I am back on the scene
I'm takin' it to the extreme
New plan, I've been schemin'
Raw type stuff, I know you've been feedin'

Waitin' for such a long time
For MC Lyte to drop another dope rhyme
Well, I deliver as quick as you call my name
I'm beyond the hype, beyond the fame

So now, I prove to you
That I can shake you, groove you and move you too
I am too much to bear
To touch and then share

Once you've had one taste, one touch, one bite
All you want is MC Lyte
And I deliver as quick as you call my name
I'm beyond the hype, beyond the fame

We got to try to move beyond, I'm comin'
We got to try to break on through, to the extreme
We got to try to move beyond, beyond the hype
We got to try to break on through

Can't you see I'm beyond the hype
And all that type of jazz and pizazz
I'm into reality
Forget the fantasy, this is me

Beyond the hype, so don't believe
What you read, 'cause they'll deceive
So now I come to you
Telling no lies, the truth is in my eyes

Unlike the broadcasters on the news
Who try to tell you the don'ts and the do's
The media blows things out of proportion
The public's eye proceed with caution

It's a dog eat dog world
But we'll be alright
All we gots to do is stick together
And move beyond the hype

We got to try to move beyond, I'm comin'
We got to try to break on through, to the extreme
We got to try to move beyond, beyond the hype
We got to try to break on through, beyond the hype

We got to try to move beyond, I'm comin'
We got to try to break on through, to the extreme
We got to try to move beyond, I'm comin'
We got to try to break on through

You must trust when I say I'm here to stay
And believe I'll never leave
Haste makes waste
The track is all that so pick up the pace

Forget the rumors, gossip, **** talk
Besides that's old news and that can walk
I'm beyond that, you are also
Release the negative vibe and let it go

So now I come to you
Bearing gifts that certainly uplift
From coast to coast, Midwest, I'm the most
But still not on a high post

I'm comin', just call my name
Beyond the hype, beyond the fame
'Down to Earth', I'm just that type
To take you and move beyond the hype

We got to try to move beyond, beyond the hype
We got to try to break on through, to the extreme
We got to try to move beyond, I'm comin'
We got to try to break on through, I'm comin'

We got to try to move beyond, I'm comin'
We got to try to break on through, I'm comin'
We got to try to move beyond, I'm comin'
We got to try to break on through, beyond the hype

I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
To the extreme
Beyond the hype, beyond the hype
