Lyrics

[Intro: Big Daddy Kane] One-two, doin' a few for you [Verse 1: Big Daddy Kane] Intro, I start to go, my rhymes'll flow so Get up and dance 'cause Kane said so If you are loungin' around, it's time to get up Pardon my expression, but I'mma tear shit up! I appear right here and scare and dare A mere musketeer that would dare to compare I do declare — gettin' busy is where it's at But with what you're sayin', you wouldn't get a point for that 'Cause you'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 you're rockin'?! How many shows you get?! All your vocals go local on the M-I-C Mine's go a great distance like AT&T I'm not new to this, I'm true to this, nothin' 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 I'm out to collect cash money, but that's another subject My rhymes are so dope and the rappers be hopin' To sound like me, so soon I'll have to open A school of emceein', for those who wanna be in My field and court, but then again, on second thought To have MC's comin' out, soundin' so similar It's quite confusin' for you to remember the Originator, and boy, do I hate a Perpetrator, but I'm much greater I'm A, number one, second to none A sufficient title for me would be champion Of any event in which I present Fresh lyrics, you hear it and mark them excellent Very exquisite and explicit Extraordinaire, so what is it? Nothin' but the finest, your supreme Highness Out to diminish, delete and minus All rappers that's inferior, playin' my area Rhymes I recite will make them deteriorate away And just get this straight To compete, I will defeat and totally humiliate All imitation with the combination Of rhymes more deadlier than Freddy or Jason I'll be on ya like Robitussin on a cough If you know like I know, you'd step the hell off! On a peaceful eve, give me space to breathe The way I be rockin', you wouldn't believe I'm athletic, energetic, my rhymes are poetic And while others are pathetic, my style is copacetic Innovator, dominator, rhyme creator My rhymes are food for your party, now allow me to cater 'Cause I'm the rappers' idol and my title is so vital MC's tryna take it? Results are homicidal All MC's try to handle me, are led to misfortune and calamity So to whom it may concern, please try and learn That in a battle with the Kane, you just get burned 'Cause I'm a slayer, rhyme-sayer that's out to kill Progress, manifest, drop science and build And any rapper tryna stop me from comin' through Like Chaka Khan, I Feel For You! Destruction and corruption is what will occur Much damage bein' done as I injure And when I get through rockin' the mic like this You'll have to thank the God Almighty if you still exist Like that, y'all, it's like that, y'all And when my Bally's run down, I get taps, y'all So Kool G Rap — my mellow, my man Get on the mic with the gangsta plan [Verse 2: Kool G Rap] This little note is like a formula, the antidote For copy-catters, I quote, they wanna deep-throat Lyrics that I wrote, placed upon a beat so neat Orchestras and bands can't compete or compare Or even come near to this here This is a mere affair, you just stare and cheer Crystal clear to your ear, perhaps some rappers are up there To me, they're just Hollywood Squares Music I create rotates on a plate And I know some people hate me because I'm great Got a lot of females 'cause my records make sales While the others on the shelf is goin' slower than snails And this shows the pros are so composed Also, enemies and foes, to G Rap, they're only zeros Not heroes, they're fractions minus the action of satisfaction Also, the brain of the main attraction I'm not mixed with any studio tricks No special effects like you see in the flicks I'm dramatic, so there you have it, I'm fantastic Competitors are plastic, stretch 'em like elastic Then grab the microphone And create a relaxin' tone like a saxophone If you don't like it, then use the exit, to hell with it I'm Kool G Rap and I made it, I did it Mission completed, suckers are defeated I sweated and bleeded, but yet I succeeded So please be aware that this is a war If the shoe fits, wear it 'cause that's what it's made for My metaphors are excellent, yours are poor My literature will score more, for sure The creature, feature, searcher, preacher, teacher Torture, rupture, capture, rapture, reach ya Musical master, rhyme reacts as a Brain that has the knowledge of NASA You're just a KitKat, small as a Tic-Tac But I'm a Big Mac, 'cause I'm G Rap Well equipped with a hip-hop lip My memory bank is like a microchip My bass'll give a shake of an earthquake It'll make you, sucker MC, wanna jump in the lake 'Cause I'm murder, homi-cide, comma Crush, kill, destroy with excitement and drama Speaker, sound seeker, you become weaker My art is a smoker, your material is mediocre The rap Olympia, devastate the area I'm gettin' brainier, lyrical mania Power source, energy enforced Your headboards, will need Red Cross So come one or two, step through a few Doubles and couples, and I'll cripple all triples, huh! You can't handle it — none or any, one or many, some or plenty 'Cause I'm not a stranger, just the rhyme arranger Highly explosive, keep out, danger! Packin' G's while you try to be me But for these MC's, I call 'em the wannabe G's What I write is in the smokin' section Here's an injection of rap perfection So what the heck? You select my dialect Next man's cassette, yo, reject and eject 'Cause I could use a technique, modern or antique Beats never repeat, show you that I can speak Totally, properly, but rappers wanna copy me This takes strategy just like Monopoly Figure it out: Kool G Rap is about makin' armies and crews look like Girl Scouts 'Cause when I start rappin', I keep the people clappin' Suckers that be yappin' don't think that this can happen!
