Death Sentence Lyrics by Big Daddy Kane

Death Sentence Lyrics

    I break out in a cold sweat, rip up the whole set
    I'm about as bad as you can get
    Comin' from Bed-Stuy, that's where they do or die
    Forget about the lions and tigers and bears, oh my
    It's not a fairy tale, a myth, it's a musical uplift
    and I'm the wrong one to mess with
    I roll on rappers like a Cherokee, bake 'em up merrily
    just like the cooks at Sara Lee
    Erase, replace, disgrace, and chase, unlace your face
    and place a neck brace, about-face
    And get to steppin', because my lethal weapon
    is blowin' too fast, while you're slow as Catherine Hepburn
    What you need is a little more speed, style and flavor
    but it still wouldn't save ya
    So to the rear, step off and let the man flex
    cuz I can hang tighter to the groove than spandex
    I snatch the mic whith grace, always with a plan
    and Cee'll cut the recored up like Edward Scissorhands
    Rock the soul shack, I can't hold back
    Four years standin' and I still got the knack
    Cuz I remember when I first did it
    the comments that were goin' around from the next critic
    Like "Yeah, he sound alright, but still will he hold?"
    And now my black ass is still here like Billy Joel
    One hip-hopper that don't have to sound proper
    My broken English you can still distinguish
    And I don't have no image or no gimmicks
    and I don't have no bounds or no limits
    The Kane'll keep goin', and growin', and flowin'
    and showin' any MC, I got the best finesse to manifest
    Cuz I pull cards like some type of retard
    Hittin' MCs hard, and any other Rass Claaad
    I'm the predator to any competitor
    Scorchin' and damagin' and stompin' et cetera
    And any MC that tries to test me
    I'm swellin' up his jaws mor than Dizzy Gillespie
    Crushin' all dreams you thought were possible
    I turn into nightmares you have in the hospital
    I couldn't count the rappes I be servin'
    If defeat was sex, huh, I'd be a virgin
    My match ain't been found, movin' around, breakin' 'em down
    where the ground, never the clown, how that sound?
    Don't get gassed, cuz boy you won't last
    so take your crippled rhymes and put 'em in a cast
    You're too pathetic, bring in a paramedic
    to heal your sick rhymes, cuz man, you ain't poetic
    You're just a cheap little hooker and I gotta overlook a
    MC that's wack, ya little bogger
    And stand clear of the mic that I'm rippin'
    as I'm......???
    And get your jury and a good defendant
    cuz I'm servin' a death sentence...
