Saigon, Big Daddy Kane - One Foot In The Door lyrics

This thing is

Who’s the next hot artist that you
Would say is coming out?

Wow

Just on the scene

I don’t know, man uh
It’s a couple people that got a shot i mean

Like who?

Uh TI has a shot he has a real shot uh
Lil’ Wayne has a shot fabolous has
A shot there’s a lot of

Someone we’ve never heard of, though?

Oh, I don’t know… Oh
Maybe Saigon the kid Saigon

Saigon?

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, Preme ("The kid Saigon")
Cocksuckers thought they was gonna
Buy my soul, for a couple hundred thousand
("The kid Saigon") you know what'm sayin’?
Illuminati for a car and a
Shiny chain, for a watch, a shiny watch
Nah nigga, I'm Saigon (Press the reset, man)
Never, I'm Saigon (Don't do it)

Y'all want me to make up
A character and be it
That's what I gotta for you people
To have to see it
Why should I have to get shot
In my back to achieve it?
Or be dead or paraplegic for
These cats to believe it? I breathe it
I done went on the internet and been a wreck
Said Rick Ross and 2
Chainz should get chin-checked
But then I dropped thirty
Minutes of intellect
That would’ve been neglected had I
Not pegged it with disrespect
So no disrespect
Everybody got they own set of problems
I got dirt I gotta disinfect
It's fucking absurd
Swerve like I'm huggin' the curb
After guzzling couple cups of the Bourb’
Pimpin’ in the top ten, right behind Rakim
In front of Big Daddy Kane
("No, Sai") I'm only playin’
I ain't fuckin with Kane but
It's a lotta niggas
Y'all can name and I tear
Them niggas outta the frame
Bang this in your old school box
This ain't the iPod days
This for niggas that had high-top fades
This for niggas with the eyes I grazed
That rocked shell tops when
They was shell tops
"Stocking Caps" for the waves
I can take you to the days (What?)
‘Fore the Greatest Story was Ever Told
I was letting ‘em Berettas unload
Shooting up clubs
Gunfire coming from both ways
Couple niggas was targets
Couple just caught strays
Now I said selling coke pays
In the Illmatic days
Nowadays, they offer you coke go that-a way
Sai's an anamaly (anomaly) , family
You ain't got the grammar and goin’ hand
To hand with me is insanity
You need to examine me
Take a closer look at the crook
That the valley and the brook cold cooked
Take a look at the work that I put
Two albums, some mixtapes and a book
And I only got one foot

One foot in the door
But, I feel I’mma need one more
Without that, I am just unsure
I wanna give it my all
Wanna go balls to the wall
But, I only got one foot in the door
I got one foot in the door

Okay, okay, I see what you doing with it baby
(See that?) yeah, you down in the sprint
Position and whatnot man (Ready)
Waiting for someone to pass the
Baton in the money marathon (Ready)
That's what it is you know you
Can't just run with it
You got to come with it (Coming with it)
So um, i'll be up there waiting for you
At the finish line let’s go

You know it's something ‘bout that name Big
As in me, Small's a pun we all can gun
Remorse is none ‘cause we bosses, son
And that’s the type of shit
That you don't see often, son
Now line 'em up so I can body all sets
I need to rhyme in front of volleyball nets
So y'all can catch that shit that
It went over your head
Yo, what he said can over you’re dead
I’m so eager ta just hold heat ta ya
Y’all get tough in front of social media
I ain’t a Twitter thug
Nigga I’m a split-a mug nigga
When y’all set the bar, I’mma get above nigga
Too much shit here be genetically made
And MC’s don’t give a fuck like, "Forget it
We paid" (These niggas is) Frontin’ until
They just pathetically fade
And that’s a new wack rapper in
The bed that he laid

These niggas dead, Kane i swear to God they
Dead swear to God, it's The Yardfather
Man i ain't holding back no more on
These muhfuckers man shoutout to legendary
BDK, nigga Brooklyn's own motherfucker
Big Daddy Kane dJ Premier i got one foot in
The door preme, take us out of
Here the right way, baby hip-Hop, nigga
