old school then that
The godmother of rap and absolute Queen best female rapper ever ever and I mean ever as long as this woman is alive the top spot is hers
The 80s HIP HOP scene was something else.
The beat to this song is so epic.
Legendary Mc Lyte was Bad back in the day.
Im still alive to hear greatness.....504 in the house
This beat is colddd
Who besides me watching this legendary rapper in 2020
Mc Serch is most definitely the Forrest Gump of that era of Hip Hop. He ain't wasn't lying.
I remember watching this video when I was around 10 or 11 years old. The video ran on video music box. I wanted to be an MC after hearing this. MC Lyte is the best female rapper of all time.
I was 13 when this dropped in '88! Damn, those were some good times!
How old are you now if you don't mind asking, Ms. Watson?
I'm old enough not to reveal my age to strangers.😁😅
hope that jacket is in the museum
This song is a diss AND breakup song. Double burn. 30 years later and I finally recognize MC Search.
What a classic oldschool hit
I remember just about every female had the mushroom cut back in the day❤
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!!!😇💫💦💯💢💥
Great MC. That beat tho!
It was so much fun having grown up during the golden age of Hip-Hop. It was so fresh, new and exciting, and the vibe back then was like no other. MC Lyte was always a master at her craft, even in her beginnings. There are a handful of lady rappers that are truly fantastic and in a class all their own: Lyte, Missy E., Lin Que, Queen L., Nikki D (tragically underrated), Lauryn Hill.
Let me know what y'all think of this remix 😜 I was just having some fun with it
th-cam.com/video/J_PX5u1YF6c/w-d-xo.html
Those "Ooooooooo's" tho! Lol
😂😂😂right!
Young ma LoL
Classic!
Right. 😂
Those ooooohs help the song tremendously
Mc lyte is gorgeous even today
Especially today
#YESSSS!!!!😇💥💯💢💦💫
I had all her albums, cds 💿. Still love 💓 her & reminiscing in 2020🎶🎶
One of my all-time favorite songs, EVER!!!! Hip-Hop!!!!
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)
Watching this in 2020 because I'm on the 2 train going to The Bronx, and the subway conductor just announced that we're temporarily being held in due to crossed signals thank you for your patience....which triggered a flashback of this video in my mind....so I had to do it for old times sakes......this Jam is 🔥
Banging 2020!!
One of rap's pioneers and icons
