Smooth Operator

[00:04.30] I'm gonna give it to you
[00:07.63] I'm gonna give it to you, give it to you, give it to you, give it to you
[00:10.16] Well, excuse me, take a few minutes to mellow out
[00:13.46] Big Daddy Kane is on the mic and I'ma tell about
[00:15.64] A minimum length, of rhymes of strength
[00:17.99] And power, so listen to the man of the hour
[00:20.89] Flow and go to a slow tempo and you know
[00:23.86] Sing ho, swing low, then yo, the show
[00:26.35] Will go on, as I perform
[00:28.40] Transformin' on stage like a Decepticon
[00:31.23] But I'm not animated like a cartoon
[00:33.49] I'm for real, shootin' lyrics like a harpoon
[00:36.70] Across the crowd, to listeners and spectators
[00:39.24] So let's groove with the smooth operator
[00:45.20] 'Cause I'm so smooth
[00:55.54] 'Cause I'm so smooth
[00:59.43] I'm gonna give it to you, give it to you, give it to you, give it to you
[01:02.23] The B-I-G, D-A-double-D-Y-K-A-N-E
[01:04.59] I'm good and plenty, servin' many and any
[01:07.17] Competition, wishin' for an expedition
[01:09.97] I'm straight up dissin' and dismissin', listen
[01:12.62] Rappers act so wild, and love to profile
[01:15.60] Frontin' hard but ain't got no style
[01:18.05] I give nightmares to those who compete
[01:20.69] Freddy Kreuger, walkin' on Kane Street
[01:22.99] Confuse and lose, abuse and bruise the crews
[01:25.35] Who choose to use my name wrong, they pay dues
[01:28.57] Destruction from the exterminator
[01:30.73] But in a calm manner, 'cause I'm a smooth operator
[01:37.01] 'Cause I'm so smooth
[01:47.38] 'Cause I'm so smooth
[01:51.22] I'm gonna give it to you, give it to you, give it to you, give it to you
[01:54.71] Now girls, step up to this
[01:56.42] One simple kiss, and it's over, miss
[01:59.27] Sold to nice dreamers, high as the price seem
[02:01.57] Girlfriend, you been scooped like ice cream
[02:04.77] So just swing or fling a gathering, try to cling
[02:07.97] 'Cause It's a Big Daddy Thing
[02:10.02] And I'm lovin' 'em right, word is bond
[02:11.92] So just play Marvin Gaye and let's get it on
[02:15.15] I make it real good like Dr. Feelgood
[02:17.76] To make sure that my point is understood
[02:20.28] That when it comes to this, there's none greater
[02:22.60] Sincerely yours, the smooth operator
[02:28.76] 'Cause I'm so smooth
[02:39.40] 'Cause I'm so smooth
[02:43.05] I'm gonna give it to you, give it to you, give it to you, give it to you
[02:45.89] Now ain't that the pot callin' the kettle black
[02:48.25] Sayin' I'm a new jack, you need to be smacked
[02:51.10] The smooth way I say 'em and the way I display 'em
[02:53.42] To make them sound different in a way that's gifted
[02:56.02] And hey, I'm makin' sure every lyric is done fine
[02:58.77] And I make one line bright as the sunshine
[03:01.36] Attackin' like Robitussin on a cough
[03:03.92] If you know like I know, step off
[03:06.97] Competition, I'ma get rid of
[03:09.17] You can't get a bit of, so just consider
[03:11.72] A break or rest, vacation, hibernation
[03:14.69] And make way for my smooth operation
[03:16.79] I'm a smooth operator
[03:20.63] 'Cause I'm so smooth
[03:26.38] I'm gonna give it to you
[03:31.10] 'Cause I'm so smooth
[03:36.74] I'm gonna give it to you
[03:41.98] I'm gonna give it to you
[03:47.07] I'm gonna give it to you
[03:52.34] I'm gonna give it to you
[03:55.55] I'm gonna give it to you, give it to you, give it to you, give it to you
[04:05.83] I'm gonna give it to you, give it to you, give it to you, give it to you
[04:16.31] I'm gonna give it to you, give it to you, give it to you, give it to you
[04:20.19] Ah yeah, and you don't stop
[04:24.67] Genuine for '89
[04:27.04] And I still ain't half-steppin', peace
