Smooth Operator - Big Daddy Kane

Well excuse me, take a few minutes, to mellow out

Big Daddy Kane is on the mic and I’ma tell about

a minimum len>h, of rhymes of stren>h and power, so listen to the man of the hour

Flow and go to a slow tempo and you know

sing hoe, swing low, then yo the show

will go on, as I perform

Transformin on stage like a Decepticon

But I’m not animated like a cartoon

I’m for real, shootin lyrics like a harpoon

Across the crowd, the listeners, the spectators

So let’s groove with the smooth operator

cause I’m so smooth… -→Rakim

I’m good and plenty, servin many and any

competition, wishin for an expedition

I’m straight up dissin and dismissin, listen

Rappers act so wild, and love to profile

Frontin hard but ain’t got no style

I give nightmares to those who compete

Freddy Kreuger, walkin on Kane Street

Confuse and lose abuse and bruise the crews

who choose to use my name wrong, they pay dues

Destruction from the exterminator

But in a calm manner, cause I’m a smooth operator

cause I’m so smooth… -→Rakim

Now girls step up to this

One simple kiss, and it’s over Miss

Sold to nice dreamers, high as the price seem

girlfriend, you been scooped like ice cream

So just swing or fling a gathering try to cling

Cause It’s a Big Daddy Thing

And I’m lovin em right word is bond

So just play Marvin Gaye and Let’s Get It On

I make it real good like Dr. Feelgood

To make sure that my point is understood

That when it comes to this there’s none greater

Sincerely yours… the smooth operator

cause I’m so smooth… -→Rakim

Now ain’t that the pot callin the kettle black

Sayin I’m a new jack, you need to be smacked

The smooth way I say em and the way I display em to make them sound different in a way that’s gifted

and hey I’m, makin sure every lyric is done fine

And I make one line, bright as the sunshine

Attack you like Robatussin on a cough

If you know like I know -- step off!

Competition, I’ma get rid of You can’t get a bit of, so just consider

a break or rest vacation hibernation

And make way for my smooth operation

I’m a smooth operator

cause I’m so smooth… -→Rakim

Ahhhhh yeahhh, and you don’t stop

Genuine for eighty-nine

And I still ain’t half-steppin, peace!
