Who Am I - Big Daddy Kane[00:00:00]

"I was born "[00:00:10]

A black man from the motherland[00:00:11]

Speakin a language today most people don't understand[00:00:13]

Where no one could bother me[00:00:17]

Cause I had freedom justice and equality[00:00:18]

But then one day it was tooken away[00:00:21]

And I was shipped to the U S A [00:00:23]

A young brother made into a slave[00:00:25]

To harvest the midlands and clean the chittlins[00:00:28]

Given a new name new religion[00:00:30]

No freedom to vote not even to make a decision[00:00:32]

I saw my peoples sold raped and took out[00:00:35]

The rest of that stuff that Alex Haley talks about[00:00:38]

They said I'm not from Asia I'm from Africa[00:00:40]

And all the blacks there now are just scavengers[00:00:42]

That's the way my mind was poisoned[00:00:44]

To believe that in America blacks are inferior[00:00:47]

A weak mind and a body of swine[00:00:49]

Only adds up to being - deaf dumb and blind[00:00:52]

Illiterate to who where what and why[00:00:55]

So I ask myself: who am I [00:00:57]

"I was born "[00:01:03]

A native New Yorker on the streets[00:01:09]

Known for rockin rhymes to real rough beats[00:01:11]

That I found in the attic noisy with static[00:01:13]

A sound that made me a hip-hop fanatic[00:01:15]

I made a few songs that sold OK[00:01:18]

Never top 20 or plenty airplay[00:01:20]

I came out hardcore flexin cock diesel[00:01:22]

Saw a little cash and pop goes the weasel[00:01:25]

I had to make that change and rearrange[00:01:28]

My whole rap format no hardcore rap[00:01:30]

So now all the pop charts I rule[00:01:33]

Over New Kids on the Block and Paula Abdul huh[00:01:35]

I thought I made it then my song faded[00:01:37]

And none of the black stations ever have played it[00:01:40]

I tried to blame it on MTV[00:01:42]

And say "Damn they cold played me for Young MC"[00:01:44]

But when you get down to it I'm the real blame[00:01:47]

Because I wanted the fame[00:01:50]

Money is not only the root of all evil[00:01:52]

It's also the destruction of black people so[00:01:54]

Conjunction junction what's your function [00:01:57]

Bein a scout or sellin out [00:02:00]

Look in the mirror at yourself eye to eye[00:02:02]

And say: who am I [00:02:05]

A solid change have to rearrange this strange[00:02:08]

Feelin I'm feelin so appealin[00:02:28]

I am having to deal with[00:02:30]

Time to forget the myth of bein black and a woman[00:02:32]

Can't get ahead walkin on a thread a tightrope[00:02:36]

Can't cope don't be a d**e have a little bit of hope[00:02:38]

Runnin your scope on affairs[00:02:41]

You have to be aware don't flare up[00:02:43]

Let your cup runneth over[00:02:45]

I'm not Irish don't need a donut to fill up my dish[00:02:46]

Nor two mango wish to wish on a star they're so far[00:02:50]

Anyway I'm thinkin about today not tomorrow[00:02:54]

I'm not a follower of anyone[00:02:56]

My time has come it's already here[00:02:59]

My message is clear[00:03:01]

Like the women of long ago I am also here[00:03:03]

Also to show I have the courage[00:03:06]

Have the strength I'm for equal opportunity[00:03:09]

No matter the life length of time[00:03:11]

Show me a sign should I rely on a[00:03:13]

Subliminal message should I question[00:03:16]

What would seem to be life's told me [00:03:18]

Yes indeed so let me speak[00:03:21]

And that's comin from the daughter of Malcolm X[00:03:23]

So black women put it in your texts[00:03:26]

So you can never let opportunity pass you by[00:03:28]

Or even ask yourself who am I[00:03:30]
