Mm mm mm
Aw yeah
I'm with this
I'm just gonna sit here laid back
to this nice mellow beat you know
and drop some smooth lyrics
'Cause '88
time to set it straight
know what I'm sayin'
And ain't no half-steppin'
Word
I'm ready
Rappers steppin' to me
they wanna get some
But I'm the Kane so yo
you know the outcome
Another victory
they can't get with me
So pick a B.C. date
'cause you are history
I'm the authentic
poet to get lyrical
For you to beat me
it's gonna take a miracle
And steppin' to me
yo that's the wrong move
So what you on Hobbs
dope or dog food
Competition
I just devour
Like a pit bull against a Chihuahua
'Cause when it comes to bein' dope
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
tsk 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
That's made by Ginsu
Wait until when you
try to front
so I can chop into your body
Just because you tried to be basin'
Friday the 13th I'ma 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 walkin' papers
sign it
And take a walk
as the Kane starts 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
Down the road
My rhymes are so dope
and the rappers be hopin'
to sound like me so soon
I'll have to open
a school of emceein'
for those who wanna be in
my field and court
Then again on second thought
To have MCs comin' out
soundin' so similar
it's quite confusin'
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 paragraphs
I manifest
Rap prime minister
some say sinister
Non-stoppin' the groove
until when it's
the climax and I max
relax and chill
Have a break from a take of me
actin' ill
Brain cells are lit
ideas start to hit
Next the formation of
words that fit
At the table I sit
makin' it legit
And when my pen hits the paper
aw shit
I stop and stand strong over MCs
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 sleepin' on your rhymes
'til 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 tryna go
When you wanna step to me
I think you should know that
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
Down down down
Down the road
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 the wannabe competition
Tryin' to step to me
must be on a mission
Up on the stage
is where I'ma get you at
You think I'm losin'
tsk picture that
Ain't no half-steppin'
Ain't no half-steppin'
Ain't no half-steppin'
Ain't no half-steppin'
Mister Cee step to me
Now now now
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 MCs evaporate
The party people say
damn that rapper's great
The creator conductor of poetry
et cetera et cetera
it ain't easy bein' me
I speak clearly so you can understand
Put words together like Letter Man
Now that's dictation
proceedin' to my innovation
Not like the other MCs
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'ma show you who's with it
So if you know like I know
instead of messin' around
play like Roy Rogers and slow down
Just give yourself a break
or someone else will take your title
Namely me because I'm homicidal
That means murder
yes I'm out 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-salamu alaykum
