Текст песни Big Daddy Kane - Ain't No Half-Steppin'

Ah yeah
Im with this
Im just gonna sit here laid back to this nice mellow beat, you know
And drop some smooth lyrics
Cause its ?8
Time to set it straight, knowwhatimsaying
And aint no half stepping
Word
Im ready>

Rappers stepping to me they want to get some
But im the kane, so yo, you know the outcome
Another victory
They cant get with me
So pick a bc date cause youre history
Im the authentic poet to get lyrical
For you to beat me, its gonna take a miracle
And, stepping to me, yo thats 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
Im different, so dont compare me to another
Cause they cant 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 youre petty
Youre just a butter knife, im a machete
Thats 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, imma play jason
No type of joke, gag, game, puzzle or riddle
The name is big daddy, yes big not little
So define it
Heres your walking papers, sign it
And take a walk
As the kane start to talk, cause...

My rhymes are so dope and
The rappers be hoping
To sound like me, so soon ill 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 mcs coming out sounding so similar
Its quite confusing for you to remember
The originator, and boy do i hate a
Perpetrator, but im much greater
The best oh yes i guess suggest the rest should fess
Dont 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 its 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 mcs
And devour with the power of hercules
Or samson, but i go further the length
Cause you could scalp my cameo and ill still have strength
And no, thats not a myth, and if you try to riff
Or get with, the man with the given gift of gab
Your vocab, ill only ignore
Be sleeping on your rhymes till i start to snore
You cant awake me, or even make me
Fear you, son, cause you cant do me none
So, think about it if youre trying to go
When you want to step to me, i think you should know that...

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 cant 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 imma get you at
You think im losing?
Psst, picture that...

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 im the author
I grab the mic and make mcs evaporate
The party people say, damn...that rappers great
The creator conductor of poetry
Et cetera, et cetera, it aint easy being me
I speak clearly so you can understand
Put words together like letter, man
Now thats dictation, proceeding to my innovation
Not like the other mcs, who are an imitation
Or an animation, a cartoon to me
But when im fin
