Raw Lyrics by Big Daddy Kane

Raw Lyrics

    <here it comes...>

    <documentary sample:
    Since the far-off days when man first heard a scratchy noise
    On a cylindrical drum accompanied by staccato human tones,
    It has been his aim to add breadth and depth, to give realism,
    And spaciousness, and, even where it applies, to convey actual movement>

    Intro: i start to go, my rhymes’ll flow
    So, get up and dance cause kane said so
    If you were lounging around it’s time to get up
    Pardon my expression, but i’mma tear shit up
    I appear right here, and scare and dare, a mere musketeer
    That would dare to compare, i do declare
    Getting busy is where it’s at
    But what you’re saying, you wouldn’t get a point for that
    Cause you’re a featherweight, and your rhymes you carry light
    But i drop bass just like barry white
    So how could you think that you pose a threat?
    You say you’re rocking, how many shows you get?
    All your vocals go local on the m-i-c
    Mines go a great distance, like at&t
    I’m now new to this, i’m true to this, nothing you can do to this
    Fuck around with kane and come out black and blue for this
    So, yo, go for what you know
    Attempt to debate so i can humiliate
    We can go rhyme for rhyme, word for word, verse for verse
    Get you a nurse, too late, get you a hearse
    To take you to your burial ground
    Because the big daddy kane always throws down
    Correct, i get respect, i’m out to collect
    Cash money, cause i get raw

    <break>
    Everybody get up! (x4)
    Kane: boy do i hate a...
    I’m coming! (x5)

    Here i am, r-a-w
    A terrorist, here to bring trouble to
    Phony mc’s, i move on and seize
    I just conquer and stomp another rapper with ease
    Cause i’m at my apex and others are below
    Nothing but a milliliter, i’m a kilo
    Second to none, making mc’s run
    So don’t try to step to me, cause i ain’t the one
    I relieve rappers just like tylenol
    And they know it, so i don’t see why you all
    Try to front, perpetrating a stunt
    When you know that i’ll smoke you up like a blunt
    I’m genuine like gucci, raw like sushi
    To stage a rage is what rap did to me
    To make me want to create chaos and mayhem
    Cold rock a party until the a.m.
    I’ll make a muscle, grab the mic and hustle
    While you stand dazed and amazed, i bust a
    Little rhyme with authority, superiority
    And captivate the whole crowd’s majority
    The rhymes i use definitely amuse
    Better than dynasty, or hill street blues
    I’m sure to score adored for more without a flaw
    Cause i get raw

    <break>
    Everybody get up! (x5)

    With speech like a reverend, rappers start severing
    And in my lifetime, believe i’ve never been
    Beaten, or eaten and just tooken out
    You know, come to think about it, i keep mc’s looking out
    And real nervous when i’m at your service
    Give me that title, boy, you don’t deserve this
    I work like a slave to become a master
    And when i say a rhyme, you that it has to
    Be perfectly fitted, cause i’m committed
    The entertainer and trainer and kane’ll get with it
    I go and flow and grow to let you know
    I damage ya i’m not an amateur but a pro-
    Fessional a questional without doubt superb
    So full of action, my name should be a verb
    My voice will float on every note
    When i clear my throat, that’s all she wrote!
    The minute that the kane starts to go on
    Believe it’s gonna be smooth sailing so on
    As i put other rappers out of their misery
    Get them in a battle and make them all history
    Ruling and schooling mc’s that i’m dueling
    Watch them all take a fall as i sit back cooling
    On my throne, with a bronze microphone
    Hmm, god bless the child that can hold his own
    Cause i get raw

    <break>
    Ain’t it good to you? (x3)
    Documentary: here’s an experiment to begin with...

    Twenty-four sev chilling, killing like a villain
    The meaning of raw is ready and willing
    To do whatever is clever, take a loss, never
    And the rhymes i bust, coming off is a must
    And i come off hard with rhymes that are odd
    I rip the microphone and leave it scarred
    Never smoking or hitting or taking a sniff
    Only crushing mc’s that be trying to riff
    I get strong and titanic, do work like a mechanic
    Make mc’s panic, they all get frantic
    And skeptic, like a girl on a contraceptive
    As i rock but hey, what you expected?
    I’ll get raw for you just like a warrior
    Rapping like a samurai and i’ll be damned if i
    Ever let a fisher-price mc hang
    Their rhymes are toy, nothing but yin-yang
    So if we battle on the microphone
    Bring your own casket and tombstone
    And i’mma preach your funeral
    Tell me who in the world
    Could ever come with more
    I get raw
