Hold It Down

Big Daddy Kane

(Featuring Kelly German)

Something about the things that we do

To make it funky for you

And as you listen to the rhyme

You'll see that it just gets better with time

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 is like boxing to Roy Jones Junior

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 Skratch, I get ill

I come equipped to fight and if I flip tonight

Effects on emcees are similar to kryptonite

The 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, what

Keep it moving, world renown

Showing and proving, that we can hold it down

Keep it moving, world renown

Showing and proving, that we can hold it down

Here's a percentage of that old vintage

Macaroni flow but it's more 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 emcees 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

Keep it moving, world renown

Showing and proving, that we can hold it down

Keep it moving, world renown

Showing and proving, that we can hold it down

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 dumb 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

Keep it moving, world renown

Showing and proving, that we can hold it down

Keep it moving, world renown

Showing and proving, that we can hold it down

Hold it down, baby, hold it down

Hold it down, baby, hold it down

Hold it down, baby, hold it down

Uh, uh, uh, uh
