Big Daddy Kane

Rappers stepped to me, but they didnt get none
Im the Kane so you know the outcome
The microphone crooner, should have set the tone sooner
Hip hop to me Re boxing to Roy Jones Jr.
The genuine, search and youll find
That on the microphone I can handle mine
Heres a view to a kill as I flipped the skill
When its time to rock the mic like Al Scratch I get ill
I come equipped to fight and if I flip tonight
Effects on MCs are similar to kryptonite
Water flows that be hard to distinguish
Its best to relinquish, you dont want the God to bring this
Im marvelous at the art of this, even if you got assist
stepping to me is a lot of risk. I release skills thats abundant
to explode and drop on you like flight 800
[Chorus]
Keep it moving world renown
showing and proving
That we can hold it down
[Verse 2]
Heres a percentage of that old vintage
Macaroni flow but its mare than an image
Dont let the smooth taste fool ya , Let me school ya
On what it is, straight up square biz
Swift maneuvering to crush the crew you bring
Last thing them want tell me is Kane go do your thing who the king
Asiatic non equivalent to any
Plus I play the game a more harder way than Penny
The plan that I mobilize for dough to rise is no surprise
That it comes from what I vocalize
Im the best you can get as I hit you with
The stroke of death And I aint even broke a sweat
But this is where I draw the. line youre sure to find
Lyrics I be dropping is too much for the mortal mind
Whats being caused is many MCs Im seeing lost
The hip hop laws should be reinforced
You made a record this year, Oh youre hot
Something fishy about your style, who flow you got
You thought that you could hold me down no youre not
Now back up off me, here I come to blow the spot
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Alright, here I come to get some
But instead you dont want the love to spread
I heard that jealousy and envy is a dum ones tool
so daddy says nothing he keeps his cool
I been through your tribulations and conflicts
Anything possible to keep me out the mix
But ease back, boy you better freeze that
Where my rivalries lack Im still nice with these Black
I rap with the safety cap so that you dont get it twisted
And be another statistic
How many more to try, is sure to die
Slaughter I, all that playa hating only makes me fortify
to get the papers to me is a necessity
And I dont want a piece of the pie I want the recipe
I cant lose with what I use
Im the reason why the lady sings the blues
Dont get it confused
[Chorus]
[ Hold It Down Lyrics ]
