I'm just gonna sit here laid back to this nice mellow beat you know
And drop some smooth lyrics
Cause it's '88
Time to set it straight know what I'm saying And ain't no half stepping Word I'm ready
Rappers stepping to me they want to get some But I'm the Kane so yo you know the outcome Another victory They can't get with me So pick a BC date cause you're history I'm the authentic poet to get lyrical
For you to beat me it's gonna take a miracle And stepping to me yo that's the wrong move So what you on Hobbs **** or dog food Competition I just devour
Like a pit bull against a Chihuahua Cause when it comes to being **** hot damn I got it good now let me tell you who I am The B-I-G D-A-double D-Y K-A-N-E Dramatic Asiatic not like many I'm different so don't compare me to another Cause they can't hang word to the mother At least not with the principal in this pedigree So when I roll on you rappers you better be Ready to die because you're petty You're just a butter knife I'm a machete
Try to front so I can chop into Your body just because you try to be basing Friday the 13th I'mma play Jason No type of joke gag game puzzle or riddle The name is Big Daddy yes Big not little So define it Here's your walking papers sign it And take a walk As the Kane start to talk cause Ain't no half-steppin'
I'm the Big Daddy Kane Ain't no half-steppin'
I'm the Big Daddy Kane Ain't no half-steppin' I'm the Big Daddy Kane
My rhymes are so **** and The rappers be hoping To sound like me so soon I'll have to open A school of emceeing for those who want to be in My field in court Then again on second thought To have emcees coming out sounding so similar
It's quite confusing for you to remember The originator and boy do I hate a Perpetrator but I'm much greater The best oh yes I guess suggest the rest should fess Don't mess or test your highness
Unless you just address with best finesse And bless the paragraph I manifest Rap prime minister some say sinister Non-stopping the groove until when it's the Climax and I max relax and chill Have a break from a take of me acting ill Brain cells are lit ideas start to hit Next the formation of words that fit At the table I sit making it legit And when my pen hits the paper ahh **** I stop and stand strong over emcees And devour with the power of Hercules Or Samson but I go further the length Cause you could scalp my Cameo and I'll still have strength And no that's not a myth and if you try to riff Or get with the man with the given gift of gab Your vocab I'll only ignore Be sleeping on your rhymes till I start to snore You can't awake me or even make me Fear you son cause you can't do me none So think about it if you're trying to go When you want to step to me I think you should know there Ain't no half-steppin'
I'm the Big Daddy Kane Ain't no half-steppin'
I'm the Big Daddy Kane Ain't no half-steppin'
I'm the Big Daddy Kane
I appear right here and scare and dare A mere musketeer that would dare to compare Put him in the rear back there where he can't see clear Get a beer idea or near stare yeah So on to be want to be competition
Trying to step to me--must be on a mission Up on the stage is where I'mma get you at You think I'm losing Psst picture that Ain't no half-steppin'
Ain't no half-steppin'
Ain't no half-steppin'
Ain't no half-steppin'
The name is Big Daddy you know as in your father So when you hear a def rhyme believe that I'm the author I grab the mic and make emcees evaporate The party people say 'Damn that rapper's great' The creator conductor of poetry Et cetera et cetera it ain't easy being me I speak clearly so you can understand Put words together like Letter Man Now that's dictation proceeding to my innovation
Not like the other MC's that are an imitation
Or an animation a cartoon to me But when I'm finished I'm sure that you are soon to see Reality my secret technique Because I always speak with mentality I put my title in your face dare you to base And if you try and come get it yo I'mma show you who's with it So if you know like I know instead of messing around
Play like Roy Rogers and slooow doown Just give yourself a break or someone else will take Your title namely me cause I'm homicidal That means murder cause I'm about to hurt a Nother MC that try to get with me I'll just break him and bake him and rake him And take him and mold him and make him Hold up the peace sign As Salaam Alaikum
