Ain't No Other
MC Lyte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't got to get the crowbar to get you up off of my shit
I don't know why though, they try to compare me
Did not you know that you can't get NEAR me
So don't fuck up when identifying the voice
You know from A to Z, I'm a first choice
The why to the T, surrounded by the L and the E
Put it together and you got Lyte the MCDeep, deep, deeper than the vein
Of the membrane, squish it, put your ass to sleep
I got octaves, not to sing but to rap so
Give me dap, perhaps admit, that I'm all that
The shit that I write huh, surely chart climbers
Don't try to run, because your mom'll come and find ya
Getcha, gotcha, getcha gotcha getcha gotcha
Break ya break ya punk and fuck that ass in two's
It's like that anna, it's like that anna
I'm not the funny fat one they call Roseanne-ah
In MC Lyte's song "Ain't No Other", she confidently declares that there is no one else like her. She asserts that no one can compete with her skills as a rapper and that she is in a league of her own. She also warns anyone who dares to try and compare her to other rappers that they will not be able to get near her level. Lyte's lyrics are not only a celebration of her own talent but also a challenge to those who would try to diminish or discredit her.
Lyte uses clever wordplay and rhyme schemes to convey her message. She references the alphabet (A to Z), spelling out her name and proclaiming herself as a top choice. She also boasts about her ability to rap deeper than the vein and put her listeners to sleep with her smooth flow. Lyte then contrasts herself with Roseanne, a popular comedian of the time, and asserts that she is not the "funny fat one" but rather a serious artist to be taken seriously.
