|
Rappers stepped to me, but they didn't get none
|
I'm 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 you'll find
|
That on the microphone I can handle mine
|
Here's a view to a kill as I flipped the skill
|
When it's time to rock the mic like Al Scratch I get ill
|
I come equipped to fight and if I flip tonight
|
Effects on MC's are similar to kryptonite
|
Water flows that be hard to distinguish
|
It's best to relinquish, you don't want the God to bring this
|
I'm marvelous at the art of this, even if you got assist
|
stepping to me is a lot of risk. I release skills that's 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
|
Here's a percentage of that old vintage
|
Macaroni flow but its mare than an image
|
Don't 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
|
I'm the best you can get as I hit you with
|
The stroke of death And I ain't even broke a sweat
|
But this is where I draw the. line you're sure to find
|
Lyrics I be dropping is too much for the mortal mind
|
What's being caused is many MC's I'm seeing lost
|
The hip hop laws should be reinforced
|
You made a record this year, Oh you're hot
|
Something fishy about your style, who flow you got
|
You thought that you could hold me down no you're 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 don't want the love to spread
|
I heard that jealousy and envy is a dum one's 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 I'm still nice with these Black
|
I rap with the safety cap so that you don't 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 don't want a piece of the pie I want the recipe
|
I can't lose with what I use
|
I'm the reason why the lady sings the blues
|
Don't get it confused
|
|
Chorus
