Daddy Daddy tell me a story of how you took out that wack MC
No Daddytell them how you beat down that bootlegger
Daddy Daddy tell us a story!

[Big Daddy Kane]
Heh hehalrightalrightalright y all OK
Come on y allcrowd around Daddy now OK? C mon
Y all just sit there and listen
I ma tell you about the MC
and I ma tell you about the bootleggerOK?
Here we go children

It happened at a jamsome kid tried to sham on the program
So I had to silence the lamb and show him who I am
So I just set it off on my competitor
Freakin the funk as I hit em with crazy metaphors
Like back up off me Dukesbecause you re trippin
You better dry your cranium offcause your brain is slippin
You beatin me is somethin that I doubt
The only way you could bake Kane is workin in a crackhouse
No man alive can withstand the Kane flow
I kick so much flavor that my shoes look like a rainbow
You need a whole lot of practiceyou thought that you was
on the money so I took you out like taxes!
Now you can Flea Offreleasin me Geasy be
to keep the great MC
Then I throw em I lean and mean record to spark
So I can school that ass just like Joe Clark
next I translatedmy rap is more educated
and made it complicated for him to illustrate it
My dexterityput him in fear of me
and had his mind bewildered by everything he was hearin see
That was enough to slow his whole train of thought down
So I just speeded the pace up more than enough for him to come around
I triple the wordswhen makin the rhymeswhatever the rhythm
Puttin his mind in a prison
And oh yeahthat s how I did em

That s how I did em (HUH) that s how I did em (HAH)
That s how I did em (HUH) that s how I did em (HAH)
That s how I did em (HUH) that s how I did em (HAH)
That s how I did em (HEYYYYYYYY)

I was out flexlookin cold sex in a Lex
Sippin on a Beck spumpin the remix of Das EFX
Drive down 125th with my man
And what did I seebein sold at the stand?
A bunch of bootleg tapes that he had claim on it
So I snatched everything with my name on it
And give me that Kool G. Rap tapeand give me that Ice Cube
and all the Wu-Tang jointscause they re my boys too
A man tryin to make a livinI can t knock it
But now you tried to take money out of my pocket
Word to Mizwhat the problem isis that the kids
didn t buy it from The Wizthey bought your shaky fibs so
now it s time to move him off the block
Pass me the glock cause I might make a body rock
And I ll break down sixteen shots
That s One + Eight + Seven on a undercover
bootleggeryou re worse than a beggar
Makin a fake profitstop it
Cause I work hard for the moneyto make cash flow
to have another come along and take my dough
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
So I just told my manaiyyo
throw the tapes in the Lexus
Then we burned his whole stand down just like WacoTexas
And then I jumped on the brotherwith rage
Crushed his ribcagedamn did he get slayed
Cause I don t think he even know whatever hit him
Bootleggers bewarecause yeah I did em

That s how I did em (HUH) that s how I did em (HAH)
That s how I did em (HUH) that s how I did em (HAH)
That s how I did em (HUH) that s how I did em (HAH)
That s how I did em (HEYYYYYYYY)

Give it your best shotbring it with all you got
And watch the bombs I drop just rock your knot
Cause it ain t wise to address me
I wouldn t advise a schoolteacher to test me
Cause I don t just do emI run through em
And I don t just hurtuh uhI body work em
Lyrical torturenever could support ya
For steppin to meagony is what it brought ya
Cause you never seen this type of lyrical genius
that could never be touchedand I mean this
So one loveI ma leave you with the rhythm
Ain t no need to go offcause yo hon know I did em

That s how I did em (HUH) that s how I did em (HAH)
That s how I did em (HUH) that s how I did em (HAH)
That s how I did em (HUH) that s how I did em (HAH)
That s how I did em (HEYYYYYYYY)
