Music Is

Lyrics

[Intro: JoiStarr | MC Lyte] Through the day, and the night Thinking of you is—, music is my lifeline There's no words to truly find Thinking of you is—, all I do (Yeah) [Verse 1: MC Lyte] I can't believe it, everything is going like I need it I pray for this blessing, I receive it, you could keep it All them negative vibes, I got a reason And keep it all alive so I'm dreamin' Strivin' for the best cross fit, see a boss hit like Serena Some doubt but I make 'em all believers My wins is your wins, I'm flyin' like Jordan I'm in the air, coastin' like a black Lear, floatin' like I'm out here, yеah I'm on the point I'm dunkin' like I'm O'Neal 'causе I keep it so real So def, so left from the East, hit the West then I'm gone Overseas where they lovin' all my songs You see, home's where I'm reppin' and my word is my weapon Really, how many last this long? Come on now [Chorus: JoiStarr | MC Lyte] Through the day, and the night, music is my lifeline Thinking of you is all I do, all I do There's no words to truly find how you are my lifeline Thinking of you is all I do, all I do (Listen) [Verse 2: MC Lyte] I'm a warrior, but I ain't playin' Grab my lethal weapon like I'm Damon before I weigh in Quiet storm with my silencer Never violent, only my words could silence her On the frontline, we need the strongest of women And the hate, we could end it, better time, we could spend it, yeah We got the whole world lookin' at our game lookin' crooked While the man overtook it, yeah Can we take it back, claim it for keeps? Never get caught slippin' by sheets, sleep Weak, never, got a whole lotta muscle, got a whole lotta hustle Better know it when we come through, yeah They knowin' when the check's due, uh They knowin' that you're blessed, boo But it's open season on heads committin' treason On the game for no reason, they got nothin' to believe in [Chorus: JoiStarr | MC Lyte] Through the day, and the night, music is my lifeline Thinking of you is all I do, all I do There's no words to truly find how you are my lifeline Thinking of you is all I do, all I do [Interlude: MC Lyte] Music, my lifeline, all started with "I Cram to Understand U," haha I hooked up with a guy named Clark Kent, and we went and recorded "I Cram to Understand U" that was just a poem in a rhyme book that I had, actually And we rocked that thing, Brooklyn basement, and that was my little cassette tape that I would walk around with and play for everybody I remember seeing D-Nice when he was DJing for KRS-One backstage and I let him hear it And it was just like, "Just like a test, just, just like a test Just, just like a test, I cram to understand you" And he was like, "Yo, this is dope" And then KRS-One came by and was like what you listening to, and he grabbed the headset and he was like, "Yo, this is wack," hahahaha And I looked at D-Nice and I was like, "What does 'wack' mean?" He was like, "Nevermind him, nevermind him" And so he's always been a big supporter of mine It's just, love, you know? Music is really my lifeline It's all I do, it's all I love, and I just remember being First, Sparkle, then I was Red, then I changed my name to Lyte And then I've been rocking Lyte ever since, you know, eleven albums, twelve albums, something like that I can't even keep count no more But it brings me joy, yeah [Chorus: JoiStarr] Through the day, and the night, music is my lifeline Thinking of you is all I do, all I do There's no words to truly find how you are my lifeline Thinking of you is all I do, all I do [Outro: JoiStarr] Through the day, and the night Thinking of you is—, music is my lifeline
