[00:00.000]Young, Gifted and Black - Big Daddy Kane
[00:00.760]So out of the mercy of Allah
[00:02.810]And the law written in our nature
[00:06.679]We call an individual into existence
[00:09.849]And when that individual I make no apologies
[00:13.039]For what I'm about to say
[00:15.598]Rough rugged and real you're on standstill
[00:18.428]To obey okay so let the man build
[00:21.288]Words of rapture that you have to capture
[00:24.318]And I just slapped ya with the hand full of literature
[00:28.058]That's d**e def fresh hype choice smooth and raw
[00:30.818]Rappers I replace rub out and erase
[00:33.048]Competition you must be on freebase
[00:36.088]Smokin' or chokin' bound to be broken
[00:37.948]Man get your damn hands off the mic that I'm chokin'
[00:40.798]'Cuz I got a strangehold
[00:42.828]You're still cold off the road for the role you stole
[00:45.248]Rhymes that you yell out but you did sell out
[00:48.048]Crossed-over lost over here now get the hell out
[00:51.138]I'm not a pop star rock 'n' roller
[00:53.008]I'm a rebel blessed able to hold a
[00:55.658]Mic like a hammer and drop grammar
[00:58.038]Treat a rapper like a wrestler and body slam him
[01:00.698]Those who dispute get treated just like a prostitute
[01:03.238]They get the boot and played like a flute
[01:05.538]So just play mute don't even whisper
[01:08.688]Open your mouth to speak and I'm diss ya
[01:10.838]Ragtag and dog put you in the morgue
[01:13.068]Because you're petty confetti and not ready to rock steady
[01:16.078]In other words you're half-steppin'
[01:18.178]Tiptoein' get goin' because my weapon
[01:20.878]Is not a nine an uzi or a shotgun
[01:23.258]But when it come to hype rhymes I got one
[01:25.888]Just like the album is still the same
[01:28.208]Long live the Kane ain't a damn thing changed
[01:30.868]I still get ill and kill at will and build the skill
[01:33.738]To fill your grill so don't tell me you're real
[01:35.888]We sample beats you sue and try to fight us
[01:39.068]Man you still be home with arthritis
[01:41.058]If we didn't revive em bring back alive
[01:43.308]Old beats that we appreciated you wouldn't survive
[01:46.827]You'd be another memory to us
[01:48.627]Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
[01:50.807]So understand the way that I live
[01:53.587]That's positive and the message I got to give
[01:56.516]It's a benefit for you and me I'm talkin' 'bout P E A C E
[02:01.096]The chosen one that has turned a new leaf
[02:03.776]I got gold teeth and they don't chew beef
[02:05.956]No pork on my fork strictly fish on my dish
[02:08.456]The Kane fallin' victim Sucker you wish
[02:12.146]I flow like water slaughter put you out of order floored ya
[02:16.416]Rappers are raggin' and taggin' and snaggin' and braggin'
[02:19.205]To be on the bandwagon but I'm the Last Dragon
[02:21.185]With the knack to attract the pack
[02:23.415]So just get back I'm young gifted and black
[02:32.044]And just go with the flow you know
[02:33.624]In the place to be with my man Marley Marl
[02:36.104]Sendin' this out to Divine Force
[02:38.184]Can't forget my main man Heavy D
[02:40.684]And to my good brothers EPMD
[02:42.744]And to my man Ice-T over on the West Coast
[02:45.424]Can't forget Kool Moe Dee Busy Bee MC Lyte the Audio Two
[02:50.954]I say peace
