Everyday - MC Lyte

Off the top see me and want to serve

Just thinkin about what they need

Ain’t that some nerve, now look here 24 hours and

7 whole days, I demand my respect

I demand my praise, everyday that I wake

I gotta have everything done with no mistakes

I take it incredibly slow don’t try to rush me

No means no, I never said a no that meant yes

Other women get taken for granted

I guess I got a wish list that must be fulfilled

And you gets none until I get my toes sucked

And my eyebrows pluked

I need my car waxed and floor shellac

I need my back rubbed and da bubbles in the tub

That float to the bed so that we can make love

It ain’t to ask for when

I come off tour to have my truck washed

Or my body massaged, all the bills paid i send home

All my dough and you being my man it just ain’t for show

All the lovey dovey yeah that is sweet

But honey bunny you gotta earn your keep

But don’t sleep cause I need a lot of shit done

And cold harded yeah check out whatever is clever

And get to stepping if you know somthing better

If not, then respect whatcha got

Meanwhile I got a new ride at the lot

Pick it up and bring it back to the spot

This is how we do it this is how we do it now, everyday

I need it done in a special way baby, tell them how it goes

On the real I need a man that understands me and

Realizes the reality: I’m in the MC industry which means

I want to live lovely I gotta make money

Listen so never ask me to give it less then what I got

If it’s too hot nigga, then raise up out my spot

If it’s my trade i made up the black ace of spade

Alone in the world it’s me you can’t fade

It’s my life, I do it my way

You don’t like my way?

Then hit the highway

See I’m special not because I’m MC lyte, but because

I’m a women with the gift to bear life, it’s done

Yes I’ve rested my case now run pick up my dermalogical

For my face this is how it goes down everyday

I need it done in a special way baby
