Long Live the Kane Lyrics by Big Daddy Kane

Long Live the Kane Lyrics

    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’m greeeat!
    Always seem to come off, hard for you somehow
    I mean me being wack, oh come come now
    That’s quite ridiculous, so just admit you was
    Thrilled, it’s on your face, and it’s conspicuous
    Not that you’re on this, but my performance
    Is rather exquisite, so hard is it
    Or supremacy, that’s the perfect definition
    But rappers keep wishing to be in my position
    Know good and damn well they ain’t no competition
    Huh, I gotta give it to you kid, that’s ambition
    For you to perpetrate the role of me, the Big Daddy
    The Big Father, naah, don’t even bother
    Cause that would mean you would have to teach
    Each and every one idiotic son
    Trying to make it, you can’t 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’s here to live long

    <Break>

    You know you heard this voice before somewhere
    And when I said that I’m the Kane, you said “oh yeah!”
    That brother that used to rhyme on stage with Biz
    Oh he’s def,” you know what time it is
    But this time I’m not assisted on the microphone
    More like Patti Labelle, on my own
    Just single-handed, the mic I commanded
    Phony MC’s don’t 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’t no joke
    I take time and care in whatever I’m doing
    And when I rock a party, I make sure that you en-
    Joy what you’re 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’s 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’m 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’m not, don’t 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’m through
    And that’s coming from a Black man’s point of view

    <Break>

    Now pardon me for just changing the issue
    But all you sucker MC’s, it’s a must that I diss you
    The way y’all be fronting has made me disgusted
    Now I’mma 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’m using is just like karate
    So if we ever battle you’re bound to be through
    Because I got a black belt in Rap Can Do
    No I’m not Chinese, it’s just rhymes like these
    That destroy an MC with black belt degrees
    You’re rocking a party, trying so hard to get loose
    Kid sound awiiite, but I can’t taste the juice
    Therefore, the job is left to me
    So I get the party kicking just like Bruce Lee
    But I won’t stop there, I still rock a little harder
    While the toy MC’s step and say, Sayonara!

    Long Live the Kane! (x2)
    Break it down!
