Lyrics

[Verse 1] Let it roll, get bold, I just can't hold Back or fold 'cause 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, MCs 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, or cough E-e-e-even if I stutter, I'ma still come off 'Cause 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's said Save the bass for the pipe and rearrange your tone Or take a loss and be forced in the danger zone 'Cause 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 [Chorus] I can't hold it back Set it off I can't hold it back Set it off I can't hold it back Set it off I can't hold it back Now break loose [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, then feed me dope 'Cause I'm just about as dope as dope can get Ultimate, legit, Kane is a perfect fit The king of my kingdom, completin' a cypher 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 'cause [Chorus] I can't hold it back Set it off I can't hold it back Set it off I can't hold it back Set it off I can't hold it back Now break loose I can't hold it back [Outro] Uh Yeah Now I just wanna say what's up to my man Botch, can't forget D This goes out to Hawk, Dog, Pig, Miami, Slop And of course my man Big Shy, AB Money, Neil To my man KK, Von Cheetah, D Smooth, Ive West Can't forget Jam Footloose and Lil' K To my man Mont, Steve, Chee, Mark, Howard, Logey, Cheely And the whole posse from the jungle To my man Jamel from Queens Of course the one known as Ant Live, Thorough V The Debonair Three Frank Nitty Ikecapone Melquan and Shabazz The whole Brooklyn posse blasé blasé And may I send this out to the one known as AJ Fresh Peace, my brother
