Letra da Música Ain't No Half-Steppin' de Big Daddy Kane

<ah yeah
I抦 with this
I抦 just gonna sit here laid back to this nice mellow beat, you know
And drop some smooth lyrics
Cause it抯 ?8
Time to set it straight, knowwhatI抦saying
And ain抰 no half stepping
Word
I抦 ready>

Rappers stepping to me they want to get some
But I抦 the Kane, so yo, you know the outcome
Another victory
They can抰 get with me
So pick a BC date cause you抮e history
I抦 the authentic poet to get lyrical
For you to beat me, it抯 gonna take a miracle
And, stepping to me, yo that抯 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
I抦 different, so don抰 compare me to another
Cause they can抰 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 you抮e petty
You抮e just a butter knife, I抦 a machete
That抯 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, I抦ma play Jason
No type of joke, gag, game, puzzle or riddle
The name is Big Daddy, yes Big not little
So define it
Here抯 your walking papers, sign it
And take a walk
As the Kane start to talk, cause...

<Break>
Ain抰 no half-steppin?<scratched> I抦 the Big Daddy Kane
(3 times)

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

<Break>
Ain抰 no half-steppin?<scratched> I抦 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 can抰 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 I抦ma get you at
You think I抦 losing?
Psst, picture that...

<Break>
Ain抰 no half-steppin?(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 I抦 the author
I grab the mic and make MC抯 evaporate
The party people say, damn...that rapper抯 great
The creator conductor of poetry
Et cetera, et cetera, it ain抰 easy being me
I speak clearly so you can understand
Put words together like letter, man
Now that抯 dictation, proceeding to my innovation
Not like the other MC抯, who are an imitation
Or an animation, a cartoon to me
But when I抦 finished, I抦 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 I抦ma show you who抯 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 I抦 homicidal
That means murder, cause I抦 about to hurt a-
Nother MC, that try to get with me
I抣l 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!
