| [00:00.00] |
Well excuse me, take a few minutes, to mellow out |
| [00:13.71] |
Big daddy kane is on the mic and i'ma tell about |
| [00:16.22] |
A minimum length, of rhymes of strength |
| [00:18.93] |
And power, so listen to the man of the hour |
| [00:21.31] |
Flow and go to a slow tempo and you know |
| [00:24.31] |
Sing hoe, swing low, then yo the show |
| [00:29.15] |
Transformin on stage like a decepticon |
| [00:31.71] |
But i'm not animated like a cartoon |
| [00:34.03] |
I'm for real, shootin lyrics like a harpoon |
| [00:36.83] |
Across the crowd, the listeners, the spectators |
| [00:39.91] |
So let's groove with the smooth operator |
| [00:45.66] |
just ~ i'm so smooth |
| [00:56.42] |
just ~ i'm so smooth |
| [01:02.51] |
The b-i-g, d-a-double-d-y-k-a-n-e |
| [01:05.46] |
I'm good and plenty, servin many and any |
| [01:07.99] |
Competition, wishin for an expedition |
| [01:10.66] |
I'm straight up dissin and dismissin, listen |
| [01:12.98] |
Rappers act so wild, and love to profile |
| [01:16.09] |
Frontin hard but ain't got no style |
| [01:18.81] |
I give nightmares to those who compete |
| [01:21.05] |
Freddy kreuger, walkin on kane street |
| [01:23.85] |
Confuse and lose abuse and bruise the crews |
| [01:25.81] |
Who choose to use my name wrong, they pay dues |
| [01:28.71] |
Destruction from the exterminator |
| [01:31.45] |
But in a calm manner, cause i'm a smooth operator |
| [01:36.86] |
just ~ i'm so smooth |
| [01:47.78] |
just ~ i'm so smooth |
| [01:54.93] |
Now girls step up to this |
| [01:56.87] |
One simple kiss, and it's over miss |
| [01:58.59] |
Sold to nice dreamers, high as the price seem |
| [02:02.38] |
Girlfriend, you been scooped like ice cream |
| [02:05.02] |
So just swing or fling a gathering try to cling |
| [02:08.39] |
Cause it's a big daddy thing |
| [02:10.55] |
And i'm lovin em right word is bond |
| [02:12.75] |
So just play marvin gaye and let's get it on |
| [02:15.91] |
I make it real good like dr. feelgood |
| [02:18.05] |
To make sure that my point is understood |
| [02:20.59] |
That when it comes to this there's none greater |
| [02:23.22] |
Sincerely yours... the smooth operator |
| [02:29.28] |
just ~ i'm so smooth |
| [02:38.82] |
just ~ i'm so smooth |
| [02:46.29] |
Now ain't that the pot callin the kettle black |
| [02:49.16] |
Sayin i'm a new jack, you need to be smacked |
| [02:51.62] |
The smooth way i say em and the way i display em |
| [02:54.28] |
To make them sound different in a way that's gifted |
| [02:56.77] |
And hey i'm, makin sure every lyric is done fine |
| [02:59.67] |
And i make one line, bright as the sunshine |
| [03:02.09] |
Attack you like robatussin on a cough |
| [03:04.55] |
If you know like i know -- step off! |
| [03:07.40] |
Competition, i'ma get rid of |
| [03:09.93] |
You can't get a bit of, so just consider |
| [03:12.39] |
A break or rest vacation hibernation |
| [03:14.97] |
And make way for my smooth operation |
| [03:17.56] |
I'm a smooth operator |
| [03:20.35] |
just ~ i'm so smooth |
| [03:31.17] |
just ~ i'm so smooth |
| [03:34.46] |
Intro |
| [04:06.96] |
I wanna give to you, give to you |
| [04:20.54] |
Ahhhhh yeahhh, and you don't stop |
| [04:25.40] |
Genuine for eighty-nine |
| [04:27.72] |
And i still ain't half-steppin, peace! |
