Ain't No Half - Steppin'

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, know what I'm saying


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


I'm the Big Daddy Kane


I'm the Big Daddy Kane





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, ah 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


I'm the Big Daddy Kane


I'm the Big Daddy Kane





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'


Ain't no half-steppin'


Ain't no half-steppin'


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 slow down


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 another 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!
