Big Daddy Kane - Long Live the Kane lyrics

rate me

Party people in the place

Embrace the bass as I commence to pick up the pace

And make you motivate, and accelerate

Cause like Tony the Tiger, I抦 greeeat!

Always seem to come off, hard for you somehow

I mean me being wack, oh come come now

That抯 quite ridiculous, so just admit you was

Thrilled, it抯 on your face, and it抯 conspicuous

Not that you抮e on this, but my performance

Is rather exquisite, so hard is it

Or supremacy, that抯 the perfect definition

But rappers keep wishing to be in my position

Know good and damn well they ain抰 no competition

Huh, I gotta give it to you kid, that抯 ambition

For you to perpetrate the role of me, the Big Daddy

The Big Father, naah, don抰 even bother

Cause that would mean you would have to teach

Each and every one idiotic son

Trying to make it, you can抰 fake it

The rhymes I recite are fully dressed and yours are butt naked

Your speech is weak, while my mine stands strong

So, all hail the man that抯 here to live long

<Break>

You know you heard this voice before somewhere

And when I said that I抦 the Kane, you said 搊h yeah!?That brother that used to rhyme on stage with Biz

Oh he抯 def,?you know what time it is

But this time I抦 not assisted on the microphone

More like Patti Labelle, on my own

Just single-handed, the mic I commanded

Phony MC抯 don抰 understand it, and it

Is the real thing like the taste of Coke

So never sleep on me, better stay awoke

Like a gambler in Vegas, I go for broke

To make a long story short, yo I ain抰 no joke

I take time and care in whatever I抦 doing

And when I rock a party, I make sure that you en-

Joy what you抮e hearing as I entertain

So hip hip hoolay, long live the Kane

<Break>

I got the freedom of speech to use it anyway that I choose it

So all hail to the music

On exhibit, get with it, now here抯 my ring

The original supreme being Black man

Point blank, the cream to rise supreme

As those go below like a submarine

Reaching and teaching a lesson that I抦 giving

Addressing and impressing the crowd, so how we living?

Fine in mind, to decline is out of line

So pardon this brother as I give you mine

To say I抦 not, don抰 even diss yourself

Cause at times, I have to jump back and kiss myself

Long live the K, the A, the N, the E

I say the end will be

A big movement, by the time I抦 through

And that抯 coming from a Black man抯 point of view

<Break>

Now pardon me for just changing the issue

But all you sucker MC抯, it抯 a must that I diss you

The way y抋ll be fronting has made me disgusted

Now I抦ma set you straight, so so yo yo, bust it

Rappers try and hang and just swear that they can party

But the style that I抦 using is just like karate

So if we ever battle you抮e bound to be through

Because I got a black belt in Rap Can Do

No I抦 not Chinese, it抯 just rhymes like these

That destroy an MC with black belt degrees

You抮e rocking a party, trying so hard to get loose

Kid sound awiiite, but I can抰 taste the juice

Therefore, the job is left to me

So I get the party kicking just like Bruce Lee

But I won抰 stop there, I still rock a little harder

While the toy MC抯 step and say, Sayonara!

Long Live the Kane! (x2)

Break it down!
