Lyrics:

ah 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 it�'s ‘88
Time to set it straight, knowwhatI�'msaying
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, dope or dog food?
Competition I just devour
Like a pitbull against a Chihuahua
Cause when it comes to being 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, 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 Ginzu, wait until when you
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
(3 times)

My rhymes are so dope and
The rappers be hoping
To sound like me, so soon I�'ll have to open
A school of MCing, for those who want to be in
My field in court
Then again on second thought
To have MC�'s 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 shit!
I stop and stand strong over MC�'s
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 that...


Ain�'t no half-steppin�'
I�'m the Big Daddy Kane
(3 times)

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�'
(3 times)
Mister Cee, step to me...

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 MC�'s 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, who 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...
Assalam Walaikum
