0:00I Cram To Understand U - MC Lyte
0:49I used to be in love with this guy named Sam
0:51I don't know why cause he had the head like that of a clam
0:54But you couldn't tell me nothin cause Sam was number one
0:57Cause to me oh my gosh he was one in a million
1:00I shoulda knew the consequences right from the start
1:03That he'd use me for my money and then break my heart
1:06But like a fool in love I fell for his game
1:08But I got mine so I show no shame
1:11In Empire winked his eye and then he kept walkin
1:14And all of those who live in Brooklyn know just what I'm talkin
1:17The roller disco where we all used to go
1:20Just to have some fun back in 1981
1:23You know the place Empire Boulevard
1:26Is where I first saw the ni**a and he tried to play hard
1:28But I knew the deal cause I knew his brother Jerry
1:31And Sam he just broke up with his girlfriend Terry
1:34So Jerry introduced Sam and I that night
1:36He said "Hello my name is Sam" I said "Hi my name is Lyte"
1:40We dipped and we dapped and we chit and we chat
1:42About this and that from sneakers to hats
1:46He said "Look I'm in the mood for love
1:49Simply because you're near me"
1:51Let's go To my house lay back and get nice
1:54Watch television Reunite On Ice
1:57I said "Slow down I know you wanna shake me down
2:00But I'm not one of the girls to go rippin around"
2:03Just like a test
2:04Ju-just like a test
2:05Ju-just like a test
2:07I cram to understand you
2:08Next month I finally went to his house
2:11I walked into the door there was a girl on the couch
2:14I said "Who's the frog the bump on the log
2:17You chump you punk how could you do me wrong
2:20Singing sad songs about your love is so strong"
2:22You said "Wait Lyte you're confused the girl is my cousin"
2:25Your brother agreed but later she said that she wasn't
2:28Just like a test
2:29Ju-just like a test
2:31Ju-just like a test
2:32I cram to understand U
2:34Forgotten next month we went to the Deuce
2:36Well I thought it kinda strange cause you had lots of juice
2:39You knew the dopes the pushers the addicts everybody
2:42Asked ya how you met em said you met em at a party
2:45Then these girls tried to tell me you were sellin the stuff
2:47I said "It's not your business so shut the f**k up"
2:51They said "Okay Lyte think what you wanna think
2:54But it's gon' be some sh*t when your man becomes a -"
2:56I said "Look to bust a move I don't even know you
2:59To put it Lyte I really don't care to"
3:02They kinda got mad and sort of offended
3:05They said "We only lookin out for yo best interest"
3:08I said "Thanks but no thanks" in an aggravated tone
3:11"When I wanna find out I find out on my own"
3:14Just like a test
3:15Ju-just like a test
3:16Ju-just like a test
3:18I cram to understand U
3:20Then my cousin said she saw you with this lady named C
3:22Well I'm clawin my thoughts I wonder who she could be
3:25You're spending all your time with her and not a second with me
3:27They say you spend your money on her and you're with her night and day
3:31Her name starts with a C and it ends with a k
3:33I strain my brain lookin for a name to fit this spellin
3:36But I just couldn't do it cause my heart kept yellin
3:39Burning begging for affection from you Sam
3:42But just like a test I cram to understand you
3:45Thought I knew you well enough to call you a man
3:48But Just like a test
3:49Ju-just like a test
3:51Ju-just like a test

3:54Then it came a time you started looking kinda thin
3:56I asked you why you said "Exercise tryina stay slim"
3:59I bought it even though I knew it was a lie
4:02Cause it really didn't matter you were still lookin fly
4:05But oh no oh no you started askin me for money
4:08Butter me up beg me and call me your honey
4:10So I gave you 2 yards and then I gave you one more
4:13You picked up your jacket and you flew out the door
4:16You came back an hour later and you asked me for a 10
4:19I said "I only got a 20" you said "Give me that then"
4:22I said "Nope I'll tell you now you better stop slobbin
4:25Find you a job or you better start robbin"
4:28So I stepped off with a giant step
4:31Picked up my belongings and I just left
4:33And now I see you in Empire every Sunday
4:36Juicin the girls up for some money and a lay
4:39But every time I see you doin it I just ruin it
4:42Tell em how ya on crack smoke sniff and chewin it
4:45And as for this girl Miss C oh well
