[Verse One]
I come from off the streets where you learn to do or die
And you can't say the Bed without saying the Stuy
Reputation notorious
In battle victorious
I ran through everyone of your boroughs
Just like the Warriors
Crushing my enemy
In any vicinity
It's either him or me
So i'ma make him a memory
It's not intended to be
Some sort of facsimile
But my identity
Is kinda like number twenty-three
You hope to be
One day as dope as me
But your softer than tissue
And just as sweet as potpourri
Bring on your best and watch the way I k** a few
Mutilation
I break them up just like syllables
For any competition coming for my title
Foe or rival [?]
You better want it more than I do
You can't be half stepping when the Kane come attack
Lyrical Thundercat
You don't want none of that
[Chous]
Like that y'all
It's like that y'all
It's like that
X4
[Verse Two]
[?] A dissing for a**ault
[?] Battling salt with rappers
Getting Colt 44's as I bring it to a halt
That [?]gangster bullsh** as I spit the hardest song
Plus, I'm born invincible just like Carter Wong
When you cross the line
I stick you like a porcupine
Anything to make sure you never f** with mine
You'd rather be
A tragedy
A catastrophe
That has to be
Drastically
Delivered by your majesty
You can see why
You can never be fly
As me
The B-i-g D-a double d-y
Speaking the slurred sentence
From Old Gold to Guinness
Still quick to run up in your mouth just like a dentist
[?] Sit down in groups hear my man fat cable
And kick down the doors of your f**ing rap label
And put you out of business like WHT
Trying to play the Kane
What are you crazy?
[Chorus]
[Kane ad lib]
Uh-huh
Know what I'm saying?
This Big Daddy Kane
Doing the things that I do
And everything you hear is Top Shelf
[Verse Three]
I come from out the gutter
Where all of my n***as [?]
Around one another
Ripping flows [?]
The block party favorite
Who rap the craziest
Cause when it comes to the mic
I'm too amazing, kid
You looking at a lyrical rapper
That drop the [?]gatter
That sounds fatter
Than anybody coming near or after
I stand accused
For the nig that I abuse
And [?] pop Langston Hughes
And I never plan to lose
[?] because you know how we do
[?] We know peace in the crew
Up on Lewis Avenue
I got a whole posse that's straight Bellevue
You keep faking moves
You get stuck at the LQ
Ain't no comparing ya
Evacuate the area
The stakes get scarier
I don't wanna bury ya
It's like a marathon the way you hear tracks
[?] fear facts
n***as running out their Air Max
[Kane ad lib]
Uh uh-uh-uh-uh
To my man Cool V
Good lookin' Brooklyn
