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]That's made by Ginsu wait until when you [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 d**e 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 sh*t [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
