Now let me tell you who I [G] am.
The B-I-G-G-A-D-D [C]-Y-K-A-N [Gm]-E.

Asiatic.
Not like many.
I'm different.

Cause they can't hang.
Word to the [G] mother.
At least I did [Ab] the principle in this pedigree.
[Gm] So when I roll on you rappers, you better [Am] be ready.
To die because you're [Bb] petty.
You're just a part of life.
I'm a [G] machete.
This ain't my kin [C] suit.
Wait until when [Gm] you.
Drop the front, so I can chop [Am] into your body.
Just because you try to be [Bb] bassin'.
Friday the 13th, I'm a play [G] Jason.
[D] No problem, don't get game.
Puzzle or riddle.
The name [Gm] is Big Daddy.
Yes, big.
Not little.
[Am] So define it.
Dig a walk in paper.
Slide [Bb] it.
And take a walk.
Ask the king's father for [G] a cut.
[F]
[G] I'm the Big Daddy King.
[Am]
[Gm] [C]
[G] [Gm] My [Am]
[G] rhymes are so dope and the rappers be hopin'.
To sound like me so soon, I'll have to [Am] open.
A school of MCing for those who wanna be [Bb] in.
My field's a court.
Then again on second thought.
[G] The half of these coming [Ab] out soundin' so [Gm] similar.
It's quite confusing for you to remember [Am] the originator.
And boy do I hate [Bb] her.
Perpetrator.
But I'm much greater.
[G] The best, [D] oh yes I guess, suggests the best.
[G] Your best will mess or test your highness.
Unless [E] you just address with best finesse [Gm] and bless the [Bb] paragraph.
I manifest.
[G] Rap Prime Minister.
Some say sinister.
Non-stop in the groove [Gm] until [F] witness.
The [Am] climax, climax, relax and chill.
[Bb] Have a break from a take a meat acting pill.
[Fm] Brain cells are lit.
Ideas [Gm] start to hit.
Next to the formation of words that fit.
[E] At the table I sit.
Making it legit.
And [Bb] when my pen hits the [Ab] paper.
Aw shit.
I start to stand strong over MCs and devour.
[Gm] With the power of Hercules [Am] or Samson.
But I go further than limp.
Cause [Bb] you can scout my cameo and I still have strength.
[G] And no that's not a mip [D] and if.
You try to rip or get [Gm] whipped.
The man with the giving gift [E] of gab.
Your vocab I only ignore.
[Bb] Be sleeping on your rhymes till I start to snore.
[Fm] You can't awake me or even make [Gm] me.
Bear your son cause you can't do me none.
[E] So think about it if you're trying to go.
[Bb] When you want to step to me I think you should know.
[G] That [Cm] ain't no half step.
[G] Ain't [C] no half step.
[Gm] I'm a big daddy.
Ain't [Cm] no half step.
[G] [Gm] I'm a big daddy.
[E]
[Gm] [Fm] I appear right here and scare and dare.
A mere [Gm] musketeer that would dare to compare.
Put him in [Am] the rear.
Back there where he can't see clear.
[Bb] Get up here.
Idea on near steer.
Yeah.
[D] Forced to be.
Wanna be.
Competition.
Trying to [Gm] step to me.
Must be on a [Am] mission.

You think I'm losing?
Picture [G] that.
Ain't [Cm] no half step.
[Gm] [Am] Ain't no half step.
[Bb] [F] Ain't no [Cm] half step.
[Gm] [A] Ain't [F] no half step.

[G] The [C]
[Gm] [Bb] [G]
[Ab]
[Gm] name is [F] Big Daddy.
You know.
As in your father.
[Gm] So when you hear a death rhyme, believe that I'm the [Am] author.
I grab the mic and make them see it [Bb] evaporate.
The party people say, damn, that rap [G] is great.
[N] The creator, conductor of [Gm] poetry, et cetera, et cetera.
It ain't easy being me.
[Am] I speak [E] clearly so you can [Bb] understand.
Put words together like letter man.
Now [G] that's dictation.
Proceeding to my [C] innovation.
[Gm] Not like the other MCs that are an [Am] imitation, or an animation, a cartoon to [Bb] me.
But when I'm finished, I'm sure that you'll soon [G] see reality
My [D] secret technique, [Gm] because I always speak with mentality
I [Am] put my title in your face, dare you to face it
[Bb] If you try to come get it, yo, I'ma show you who's with it
So [Fm] if you don't like, I know, instead of messing around
[G] Play like Roy Rogers and slow low down
[E] Give yourself a break, or someone else will [Bb] take your title
Namely me, because I'm [Fm] homicidal, that means murder
You sound like the herder, [Gm] another MC
Try to get with me, I'll just break em' and make em' and [G] rake em' and take em' and mold em' and make em'
