It's Hard Being the Kane

Uh, put your weight on it, uh

And uh, Prince Paul, bring me on

An uh, ay, yo, Botch, bring me on

And uh, Mad Money Murph, just bring me on

And uh, uh, just bring me on, yo

This is a world premier and I'm here

A presentation beyond compare

So, emcees, step to the rear as I break through

Girls, say, "Ooh" and then skip to my loo

That means dance as I get smooth with

Poetic perfection that you can groove with

Just like a passenger, hurry and fasten your seatbelt

'Cause I'm about to start broadcastin' the words of wisdom

So, turn up the system, loud and clear

I don't want no one to miss one

Word to be heard, nothing's blurred or slurred

Or referred as absurd, all the damage that's occurred

As I break emcees like a lumberjack

Ain't no comin' back, you can't get none of that

I'm not the type of emcee to be merciful

So if the name ain't Jermaine, take it personal

'Cause like a vigilante, I'm gonna kill off any

Sucker emcee that tries to withstand me

With a mic in my hand, I start flowin' then

All competition flee and start goin' in

The other direction, run for protection

'Cause I can burn an emcee like an erection

You're too small, kid, don't get involved with

The verbal law for the Nation of Islam

Wisdom I speak makes your head nod

Showin' I got the power and that's from bein' born the God

But many doubt my knowledge of self

But they're just illiterate, so, I don't consider it

Feedin' off poison that's pollutin' their mind

And that's the reason I don't swine

I gotta maintain, accelerate my brain

And God damn, it's hard being the Kane

Give it to me, come on (Yeah, Kane)

Come on, uh (Yeah, Kane)

Give it to me, give it here (Yeah, Kane)

Give it to me, yeah (Yeah, Kane)

This is the proper way man should use ink

But you're at your brink and your rhymes are extinct

Just like a dinosaur, but you never find a more

'Cause mine'll keep sellin' on wax like some kinda whore

Let me inject this, flow of electric currency

For all the party people preferrin' me

And spectatin' like a tourist

'Cause you never saw this style of rap, kickin' like Chuck Norris

But this ain't Kung-Fu, no, I just brung you

A style, that phony emcees were to young to

Digest, when I manifest, you adolescent

So sit back, relax, be glad you had a lesson

And this one's for your listenin' pleasure

Somethin' for all the bitin' emcees to treasure

Just like a diary, for you to admire me

Before you're put in the Dead Poet's Society

Cool as a draft, droppin' math in a paragraph

I laugh as the wrath break in half, your whole staff

But many emcees were able to retreat

Runnin' like an athlete, but I got bad feet

So, I don't chase ya, nor do I wait to face ya

Nah, it ain't in my nature

I just rip shop, flip-top, and watch emcees get dropped

As I manifest in Hip-Hop

Rhymes I construct are tough like a Tonka truck

And just like lightning, they struck

Down on all the toy emcees that annoy

That's how I build and destroy

The poetic printer, rough rhyme inventor

With a groove so smooth, you can't help but get into

So, I'm advisin' competition to flee

'Cause I can bake an emcee like Chef Boyardee

Holdin' my own on the microphone

'Cause I break bones just like sticks and stones

So let it rain, let it rain as I put 'em in pain

God damn, it's hard bein' the Kane

Give it to me, get up (Yeah, Kane)

Come on, uh (Yeah, Kane)

Give it to me, come on (Yeah, Kane)

Give it to me, yeah (Yeah, Kane)

Put it on pause because here's the holocaust

Above all laws, in effect and all yours

'Cause I came to blaze a taste of bass of grace

A replace, erase the waste without a trace

My vocabulary will just have you very dazed and amazed

So I fear no adversary

That means competition, they can't even touch this

Even with ammunition

Break out the gauge and go into an outrage

And I'ma still blow up the stage

'Cause this is a death threat, but don't let your sweat get

In the way of your vision, don't be missin' when I get set

To go on a rampage, start a one man rage

Total destruction as I rip up the damn stage

And leave it in ruins from the damage that I'm doin'

To prepare the atmosphere as I put you in

The mood for the Smooth Operator to start this flow and so

I crushed and crushed and stomped the comp'

That tried to get fly and face the ace, I put 'em in place

Proceed 'em, retreat 'em, defeat 'em

Delete 'em and feed 'em and eat 'em

And all the rest of that good stuff 'cause I don't need 'em

Only one survivor can remain

And God damn, it's got to be the Kane

Get up, give it to me

Give it here, come on

Come on, give it to me

Uh, put your weight on it
