Young， Gifted and Black - Big Daddy Kane

Young, Gifted and Black - Big Daddy Kane
So out of the mercy of Allah
And the law written in our nature
We call an individual into existence
And when that individual I make no apologies
For what I'm about to say
Rough rugged and real you're on standstill
To obey okay so let the man build
Words of rapture that you have to capture
And I just slapped ya with the hand full of literature
That's d**e def fresh hype choice smooth and raw
Rappers I replace rub out and erase
Competition you must be on freebase
Smokin' or chokin' bound to be broken
Man get your damn hands off the mic that I'm chokin'
'Cuz I got a strangehold
You're still cold off the road for the role you stole
Rhymes that you yell out but you did sell out
Crossed-over lost over here now get the hell out
I'm not a pop star rock 'n' roller
I'm a rebel blessed able to hold a
Mic like a hammer and drop grammar
Treat a rapper like a wrestler and body slam him
Those who dispute get treated just like a prostitute
They get the boot and played like a flute
So just play mute don't even whisper
Open your mouth to speak and I'm diss ya
Ragtag and dog put you in the morgue
Because you're petty confetti and not ready to rock steady
In other words you're half-steppin'
Tiptoein' get goin' because my weapon
Is not a nine an uzi or a shotgun
But when it come to hype rhymes I got one
Just like the album is still the same
Long live the Kane ain't a damn thing changed
I still get ill and kill at will and build the skill
To fill your grill so don't tell me you're real
We sample beats you sue and try to fight us
Man you still be home with arthritis
If we didn't revive em bring back alive
Old beats that we appreciated you wouldn't survive
You'd be another memory to us
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
So understand the way that I live
That's positive and the message I got to give
It's a benefit for you and me I'm talkin' 'bout P E A C E
The chosen one that has turned a new leaf
I got gold teeth and they don't chew beef
No pork on my fork strictly fish on my dish
The Kane fallin' victim Sucker you wish
I flow like water slaughter put you out of order floored ya
Rappers are raggin' and taggin' and snaggin' and braggin'
To be on the bandwagon but I'm the Last Dragon
With the knack to attract the pack
So just get back I'm young gifted and black
And just go with the flow you know
In the place to be with my man Marley Marl
Sendin' this out to Divine Force
Can't forget my main man Heavy D
And to my good brothers EPMD
And to my man Ice-T over on the West Coast
Can't forget Kool Moe Dee Busy Bee MC Lyte the Audio Two
I say peace
