Big Daddy Kane Ain`t No Half-steppin` Lyrics

Ain`t No Half-steppin` Lyrics



Rappers stepping to me they want to get some
But IÆm the Kane, so yo, you know the outcome
Another victory
They canÆt get with me
So pick a BC date cause youÆre history
IÆm the authentic poet to get lyrical
For you to beat me, itÆs gonna take a miracle
And, stepping to me, yo thatÆs 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
IÆm different, so donÆt compare me to another
Cause they canÆt 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 youÆre petty
YouÆre just a butter knife, IÆm a machete
ThatÆs 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, IÆmma play Jason
No type of joke, gag, game, puzzle or riddle
The name is Big Daddy, yes Big not little
So define it
HereÆs your walking papers, sign it
And take a walk
As the Kane start to talk, cause...


AinÆt no half-steppinÆ
 IÆm the Big Daddy Kane
(3 times)

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


AinÆt no half-steppinÆ
 IÆm the Big Daddy Kane
(3 times)

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 canÆt 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 IÆmma get you at
You think IÆm losing?
Psst, picture that...


AinÆt no half-steppinÆ
(3 times)
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 IÆm the author
I grab the mic and make MCÆs evaporate
The party people say, damn...that rapperÆs great
The creator conductor of poetry
Et cetera, et cetera, it ainÆt easy being me
I speak clearly so you can understand
Put words together like letter, man
Now thatÆs dictation, proceeding to my innovation
Not like the other MCÆs, who are an imitation
Or an animation, a cartoon to me
But when IÆm finished, IÆm 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 IÆmma show you whoÆs with it
So if you know like I know, instead of messing around
Play like Roy Rogers and slooow doown
Just give yourself a break, or someone else will take
Your title, namely me, cause IÆm homicidal
That means murder, cause IÆm about to hurt a-
Nother MC, that try to get with me
IÆll 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!
