Big Daddy Kane - Young, Gifted And Black Lyrics
[minister farrakhan]So out of the mercy of allahAnd the law, written in our natureWe call an individual, into existenceAnd when that individual, i make, no apologiesFor what i'm about to say[big daddy kane]Rough, rugged and real, you're on standstillTo obey okay so let the man buildWords of rapture that you have to captureAnd i just slapped yaWith the hand full of literatureThat's dope def fresh hype choice smooth and rawRappers i replace, rub out, and eraseCompetition you must be on freebaseSmokin or chokin, bound to be brokenMan, get your damn hands off the mic that i'm chokin!Cause i got a strangeholdYou're still cold off the road for the role you stoleRhymes that you yell out, but you did sell outCrossed-over, lost over here, now get the hell outI'm not a pop star, rock'n'rollerI'm a rebel, blessed, able to hold aMic like a hammer, and drop grammarTreat a rapper like a wrestler, and body slam himThose who dispute get treated just like a prostituteThey get the boot and played like a fluteSo just play mute, don't even whisperOpen your mouth to speak and i'm diss yaRagtag and dog, put you in the morgueBecause you're petty confetti and not ready to rock steadyIn other words, you're half-steppin'Tiptoein, get goin, because my weaponIs not a nine, an uzi or a shotgunBut when it come to hype rhymes i got oneJust like the album is still the same_long live the kane_ ain't a damn thing changedI still get ill and kill at will and build the skillTo fill your grill so don't tell me you're realWe sample beats, you sue and try to fight us*tchk* maaaan, you still be home with arthritis!If we didn't revive em, bring back aliveOld beats that we appreciated, you wouldn't surviveYou'd be another memory to usAshes to ashes and dust to dustSo understand, the way that i liveThat's positive - and the message i got to giveIt's a benefit for you and meI'm talkin bout p.e.a.c.e.The chosen one that has turned a new leafI got gold teeth, and they don't chew beefNo pork on my fork, strictly fish on my dishThe kane fallin victim? *tchk* sucker, you wishI flow like water, slaughterPut you out of order.. floored ya!Rappers are raggin and taggin and snaggin and bragginTo be on the bandwagon, but i'm the last dragonWith the knack to attract the packSo just get back, i'm young, gifted and blackAnd just go with the flow you knowIn the place to be with my man marley marlSendin this out to divine forceCan't forget my main man heavy dAnd to my good brothers epmdAnd to my man ice-t over on the west coastCan't forget kool moe dee, busy bee, mc lyte, the audio twoI say, peace!
