Ain't No Half-Steppin'

[00:20.19] Rappers stepping to me they want to get some

[00:23.69] But I'm the Kane, so yo, you know the outcome

[00:26.17] Another victory

[00:27.42] They can't get with me

[00:28.70] So pick a BC date cause you're history

[00:30.93] I'm the authentic poet to get lyrical

[00:33.44] For you to beat me, it's gonna take a miracle

[00:35.68] And, stepping to me, yo that's the wrong move

[00:37.94] So what you on, Hobbs, dope or dog food?

[00:40.44] Competition I just devour

[00:42.68] Like a pitbull against a Chihuahua

[00:45.17] Cause when it comes to being dope, hot damn

[00:47.46] I got it good, now let me tell you who I am

[00:49.92] The be -I-G D-A-double D-why K-A-N-E

[00:52.45] Dramatic, Asiatic, not like many

[00:54.70] I'm different, so don't compare me to another

[00:56.94] Cause they can't hang, word to the mother

[00:59.42] At least not with the principal in this pedigree

[01:01.68] So when I roll on you rappers, you better be

[01:04.17] Ready to die because you're petty

[01:06.69] You're just a butter knife, I'm a machete

[01:08.95] That's made by Ginzu, wait until when you

[01:10.94] Try to front, so I can chop into

[01:13.69] Your body, just because you try to be basing

[01:15.68] Friday the 13th, I'mma play Jason

[01:18.42] No type of joke, gag, game, puzzle or riddle

[01:20.67] The name is Big Daddy, yes Big not little

[01:23.19] So define it

[01:24.19] Here's your walking papers, sign it

[01:25.69] And take a walk

[01:26.70] As the Kane start to talk, 'cause

[01:28.19] Ain't no half-steppin'

[01:30.45] I'm the Big Daddy Kane

[01:32.68] Ain't no half-steppin'

[01:35.45] I'm the Big Daddy Kane

[01:37.67] Ain't no half-steppin'

[01:39.94] I'm the Big Daddy Kane

[01:42.70] My rhymes are so dope and

[01:47.94] The rappers be hoping

[01:49.44] To sound like me, so soon I'll have to open

[01:51.69] A school of MCing, for those who want to be in

[01:54.18] My field in court

[01:55.44] Then again on second thought

[01:56.66] To have MC's coming out sounding so similar

[01:58.71] It's quite confusing for you to remember

[02:01.19] The originator, and boy do I hate a

[02:03.70] Perpetrator, but I'm much greater

[02:05.94] The best oh yes I guess suggest the rest should fess

[02:08.69] Don't mess or test your highness

[02:10.94] Unless you just address with best finesse

[02:12.94] And bless the paragraph I manifest

[02:15.45] Rap prime minister, some say sinister

[02:17.92] Non-stopping the groove, until when it's the

[02:20.19] Climax, and I max, relax and chill

[02:22.70] Have a break from a take of me acting ill

[02:24.68] Brain cells are lit, ideas start to hit

[02:27.16] Next the formation of words that fit

[02:29.69] At the table I sit, making it legit

[02:31.92] And when my pen hits the paper, ahh shit!

[02:34.71] I stop and stand strong over MC's

[02:36.93] And devour with the power of Hercules

[02:39.19] Or Samson, but I go further the length

[02:41.70] Cause you could scalp my cameo and I'll still have strength

[02:43.92] And no, that's not a myth, and if you try to riff

[02:46.42] Or get with, the man with the given gift of gab

[02:49.44] Your vocab, I'll only ignore

[02:51.19] Be sleeping on your rhymes till I start to snore

[02:53.42] You can't awake me, or even make me

[02:56.45] Fear you, son, cause you can't do me none

[02:58.44] So, think about it if you're trying to go

[03:00.68] When you want to step to me, I think you should know that

[03:03.45] Ain't no half-steppin'

[03:06.68] I'm the Big Daddy Kane

[03:08.20] Ain't no half-steppin'

[03:10.95] I'm the Big Daddy Kane

[03:12.94] Ain't no half-steppin'

[03:15.45] I'm the Big Daddy Kane

[03:19.68] I appear right here and scare and dare

[03:23.93] A mere musketeer that would dare to compare

[03:26.17] Put him in the rear, back there where he can't see clear

[03:28.93] Get a beer, idea or near stare, yeah

[03:31.45] So on to be want to be competition

[03:33.95] Trying to step to me--must be on a mission

[03:36.44] Up on the stage is where I'mma get you at

[03:38.92] You think I'm losing?

[03:40.18] Psst, picture that...

[03:42.17] Ain't no half-steppin'

[03:43.69] Ain't no half-steppin'

[03:48.94] Ain't no half-steppin'

[03:54.17] Mister Cee, step to me...

[04:18.93] The name is Big Daddy, you know, as in your father

[04:21.70] So when you hear a def rhyme, believe that I'm the author

[04:24.21] I grab the mic and make MC's evaporate

[04:26.68] The party people say, damn...that rapper's great

[04:29.44] The creator conductor of poetry

[04:31.44] Et cetera, et cetera, it ain't easy being me

[04:33.45] I speak clearly so you can understand

[04:36.68] Put words together like letter, man

[04:38.19] Now that's dictation, proceeding to my innovation

[04:40.69] Not like the other MC's, who are an imitation

[04:43.70] Or an animation, a cartoon to me

[04:45.68] But when I'm finished, I'm sure that you are soon to see

[04:48.18] Reality, my secret technique

[04:50.17] Because I always speak with mentality

[04:52.19] I put my title in your face, dare you to base

[04:54.93] And if you try and come get it, yo I'mma show you who's with it

[04:57.42] So if you know like I know, instead of messing around

[04:59.44] Play like Roy Rogers and slooow doown

[05:02.70] Just give yourself a break, or someone else will take

[05:04.93] Your title, namely me, cause I'm homicidal

[05:06.94] That means murder, cause I'm about to hurt a-

[05:09.45] Nother MC, that try to get with me

[05:11.45] I'll just break him and bake him and rake him

[05:12.95] and take him and mold him and make him

[05:14.44] Hold up the peace sign...

[05:15.96] Assalam Walaikum!
