[Big Daddy Kane]

Mmm.. mmm, yeah

Oh I like this

I wanna tell this story

A little story about umm..

.. a brother who you would think has everything goin for himself

But apparently for some reason he just ain't happenin

I call this brother Mr. Pitiful

I wanna tell you somethin about him, check it out

The story begins in 1984

when I met the BizMarkie out in front of the store

He used to tell me all the time, "Yo your lyrics is hype

We got to get together and make a record of some type"

I said, "Man, the hype behind Run-D.M.C. and Cool J

What the fuck makes you think they're gonna give us a play?"

We did a few shows together, freestylin on stage

Manhattan and Long Island, for Mike and Dave

After that, I was convinced we can do it

until my man Biz jetted and came out with "Make the Music.."

From right there, I said, "Man, this shit is real

Look at Biz in the new leather and a pair of spot bills"

I got to give it to you Dukes, I was wrong

Well you out there now, so put my black ass on

and sure enough, huh, in about a year's time

I was R-A-W, goin for mine

Droppin jams that slammed on every radio program

And bam, GOD DAMN, look where I am

The first album, _Long Live the Kane_, it sold

about umm.. AWW FUKKIT it went gold

The money was comin in, yes I had done em in

It wasn't quite hard for me to find a woman then

Cause I was in demand for lots of fans

A sexy chocolate guy in the public eye

I bought myself a condo out in Queens

A plush white Volvo and drove off the scene

But I remained the same since I moved out

for instance - drinkin Olde E and Guinness Stout

And also, hangin out with the troops

Most of all
