Big Daddy Kane is on the mic and I'ma tell about
 a minimum length, of rhymes of strength
 and power, so listen to the man of the hour
 Flow and go to a slow tempo and you know
 sing hoe, swing low, then yo the show
 will go on, as I perform
 Transformin on stage like a Decepticon
 But I'm not animated like a cartoon
 I'm for real, shootin lyrics like a harpoon
 Across the crowd, the listeners, the spectators
 So let's groove with the smooth operator

 "cause I'm so smooth..." --> Rakim
 (repeat 2X)

 The B-I-G, D-A-double-D-Y-K-A-N-E
 I'm good and plenty, servin many and any
 competition, wishin for an expedition
 I'm straight up dissin and dismissin, listen
 Rappers act so wild, and love to profile
 Frontin hard but ain't got no style
 I give nightmares to those who compete
 Freddy Kreuger, walkin on Kane Street
 Confuse and lose abuse and bruise the crews
 who choose to use my name wrong, they pay dues
 Destruction from the exterminator
 But in a calm manner, cause I'm a smooth operator

 "cause I'm so smooth..." --> Rakim
 (repeat 2X)

 Now girls step up to this
 One simple kiss, and it's over Miss
 Sold to nice dreamers, high as the price seem
 girlfriend, you been scooped like ice cream
 So just swing or fling a gathering try to cling
 Cause It's a Big Daddy Thing
 And I'm lovin em right word is bond
 So just play Marvin Gaye and Let's Get It On
 I make it real good like Dr. Feelgood
 To make sure that my point is understood
 That when it comes to this there's none greater
 Sincerely yours... the smooth operator

 "cause I'm so smooth..." --> Rakim
 (repeat 2X)

 Now ain't that the pot callin the kettle black
 Sayin I'm a new jack, you need to be smacked
 The smooth way I say em and the way I display em
 to make them sound different in a way that's gifted
 and hey I'm, makin sure every lyric is done fine
 And I make one line, bright as the sunshine
 Attack you like Robatussin on a cough
 If you know like I know -- step off!
 Competition, I'ma get rid of
 You can't get a bit of, so just consider
 a break or rest vacation hibernation
 And make way for my smooth operation
 I'm a smooth operator

 "cause I'm so smooth..." --> Rakim
 (repeat 2X)

 Ahhhhh yeahhh, and you don't stop
 Genuine for eighty-nine
 And I still ain't half-steppin, peace
