Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today
 for this somber occasion
 Please join us in the mourning of this U-47
 It was a great microphone in it's day
 until it met it's fate
 One evening while it was in the studio
 it was struck by the lyrical force of the Big Daddy Kane
 So ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
 May this microphone, rest, in peace..

 [Big Daddy Kane]
 Knock knock, guess who? Yes, ooh
 The Bigger the B, the Iggah the I,
 the Jigga the G is comin through
 Yes I'm the one with clout, they're all talkin bout
 To be frank, I have the flavor like sauerkraut
 The microphone assassinator and furthermore
 I murdered plenty rappers and believe that I'll murder more
 So if you ask to give the Kane a go
 You better treat me like drugs, and Just Say No
 Because I utilize my skills to brutilize
 And in a battle, man you should see what I do to guys
 Whenever the mic's mine, I'll rock a hype rhyme
 and come off, like dirty panties at nighttime
 Cause any mic that I caress, I finesse
 with zest, and just bless, best yet to progress
 King Asiatic, no other rapper stands this
 You couldn't be a King if you played hockey in Los Angeles
 I gets pi-daid, top gri-dade, gotta admit ey
 point blank, the kid's stri-daight
 Cause when it comes to R-A-P-P-I-N, huh
 I got it locked up like a bullpen

 "May you rest in peace" -> 3X
 "If this meaning doesn't manifest, put it to rest!" -> KRS-One

 [Big Daddy Kane]
 Rappers I get em and hit em and slit em and split em and rid em
 Acquit em, when I get wit em, you can tell that I did em
 I take em and shake em and bake em and ache em and break em
 and rake em, you can't awake em from the comatose way I make em
 Cause when you're messin with me -- you know what?
 You can swallow a live grenade and you STILL won't blow up!
 Pickin up the microphone you shouldn't dare
 It's like bein on a Stairmaster, climbin and goin nowhere
 You're perpetratin like you're ready and able
 but couldn't rock a show, if the stage was a cradle
 Your rhymes are old as an artifact, and you don't want no part of that
 So don't even start it black
 Anyone riffin I show them how I'm livin
 And give them some of that treatment like my man Michael Bivins
 I smack em up, flip em and then shove em down
 Huh, oh I-ah-ah-I-ah-I-ah-I don't be fuckin around
 To rip this microphone like this today
 since eighty-seven I came a LONG, LONG way
 To headlinin, all the way from supportin..
 .. and I know you've been watchin me Norton!
 Through my whole rap career, a lot of young, huh,
 rappers sat there, and listened, a lot of young, huh,
 rappers sat there, and wishin.. but..
 you couldn't see the Kane with X-Ray vision
 And just because you didn't see my crew for a few
 A lot of people thought the Wolfpack was through
 But if you think the Kane and Scoob and Scrap'll breakup
 I tell you like Marvin Gaye, "wake up.. wake up.. wake up.."
 Put it to rest, it's best to 'fess
 Because the Kane is breakin rappers like the IRS
 And consider this microphone the deceased
 Now may it rest in peace

 "May you rest in peace" -> 7X
