That's How I Did 'Em

Daddy Daddy tell me a story of how you took out that wack MC

No Daddy, tell them how you beat down that bootlegger

Daddy Daddy tell us a story!

[Big Daddy Kane]

Heh heh, alright, alright, alright y'all OK

Come on y'all, crowd around Daddy now OK? C'mon

Y'all just sit there and listen

I'mma tell you about the MC

And I'mma tell you about the bootlegger, OK?

Here we go children

[Verse 1]

It happened at a jam, some kid tried to sham on the program

So I had to silence the lamb and show him who I am

So I just set it off on my competitor

Freakin the funk as I hit em with crazy metaphors

Like back up off me Dukes, because you're trippin

You better dry your cranium off, cause your brain is slippin

You beatin me is somethin that I doubt

The only way you could bake Kane is workin in a crackhouse

No man alive can withstand the Kane flow

I kick so much flavor that my shoes look like a rainbow

You need a whole lot of practice, you thought that you was

On the money so I took you out like taxes!

Now you can Flea Off, releasin me G, easy be

To keep the great MC

Then I throw em I lean and mean record to spark

So I can school that ass just like Joe Clark

Next I translated, my rap is more educated

And made it complicated for him to illustrate it

My dexterity, put him in fear of me

And had his mind bewildered by everything he was hearin see

That was enough to slow his whole train of thought down

So I just speeded the pace up more than enough for him to come around

I triple the words, when makin the rhymes, whatever the rhythm

Puttin his mind in a prison

And oh yeah, that's how I did em

That's how I did em (HUH) that's how I did em (HAH)

That's how I did em (HUH) that's how I did em (HAH)

That's how I did em (HUH) that's how I did em (HAH)

That's how I did em (HEYYYYYYYY)

[Verse 2]

I was out flex, lookin cold sex in a Lex'

Sippin on a Beck's, pumpin the remix of Das EFX

Drive down 125th with my man

And what did I see, bein sold at the stand?

A bunch of bootleg tapes that he had claim on it

So I snatched everything with my name on it

And give me that Kool G. Rap tape, and give me that Ice Cube

And all the Wu-Tang joints, cause they're my boys too

A man tryin to make a livin, I can't knock it

But now you tried to take money out of my pocket

Word to Miz, what the problem is, is that the kids

Didn't buy it from The Wiz, they bought your shaky fibs so

Now it's time to move him off the block

Pass me the Glock cause I might make a body rock

And I'll break down sixteen shots

That's One + Eight + Seven on a undercover

Bootlegger, you're worse than a beggar

Makin a fake profit, stop it

Cause I work hard for the money, to make cash flow

To have another come along and take my dough

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

So I just told my man, aiyyo

Throw the tapes in the Lexus

Then we burned his whole stand down just like Waco, Texas

And then I jumped on the brother, with rage

Crushed his ribcage, damn did he get slayed

Cause I don't think he even know whatever hit him

Bootleggers beware, cause yeah I did em

That's how I did em (HUH) that's how I did em (HAH)

That's how I did em (HUH) that's how I did em (HAH)

That's how I did em (HUH) that's how I did em (HAH)

That's how I did em (HEYYYYYYYY)

[Verse 3]

Give it your best shot, bring it with all you got

And watch the bombs I drop just rock your knot

Cause it ain't wise to address me

I wouldn't advise a schoolteacher to test me

Cause I don't just do em, I run through em

And I don't just hurt, uh uh, I body work em

Lyrical torture, never could support ya

For steppin to me, agony is what it brought ya

Cause you never seen this type of lyrical genius

That could never be touched, and I mean this

So one love, I'mma leave you with the rhythm

Ain't no need to go off, cause yo hon know I did em

That's how I did em (HUH) that's how I did em (HAH)

That's how I did em (HUH) that's how I did em (HAH)

That's how I did em (HUH) that's how I did em (HAH)

That's how I did em (HEYYYYYYYY)
