Title
- Party people in the place
- Embrace the bass as I commence to pick up the pace
- And make you motivate, and accelerate
- Cause like Tony the Tiger, IÂ’m greeeat!
- Always seem to come off, hard for you somehow
- I mean me being wack, oh come come now
- ThatÂ’s quite ridiculous, so just admit you was
- Thrilled, itÂ’s on your face, and itÂ’s conspicuous
- Not that youÂ’re on this, but my performance
- Is rather exquisite, so hard is it
- Or supremacy, thatÂ’s the perfect definition
- But rappers keep wishing to be in my position
- Know good and damn well they ainÂ’t no competition
- Huh, I gotta give it to you kid, thatÂ’s ambition
- For you to perpetrate the role of me, the Big Daddy
- The Big Father, naah, donÂ’t even bother
- Cause that would mean you would have to teach
- Each and every one idiotic son
- Trying to make it, you canÂ’t fake it
- The rhymes I recite are fully dressed and yours are butt naked
- Your speech is weak, while my mine stands strong
- So, all hail the man thatÂ’s here to live long
- You know you heard this voice before somewhere
- And when I said that I’m the Kane, you said “oh yeah!?That brother that used to rhyme on stage with Biz
- Oh heÂ’s def,?you know what time it is
- But this time IÂ’m not assisted on the microphone
- More like Patti Labelle, on my own
- Just single-handed, the mic I commanded
- Phony MCÂ’s donÂ’t understand it, and it
- Is the real thing like the taste of Coke
- So never sleep on me, better stay awoke
- Like a gambler in Vegas, I go for broke
- To make a long story short, yo I ainÂ’t no joke
- I take time and care in whatever IÂ’m doing
- And when I rock a party, I make sure that you en-
- Joy what youÂ’re hearing as I entertain
- So hip hip hoolay, long live the Kane
- I got the freedom of speech to use it anyway that I choose it
- So all hail to the music
- On exhibit, get with it, now hereÂ’s my ring
- The original supreme being Black man
- Point blank, the cream to rise supreme
- As those go below like a submarine
- Reaching and teaching a lesson that IÂ’m giving
- Addressing and impressing the crowd, so how we living?
- Fine in mind, to decline is out of line
- So pardon this brother as I give you mine
- To say IÂ’m not, donÂ’t even diss yourself
- Cause at times, I have to jump back and kiss myself
- Long live the K, the A, the N, the E
- I say the end will be
- A big movement, by the time IÂ’m through
- And thatÂ’s coming from a Black manÂ’s point of view
- Now pardon me for just changing the issue
- But all you sucker MCÂ’s, itÂ’s a must that I diss you
- The way yÂ’all be fronting has made me disgusted
- Now IÂ’mma set you straight, so so yo yo, bust it
- Rappers try and hang and just swear that they can party
- But the style that IÂ’m using is just like karate
- So if we ever battle youÂ’re bound to be through
- Because I got a black belt in Rap Can Do
- No IÂ’m not Chinese, itÂ’s just rhymes like these
- That destroy an MC with black belt degrees
- YouÂ’re rocking a party, trying so hard to get loose
- Kid sound awiiite, but I canÂ’t taste the juice
- Therefore, the job is left to me
- So I get the party kicking just like Bruce Lee
- But I wonÂ’t stop there, I still rock a little harder
- While the toy MCÂ’s step and say, Sayonara!
- Long Live the Kane! (x2)
- Break it down!
- Since the far-off days when man first heard a scratchy noise
- On a cylindrical drum accompanied by staccato human tones,
- It has been his aim to add breadth and depth, to give realism,
- And spaciousness, and, even where it applies, to convey actual movement>
- Intro: I start to go, my rhymesÂ’ll flow
- So, get up and dance cause Kane said so
- If you were lounging around itÂ’s time to get up
- Pardon my expression, but IÂ’mma tear shit up
- I appear right here, and scare and dare, a mere musketeer
- That would dare to compare, I do declare
- Getting busy is where itÂ’s at
- But what youÂ’re saying, you wouldnÂ’t get a point for that
- Cause youÂ’re a featherweight, and your rhymes you carry light
- But I drop bass just like Barry White
- So how could you think that you pose a threat?
- You say youÂ’re rocking, how many shows you get?
- All your vocals go local on the M-I-C
- Mines go a great distance, like AT&T
- IÂ’m now new to this, IÂ’m true to this, nothing you can do to this
- Fuck around with Kane and come out black and blue for this
- So, yo, go for what you know
- Attempt to debate so I can humiliate
- We can go rhyme for rhyme, word for word, verse for verse
- Get you a nurse, too late, get you a hearse
- To take you to your burial ground
- Because the Big Daddy Kane always throws down
- Correct, I get respect, IÂ’m out to collect
- Cash money, cause I get raw
- Everybody get up! (x4)
- Kane: boy do I hate a...
- IÂ’m coming! (x5)
- Here I am, R-A-W
- A terrorist, here to bring trouble to
- Phony MCÂ’s, I move on and seize
- I just conquer and stomp another rapper with ease
- Cause IÂ’m at my apex and others are below
- Nothing but a milliliter, IÂ’m a kilo
- Second to none, making MCÂ’s run
- So donÂ’t try to step to me, cause I ainÂ’t the one
- I relieve rappers just like Tylenol
- And they know it, so I donÂ’t see why you all
- Try to front, perpetrating a stunt
- When you know that IÂ’ll smoke you up like a blunt
- IÂ’m genuine like Gucci, raw like sushi
- To stage a rage is what rap did to me
- To make me want to create chaos and mayhem
- Cold rock a party until the A.M.
- IÂ’ll make a muscle, grab the mic and hustle
- While you stand dazed and amazed, I bust a
- Little rhyme with authority, superiority
- And captivate the whole crowdÂ’s majority
- The rhymes I use definitely amuse
- Better than Dynasty, or Hill Street Blues
- IÂ’m sure to score adored for more without a flaw
- Cause I get raw
- Everybody get up! (x5)
- With speech like a reverend, rappers start severing
- And in my lifetime, believe IÂ’ve never been
- Beaten, or eaten and just tooken out
- You know, come to think about it, I keep MCÂ’s looking out
- And real nervous when IÂ’m at your service
- Give me that title, boy, you donÂ’t deserve this
- I work like a slave to become a master
- And when I say a rhyme, you that it has to
- Be perfectly fitted, cause IÂ’m committed
- The entertainer and trainer and KaneÂ’ll get with it
- I go and flow and grow to let you know
- I damage ya IÂ’m not an amateur but a pro-
- Fessional a questional without doubt superb
- So full of action, my name should be a verb
- My voice will float on every note
- When I clear my throat, thatÂ’s all she wrote!
- The minute that the Kane starts to go on
- Believe itÂ’s gonna be smooth sailing so on
- As I put other rappers out of their misery
- Get them in a battle and make them all history
- Ruling and schooling MCÂ’s that IÂ’m dueling
- Watch them all take a fall as I sit back cooling
- On my throne, with a bronze microphone
- Hmm, God bless the child that can hold his own
- Cause I get raw
- AinÂ’t it good to you? (x3)
- Documentary: hereÂ’s an experiment to begin with...
- Twenty-four sev chilling, killing like a villain
- The meaning of raw is Ready And Willing
- To do whatever is clever, take a loss, never
- And the rhymes I bust, coming off is a must
- And I come off hard with rhymes that are odd
- I rip the microphone and leave it scarred
- Never smoking or hitting or taking a sniff
- Only crushing MCÂ’s that be trying to riff
- I get strong and titanic, do work like a mechanic
- Make MCÂ’s panic, they all get frantic
- And skeptic, like a girl on a contraceptive
- As I rock but hey, what you expected?
- IÂ’ll get raw for you just like a warrior
- Rapping like a samurai and IÂ’ll be damned if I
- Ever let a Fisher-Price MC hang
- Their rhymes are toy, nothing but yin-yang
- So if we battle on the microphone
- Bring your own casket and tombstone
- And IÂ’mma preach your funeral
- Tell me who in the world
- Could ever come with more
- I get raw
- Verse 1
- Let it roll, get bold, I just can't hold
- Back, or fold cos I'm a man with soul
- In control and effect, so what the heck
- Rock the discotheques and this groove is what's next
- Attack, react, exact, the mack'll move you with
- A strong song, as long as you groove to this
- I keep the crowd loud when you're hype
- Do damage onstage and injure the mic
- As I shoot the gift MC's stand stiff
- While my rhymes stick to you like Skippy and Jif
- Feel my blood fist, or my death kiss
- The rap soloist, you don't want none of this
- Supreme in this era, I reign with terror
- When I grab the mic believe you're gonna hear a
- Fascinatin' rhyme as I enchant them
- So let's all sing the Big Daddy anthem
- Go with the flow, my rhymes grow like an afro
- I entertain again and Kane'll never have no
- Problem, I can sneeze, sniffle and cough
- E-e-e-even if I stutter Imma still come off
- Cos rappers can't understand the mics I rip
- They sure enough ain't equipped, that's why they got flipped
- But my apparatus is up to status
- Don't ask who's the baddest, of course that is
- The maker, breaker, taker, my rhymes ache the head
- Put it to bed, so watch what is said
- Save the bass for the pipe and rearrange your tone
- Or take a loss and be forced in the danger zone
- Cos I get ill and kill at will
- Teachin' a skill that's real, you're no thrill
- So just stand still and chill as I build
- Science I drill until my rhymes fill
- Your head up...don't even get up
- The teacher is teachin', so just shut up
- Verse 2
- Rappers, take a step back, or you will soon regret that
- You ever had to confront me and you can bet that
- I come correct, perfect, in full effect
- Disconnect, dissect, eject as I wreck shop
- Stand in command with the clan
- Caravan or van, we go man for man and
- Without further ado or any delay
- Mister Cee as we say, call him the DJ
- Mad Money Murf with the triple M
- Smooth the barber keepin' my flat-top trim
- Scoob Lover my brother, Scrap Lover my other
- Dancin' with the crew so allow the boys to smother
- The floor, and endure just for your pleasure
- As the microphone lord proceeds to get raw
- Acrobatic, Asiatic, rap fanatic
- I get dramatic and rhymes start flowin' automatically
- From me, so don't play me, obey me
- When asked ";Who's the best?";, you better say me
- I'm sendin' sucker MC's headin' north
- And if you still want some...set if off
- For you to cope is just a wish and a hope
- And if you are what you eat they're feedin' me dope
- Cos I'm just about as dope as dope can get
- Ultimate, legit, Kane is a perfect fit
- The king of my kingdom, completin' a cipher
- The lyrics I bring them keeps the crowd hyper
- As I release the masterpiece
- The groove will never cease until Kane says ";Peace";
- So, maestro, yo, hit it
- Big Daddy Kane's about to come with it, cos...
- [I can't hold it back...]
- Talk about ever meeting Ms. Right
- But one thing I know is this girl is hype
- Not a crab I see but such a lovely female
- And if looks could kill, she would be in jail
- For raving all over with exotic beauty
- And to captivate her love is my only duty
- There's not a single feature that this girl lacks
- Sweetheart, you're my aphrodisiac
- You've got me waiting for you day by day
- Fantasies of you has got me drifting away
- And I know, a love like yours would be so hard to find
- So I'll just keep on waiting for the day you're mine
- Now I've talked to young girls and sophisticated ladies
- But I swear my dear, none appear on your level baby
- Maybe, it's just me imagining
- Then again, I probably just haven't been
- With the right female and in detail
- I'll probably never will be, girl if we fail
- Cause every time I appear to be pleased
- You know what happens?
- I just get skeezed
- The girl that I admire, one that I desire
- And no one can stop the feelings that you inspire
- The way that you leave me in this obsession
- With the chambers of my heart in your possession
- We were meant to be together, always and forever
- For that engagement, I shall endeavor
- Pray for the day that we combine
- And I can say for sure that you're truly mine
- In benevolence and reverence
- As soon as our relationship commence
- But for now, I wait impatiently
- For the day that you can give your all to me
- The moment of truth is what I really should call it
- I worked so hard for it so please don't spoil it
- Yeah it's a lot that I'm asking you to give me
- That's only because I need you with me
- Side by side, hand in hand
- You as my girl and Kane as your man
- Bust it, ever since the first time that I seen her
- I wanted her to step inside my arena
- I'd be the champion of love, wear the golden glove
- And show you what a real man is made of
- My feelings I'm sharing because I'm caring
- My heart'll tell you why I am so endearing
- For a chance at romance I would love to enhance
- I would be your man under any circumstance
- Just as long as I can say that you're my own
- Your feelings for me and mine alone
- We can cherish every moment of the time we spent
- Try to take our love to the full extent
- The point that I'm trying so hard to get through
- Is girl, I'm in love with you
- A dramatic fanatic for our relation
- Cupid has me stupid with infatuation
- And a fashion of passion so tenderly
- With vibes I can't describe you send to me
- This personal attachment in which I feel
- To you my dear, I will try to reveal
- All over and over, I'll try and try
- Because to see you with the next man makes me cry
- I feel that I should be the only man to side you
- Cause no one can love you the way that I do
- No one deserve the love you can give
- So allow me to show you how I'm out to live
- With something very special, palliative and pure
- And anything that you want, I can give you more
- I'll be calm and gentle, loving and sentimental
- Oh so much emotion, I'm talking devotion
- Cause when I get involved, I get involved so deep
- That you would know that my love is something special to keep
- But for now, I guess I'll be fine
- And keep waiting for the day that you'll be mine
- Yo, on the M-I-C right about now, I go by the name of Big Daddy Kane. I got my
- man Scoob Lover on the side of me, DJ Mister Cee on the wheels of steel, Dre on
- the film and Marley on the boards. We gonna do a little something like this:
- [Big Daddy:]
- Some like it hard and some like it soft,
- yo, bust the groove as I set it off.
- [Scoob:]
- But wait a minute...
- ...yo Scoob, what's up?
- Pardon me a moment as I interrupt.
- For what?
- For this:
- [both singing]
- You like the stylish clothes we wear,
- and you like our flat-top style of hair.
- It's just those bugged out things we do
- that make the girles wanna stare.
- Like when we're chillin' with the crew.
- Or drinkin' that Old English brew.
- (both) Straight from the bottle not the cup,
- And it gets us more than just fucked uuuuup...
- And I like it yall..
- ..like it yall...
- like it yall...
- ...like it yall.
- Scoob Lover, won't you hype it yall?
- Well, I'm the S-C double-O B-L-O-V-E-R- uh.
- Ladies come to me, I'll be your midnight horror.
- Need a flat top? Come to Scoob, I'm the barber.
- Of Da Ville.
- And that's right.
- Try to step to us, watch what you get,
- Cuz me and Big Daddy's not havin' it.
- Well, it's the Big Daddy, so all hail.
- Save your wack rhymes, hold your female.
- Pass the Old Gold, trash the ale,
- cash your food stamps, get the WIC out the mail.
- Love to eat shrimps, but I never eat snail.
- Eat a whole fish except for the tail.
- Keep food in the fridge so it don't get stale,
- and when there's nothing to eat, I bite my nails.
- So Scoob Lover, you know your rhymes are kickin',
- get on the mic, cuz you know you eat chicken.
- Now-now-now, I'm-a place a order for a Scooby snack,
- Not at the Chinese restaurant becuse I don't eat cats.
- Now who in the world can ever eat these?
- When I'm at home, I chow down with ease,
- and say ";More beef sausage, mom, please?";
- That's right, Mommy Dukes, she feeds me swell.
- Coffee on the table, orange juice as well.
- Some of the things I say are outspoken,
- guaranteed to have you chokin'.
- Bitin' MCs are the one I'm yokin'.
- Kane, I'm outta here, I guess I'll use my token.
- I'll walk through the gate if the turnstile's broken.
- Big Daddy, if you're down with me,
- get on the mic on the count of three;
- One, two, three...
- Now I'm a black brother that's out to succeed,
- so step aside as I take the lead.
- Sexy young ladies of a light-skinned breed.
- *You got-you got-you got what I need!*
- Outstanding, kind, cool and loyal.
- Drove all the way to Maco just to change my oil.
- Cuz I'm the only child, you might think I'm spoiled.
- Touch the young ladies make their blood pressure boil.
- I got the ...hmm...hiccups, excuse me, sorry.
- Score a 100 Gs every time I play Atari.
- Put a hole in the Old Gold, blast the Bacardi.
- On the dance floor, hype moves I be freakin'.
- Makin' new steps up every single weekend.
- Not Abbot and Costello or Laurel and Hardy,
- I'm only here to PAR-TY!
- Yo, check it out, check it out. Turn the music down, turn the music down.
- turn the music down...here we go (here we go)...
- We gonna end it like this in the place yall.
- It's like this yall, and you don't stop.
- Now, the name Kane is superior to many people;
- it means King Asiatic Nobody's Equal.
- I hate to brag, but damn I'm good!
- And if mics were a gun, I'd be Clint Eastwood.
- And if rap was a game, I'd be MVP:
- Most Valuable Poet on the M-I-C.
- And if rap was a school, I'd be the principal.
- Aw fuck it, the Kane is invincible.
- To be specific, I may die one day
- but my rhymes will remain like a heiroglyphic.
- It's a certain special skill, that takes much practice.
- I got it good; apparently you lack this.
- So in turn, sit back and learn,
- listen close, this is for your own concern.
- Let me show ya, exactly how it's properly done:
- Lights, Camera, Action! [laughter]
- IÂ’m with this
- IÂ’m just gonna sit here laid back to this nice mellow beat, you know
- And drop some smooth lyrics
- Cause itÂ’s ?8
- Time to set it straight, knowwhatIÂ’msaying
- And ainÂ’t no half stepping
- Word
- IÂ’m ready>
- Rappers stepping to me they want to get some
- But IÂ’m the Kane, so yo, you know the outcome
- Another victory
- They canÂ’t get with me
- So pick a BC date cause youÂ’re history
- IÂ’m the authentic poet to get lyrical
- For you to beat me, itÂ’s gonna take a miracle
- And, stepping to me, yo thatÂ’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
- IÂ’m different, so donÂ’t compare me to another
- Cause they canÂ’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 youÂ’re petty
- YouÂ’re just a butter knife, IÂ’m a machete
- ThatÂ’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, IÂ’mma play Jason
- No type of joke, gag, game, puzzle or riddle
- The name is Big Daddy, yes Big not little
- So define it
- HereÂ’s your walking papers, sign it
- And take a walk
- As the Kane start to talk, cause...
- AinÂ’t no half-steppin?
- IÂ’m the Big Daddy Kane
- (3 times)
- My rhymes are so dope and
- The rappers be hoping
- To sound like me, so soon IÂ’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 MCÂ’s coming out sounding so similar
- ItÂ’s quite confusing for you to remember
- The originator, and boy do I hate a
- Perpetrator, but IÂ’m much greater
- The best oh yes I guess suggest the rest should fess
- DonÂ’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 itÂ’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 MCÂ’s
- And devour with the power of Hercules
- Or Samson, but I go further the length
- Cause you could scalp my cameo and IÂ’ll still have strength
- And no, thatÂ’s not a myth, and if you try to riff
- Or get with, the man with the given gift of gab
- Your vocab, IÂ’ll only ignore
- Be sleeping on your rhymes till I start to snore
- You canÂ’t awake me, or even make me
- Fear you, son, cause you canÂ’t do me none
- So, think about it if youÂ’re trying to go
- When you want to step to me, I think you should know that...
- AinÂ’t no half-steppin?
- IÂ’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 canÂ’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 IÂ’mma get you at
- You think IÂ’m losing?
- Psst, picture that...
- AinÂ’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 IÂ’m the author
- I grab the mic and make MCÂ’s evaporate
- The party people say, damn...that rapperÂ’s great
- The creator conductor of poetry
- Et cetera, et cetera, it ainÂ’t easy being me
- I speak clearly so you can understand
- Put words together like letter, man
- Now thatÂ’s dictation, proceeding to my innovation
- Not like the other MCÂ’s, who are an imitation
- Or an animation, a cartoon to me
- But when IÂ’m finished, IÂ’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 IÂ’mma show you whoÂ’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 IÂ’m homicidal
- That means murder, cause IÂ’m about to hurt a-
- Nother MC, that try to get with me
- IÂ’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!
- Hear ye, hear ye, from far and near
- The one they call the Big Daddy Kane is here
- To deliver a message to everyone everywhere
- So listen up party people cause this you should hear
- It's a story of a far-away atmosphere
- That you will find very rare and far beyond compare
- All is sincere and rather debonair
- So let's all gather around, because...
- (x4)
- Off to a place you thought was unreal
- Where people of the world do know how to chill
- Everything remains cool and calm where you are
- And if you ask about crime, they all'll say,
- They wouldn't even know what you mean
- Cause it's a different program, y'all know the routine
- Where people work hard for a decent buck
- And you can wear truck jewelry without being stuck
- Never wondering whether your house is all right
- So go leave your VCR on the porch overnight
- And as for the people they all stand proud
- Senior citizens party with the hip-hop crowd
- You can hang at a jam till the break of dawn
- And leave without your Bally shoes getting stepped on
- Everyone walks around in their right mind and all
- Because crack ain't nothing but a hole in the wall
- So those who wish to live with glare and flair
- There's a place that this can be done, and yo...
- (x4)
- What I discovered may just only seem
- As something that you find in your wildest dream
- But! on the real tip, you will see
- I'm not playing, what I'm saying is reality
- There is a place people live with joy
- That the next man cannot come along and destroy
- No one faces problems, no one says sorry
- And war ain't nothing but a game on Atari
- This message also applies to other nations
- Like Africa for instance, where there's starvation
- But if you come with me, you're sure to see
- Ethiopians can eat in Red Lobster for free
- And people that you saw before that were poor
- Will never ever see the situation no more
- Cause in this world everyone's a millionaire
- Are you sick?
- And what the hell is welfare?
- Fashions are smashing for all to flaunt
- And we can get anything that we want
- So don't think you can't afford expensive design
- Because fresh Gucci wear is only $5.99
- So come ye all and attend this affair
- As we journey to the promised land, and...
- (x3)
- Since I'm the type of guy that laughs and jokes
- This may sound funny, but seriously folks
- It's a shame that people today must live
- In a world that's operating oh so negative
- But I found a place designed especially for you
- Where peace and harmony is everyone's culture
- So let's all gather around before this world corrupts
- And we don't even need Scotty to beam us up
- Because...
- (x4)
- (x9)
- (x4)
- Biz:
- Ready?
- Fonkee!
- Fonkee! Ahhh...
- One two, one two
- We came here to just motherfucking do
- You and a crew
- Got my man Marley Marl in the house
- CanÂ’t forget my man, Lik, yÂ’all in the house
- Got Fric and Frac in the house
- Hey-hey-hey, you got Big Daddy Kane in the house
- Juice Crew in the house
- ThatÂ’s right
- And my name is the Biz Markie
- And we gonna rock a little something like this...>
- One, two, whatcha gonna do?
- I say yes, yes yÂ’all
- To the beat, all
- Party-having people guaranteed to be like having a ball
- H-h-h-hey
- We gonna do a little something like this I say...
- IÂ’m the rap promoter
- I start to motor
- Tour from New York to South Dakota
- Drink ginger ale or root beer soda
- Never get the girls with the underarm order
- Put me on water, IÂ’m a good floater
- When I run for prez, you best be a voter
- Once knew a girl by the name of Rhoda
- I watch Star Wars just to see Yoda
- Or R2-D2 driving down the BQ
- When I buy franks, I make sure theyÂ’re Hebrew
- When I entertain, and love to treat you
- Love to see a girl in a nice tight see-through
- Take her to the crib, turn on the Beta
- Watch a good flick by Arnold Schwartzenegger
- Maybe Commando or the Terminator
- Peace party people, ha ha see you later!
- Big Daddy, huh huh, my man my mellow
- Get on the mic cause you know you eat Jell-O
- Kane:
- Check it out, yÂ’all
- You donÂ’t stop
- Keep on
- Well itÂ’s the Kane in the flesh
- Of course IÂ’m fresh
- Oh you thought that I was rotten?
- Huh, I beg your pardon
- To me getting paid and getting busy fall together
- So a man of my ambiance...never!
- Could I be weak, why IÂ’m rather unique
- I got style, flavor, grace, and plus a different technique
- That I be using and not many can manage
- So a brother like me, I do damage
- Just by picking up the mic to go solo
- I cold turn a party on out, and oh yo
- I get physical, mystical, very artistical
- Giving party people something funky to listen to
- ThatÂ’s why the other MCÂ’s canÂ’t swing long
- I stomp them out just like I was King Kong
- Stepping on roaches, I get ferocious
- Supercalifragalisticexpealidocious
- I go on and on and on and
- Until the bright Shirley Murdock morning
- Cause IÂ’mma pimp, hear the primp, yes the emp-
- Eror, bringing much terror in your era
- I ready, willing and IÂ’m able, so bust a move
- Never use a barbershop I got my homeboy Smooth
- Cooling out with the clippers right around the way
- To keep my fresh Cameo cut every day
- Like that yÂ’all, itÂ’s like that yÂ’all
- ItÂ’s like thata-the-that, itÂ’s like that yÂ’all
- Cause IÂ’m the prosecutor taking a stand
- And, IÂ’m cross-examining you my man
- The judge and jury, releasing my fury
- The verdict that I reach for you is rather blurry
- You see, the name Kane is superior to many people
- It means King Asiatic NobodyÂ’s Equal
- I hate to brag, but damn IÂ’m good
- And if mics were a gun, IÂ’d be Clint Eastwood
- And if rap was a game, IÂ’d be MVP
- Most Valuable Poet on the M-I-C
- Or if rap was a school, IÂ’d be the principal
- Aw fuck it, the Kane is invincible
- To be specific, I may die one day
- But my rhymes will remain like a hieroglyphic
- ItÂ’s a certain special skill that takes much practice
- I got it good, apparently you lack this
- So in turn, sit back and learn
- Listen close, this is for your own concern
- Let me show you exactly how itÂ’s properly done
- Lights, camera, action!
- A rap pro, do a show, good to go, also
- Cameo afro, Virgo, domino, I go Rambo
- Gigolo, Romeo, Friday night spend money on a ho-
- Tel, to get a good nightÂ’s sleep
- IÂ’m keeping in step
- Now do I come off?
- Yep.

- Nigga dissed me!
- Grab a hold of yourself, open your eyes
- Get wise to the exercise
- Being taught by the teacher that’s most dominant
- You need knowledge?
- Well I’m dropping it
- Listen to the rap allow it to trap
- Your body and soul so that you can adapt
- To the man on display as I take you away
- So may I?
- (Yes you may!)
- Proud to be a Black man
- Coming exact and
- Giving up to brothers five on the back hand
- Pray for lease and peace upon each other
- With my sisters and brothers
- ([Marley Marl:]yo, word to the mother!)
- I say the mother, as in the motherland
- But on the other hand, another man
- Tackled and shackled our ancestors
- But we beat him with freedom, so let’s bless the
- Country that we all came from
- Because the moral of it all is we shall overcome
- The cream will keep rising
- We be sizing
- Up, the Asiatic one is enterprising
- Building and building to carry on
- All the way from Malcolm X to Farrakhan
- Martin Luther was a tutor, many were pupils
- Those who fell victim were those without scruples
- However, to sever, we could never
- So hold up the peace sign and stand together
- Take heed to the words that I manifest
- And when I’m through speaking, Marley Marl’ll do the rest
- [Break]
- [James Brown getting cut up:]
- People, people
- We gotta get over, before we go under[x2]
- Let’s get together[x2]
- [Marley Marl:]
- Yo Big Daddy, what you gonna say now?
- Take a stand the fight for power
- Cause we’ve been here before the Mayflower
- Living superior abiding by nature
- The history of the Asiatic one paid the
- Price to be paid in slavery
- Like the name of Antonio was gave to me
- But knowledge of self broke every shackle and chain
- Now I declare myself as the Big Daddy Kane
- The teacher, teaching a lesson to be heard
- That’s word, to the mother my brother
- So discover the truth of one another
- Cause here’s the real deal upon our skin color
- Lay down white, yellow, red or pink
- But the color of black is most dominant
- The rising and sizing can never cease
- [Marley Marl:]what you going say now?
- Peace!
- [Farrakhan:]...the mother of all living things and the Black man
- is the original man, we just can’t escape our destiny
- Word to the mother![x2]
- [Farrakhan:]I thank Allah for allowing me to teach this subject today
- Crowd: yeah, that’s right...
