| [00:03.50] |
Aw Yea I'm with this |
| [00:07.50] |
|
| [00:08.55] |
I'm just gonna sit here laid back to this nice mellow beat you know |
| [00:11.61] |
|
| [00:12.37] |
And drop some smooth lyrics |
| [00:13.61] |
|
| [00:14.27] |
Cause it's '88 |
| [00:14.95] |
|
| [00:15.64] |
Time to set it straight know what I'm saying |
| [00:17.85] |
And ain't no half stepping |
| [00:19.55] |
Word I'm ready |
| [00:20.97] |
|
| [00:21.97] |
Rappers stepping to me they want to get some |
| [00:24.63] |
But I'm the Kane so yo you know the outcome |
| [00:26.96] |
Another victory |
| [00:28.13] |
They can't get with me |
| [00:29.39] |
So pick a BC date cause you're history |
| [00:31.71] |
I'm the authentic poet to get lyrical |
| [00:33.22] |
|
| [00:34.00] |
For you to beat me it's gonna take a miracle |
| [00:36.19] |
And stepping to me yo that's the wrong move |
| [00:38.85] |
So what you on Hobbs dope or dog food |
| [00:41.36] |
Competition I just devour |
| [00:43.01] |
|
| [00:43.74] |
Like a pit bull against a Chihuahua |
| [00:45.84] |
Cause when it comes to being dope hot damn |
| [00:47.96] |
I got it good now let me tell you who I am |
| [00:50.68] |
The B-I-G D-A-double D-Y K-A-N-E |
| [00:52.87] |
Dramatic Asiatic not like many |
| [00:55.27] |
I'm different so don't compare me to another |
| [00:57.65] |
Cause they can't hang word to the mother |
| [01:00.10] |
At least not with the principal in this pedigree |
| [01:02.63] |
So when I roll on you rappers you better be |
| [01:05.04] |
Ready to die because you're petty |
| [01:07.43] |
You're just a butter knife I'm a machete |
| [01:09.64] |
|
| [01:11.50] |
|
| [01:12.08] |
Try to front so I can chop into |
| [01:14.03] |
Your body just because you try to be basing |
| [01:16.92] |
Friday the 13th I'mma play Jason |
| [01:19.37] |
No type of joke gag game puzzle or riddle |
| [01:21.45] |
The name is Big Daddy yes Big not little |
| [01:23.28] |
So define it |
| [01:24.49] |
Here's your walking papers sign it |
| [01:26.21] |
And take a walk |
| [01:27.21] |
As the Kane start to talk cause |
| [01:29.02] |
Ain't no half-steppin' |
| [01:30.42] |
|
| [01:30.94] |
I'm the Big Daddy Kane |
| [01:33.32] |
Ain't no half-steppin' |
| [01:35.40] |
|
| [01:35.98] |
I'm the Big Daddy Kane |
| [01:38.03] |
Ain't no half-steppin' |
| [01:40.45] |
I'm the Big Daddy Kane |
| [01:42.88] |
|
| [01:47.54] |
My rhymes are so dope and |
| [01:48.67] |
The rappers be hoping |
| [01:49.88] |
To sound like me so soon I'll have to open |
| [01:52.33] |
A school of emceeing for those who want to be in |
| [01:54.71] |
My field in court |
| [01:55.60] |
Then again on second thought |
| [01:57.06] |
To have emcees coming out sounding so similar |
| [01:58.88] |
|
| [01:59.41] |
It's quite confusing for you to remember |
| [02:01.76] |
The originator and boy do I hate a |
| [02:04.24] |
Perpetrator but I'm much greater |
| [02:06.58] |
The best oh yes I guess suggest the rest should fess |
| [02:09.19] |
Don't mess or test your highness |
| [02:10.68] |
|
| [02:11.35] |
Unless you just address with best finesse |
| [02:13.80] |
And bless the paragraph I manifest |
| [02:16.26] |
Rap prime minister some say sinister |
| [02:18.88] |
Non-stopping the groove until when it's the |
| [02:20.77] |
Climax and I max relax and chill |
| [02:23.16] |
Have a break from a take of me acting ill |
| [02:25.56] |
Brain cells are lit ideas start to hit |
| [02:27.93] |
Next the formation of words that fit |
| [02:30.30] |
At the table I sit making it legit |
| [02:32.58] |
And when my pen hits the paper ahh shit |
| [02:35.43] |
I stop and stand strong over emcees |
| [02:37.44] |
And devour with the power of Hercules |
| [02:39.88] |
Or Samson but I go further the length |
| [02:42.27] |
Cause you could scalp my Cameo and I'll still have strength |
| [02:44.69] |
And no that's not a myth and if you try to riff |
| [02:47.11] |
Or get with the man with the given gift of gab |
| [02:49.56] |
Your vocab I'll only ignore |
| [02:51.76] |
Be sleeping on your rhymes till I start to snore |
| [02:54.35] |
You can't awake me or even make me |
| [02:56.80] |
Fear you son cause you can't do me none |
| [02:58.88] |
So think about it if you're trying to go |
| [03:01.33] |
When you want to step to me I think you should know there |
| [03:03.93] |
Ain't no half-steppin' |
| [03:05.84] |
|
| [03:06.75] |
I'm the Big Daddy Kane |
| [03:08.43] |
Ain't no half-steppin' |
| [03:10.52] |
|
| [03:11.14] |
I'm the Big Daddy Kane |
| [03:13.22] |
Ain't no half-steppin' |
| [03:15.22] |
|
| [03:16.27] |
I'm the Big Daddy Kane |
| [03:17.54] |
|
| [03:22.61] |
I appear right here and scare and dare |
| [03:24.55] |
A mere musketeer that would dare to compare |
| [03:26.57] |
Put him in the rear back there where he can't see clear |
| [03:29.35] |
Get a beer idea or near stare yeah |
| [03:32.18] |
So on to be want to be competition |
| [03:33.69] |
|
| [03:34.55] |
Trying to step to me--must be on a mission |
| [03:37.14] |
Up on the stage is where I'mma get you at |
| [03:39.75] |
You think I'm losing |
| [03:40.87] |
Psst picture that |
| [03:42.06] |
Ain't no half-steppin' |
| [03:43.88] |
|
| [03:46.48] |
Ain't no half-steppin' |
| [03:48.82] |
|
| [03:51.25] |
Ain't no half-steppin' |
| [03:53.21] |
|
| [03:56.01] |
Ain't no half-steppin' |
| [03:58.20] |
|
| [04:19.97] |
The name is Big Daddy you know as in your father |
| [04:22.38] |
So when you hear a def rhyme believe that I'm the author |
| [04:24.95] |
I grab the mic and make emcees evaporate |
| [04:27.35] |
The party people say 'Damn that rapper's great' |
| [04:29.81] |
The creator conductor of poetry |
| [04:31.86] |
Et cetera et cetera it ain't easy being me |
| [04:34.46] |
I speak clearly so you can understand |
| [04:36.74] |
Put words together like Letter Man |
| [04:38.60] |
Now that's dictation proceeding to my innovation |
| [04:40.90] |
|
| [04:41.48] |
Not like the other MC's that are an imitation |
| [04:43.55] |
|
| [04:44.06] |
Or an animation a cartoon to me |
| [04:46.17] |
But when I'm finished I'm sure that you are soon to see |
| [04:48.64] |
Reality my secret technique |
| [04:50.59] |
Because I always speak with mentality |
| [04:52.90] |
I put my title in your face dare you to base |
| [04:55.42] |
And if you try and come get it yo I'mma show you who's with it |
| [04:57.91] |
So if you know like I know instead of messing around |
| [04:59.97] |
|
| [05:00.48] |
Play like Roy Rogers and slooow doown |
| [05:02.87] |
Just give yourself a break or someone else will take |
| [05:05.02] |
Your title namely me cause I'm homicidal |
| [05:07.88] |
That means murder cause I'm about to hurt a |
| [05:09.95] |
Nother MC that try to get with me |
| [05:12.02] |
I'll just break him and bake him and rake him |
| [05:13.50] |
And take him and mold him and make him |
| [05:14.90] |
Hold up the peace sign |
| [05:15.97] |
As Salaam Alaikum |
