Float - Big Daddy Kane

Manslaughter, walkin on water 
I stay afloat with a note, the way a boat oughta 
I'm too poetically inclined, one of a kind 
True and divine the genuine, breakin a bond and gettin mine 
so freeze, I'm makin it flow with ease 
And droppin the funkiest lyrics that ever been known to MC's 
Cause I can recite it fast, or even rap slow 
Huh, man I can just talk and my shit'll flow 
Because I mastered the rhythms of winnin lyric 
Hit em, just the flow itself'll tell you that I did em 
So let the K-to-the-A-to-the-N-to-the-E 
show you the meaning of real harmony, as I float 

Float.. float on 
Float on.. float on.. (repeat 2X) 

Peep this 
I'm always on the down-low, smooth and mild 
But when it's time to get wild, huh, you know my style 
I drop lyrics wham bam by the gram on a jam 
and gooooooood DAMN! 
It's like a disaster that nobody goes after 
Rappers turn ghost like Casper 
Cause battlin me, you'd only meet your fate 
You'd probably come out better tryin to fight in Kuwait 
To be smart, would be not to start 
Not even The Wiz can give you that much heart 
Rap is like an art.. and man you know 
that kind of makes me like Michaelangelo 
Not to sound conceited, or either to boast with what I said 
cause I'm too modest to ever lose my level head 
But if I ever got bold and said I'm higher 
I can give more reasons than Earth, Wind & Fire 
Many follow in the footsteps, tryin to get a rep 
of a lover and a smooth black brother 
But I'm knockin imitators out the box 
Because you couldn't copy Kane if your name was Xerox 
I'm like the God in light, some of my writing might 
be too much for your mind to explode like dynamite 
And if it sounds good to you then get on it doggone it 
Capture this like a Kodak moment as I float 

Float.. float on 
Float on.. float on.. (repeat 2X) 

In this third verse, I'll make it sure mental 
See the way that you serve rap's like a death penalty 
So back up off me, ain't nobody stoppin Kane 
I'm shittin on rappers like I never been potty trained 
That means defeatin deletin and beatin 
while all the tenderonis I'll be meatin and greatin and treatin 
And welcome to a new Terrordome 
When I come to roam, you know Daddy's Home 
Rhymes come at you full powered with might 
They call in the SWAT team when I start to write 
and declared my lyrics illegal weapons in every state 
So I can get five to ten for carryin a Papermate 
Just a little bitty taste of this'll burn so bad 
you'll wanna call me the Big Daddy Inferno 
So don't even think about a battle, I sail without a paddle 
In other words, I FLOAT 

Float.. float on 
Float on.. float on.. (repeat 2X)
