Big Daddy Kane
Produced by Big Daddy Kane
[Verse 1]
Well excuse me, take a few minutes, to mellow out
Big Daddy Kane is on the mic and I'mma tell about
A minimum length, of rhymes of strength
And power, so listen to the man of the hour
Flow and go to a slow tempo and you know
Sing ho, swing low, then yo the show
Will go on, as I perform
Transformin on stage like a Decepticon
But I'm not animated like a cartoon
I'm for real, shootin lyrics like a harpoon
Across the crowd, the listeners, the spectators
So let's groove with the smooth operator
[Hook]
"Cause I'm so smooth..."
[Hook]
"Cause I'm so smooth..."
[Verse 2]
Now girls step up to this
One simple kiss, and it's over, Miss
Sold to nice dreamers, high as the price seem
Girlfriend, you been scooped like ice cream
So just swing or fling a gathering, try to cling
Cause It's a Big Daddy Thing
And I'm lovin em right, word is bond
So just play Marvin Gaye and Let's Get It On
I make it real good like Dr. Feelgood
To make sure that my point is understood
That when it comes to this there's none greater
Sincerely yours... the smooth operator
[Hook]
"Cause I'm so smooth..."
[Verse 3]
Now ain't that the pot callin' the kettle black
Sayin' I'm a new jack, you need to be smacked
The smooth way I say 'em and the way I display 'em
To make them sound different in a way that's gifted
And hey I'm, makin sure every lyric is done fine
And I make one line, bright as the sunshine
Attack you like Robitussin on a cough
If you know like I know -- step off
Competition, I'mma get rid of
You can't get a bit of, so just consider
A break or rest, vacation, hibernation
And make way for my smooth operation
I'm a smooth operator
[Hook]
"Cause I'm so smooth..."
From the album/CD “It’s a Big Daddy Thing,” this classic Kane track uses the bass line from
Mary Jane Girls‘ “All Night Long” to lay down a funky, mellow groove that suits the titular
character perfectly.
“Smooth Operator” is also a furthering of the competition between Kane and fellow NYC rapper
Rakim. Not only does “Smooth Operator” sample Rakim’s line “‘cause…

Smooth Operator
Big Daddy Kane
Produced by Big Daddy Kane
[Verse 1]
Well excuse me, take a few minutes, to mellow out
Big Daddy Kane is on the mic and I'mma tell about
A minimum length, of rhymes of strength
And power, so listen to the man of the hour
Flow and go to a slow tempo and you know
Sing ho, swing low, then yo the show
Will go on, as I perform
Transformin on stage like a Decepticon
But I'm not animated like a cartoon
I'm for real, shootin lyrics like a harpoon
Across the crowd, the listeners, the spectators
So let's groove with the smooth operator
[Hook]
"Cause I'm so smooth..."
[Hook]
"Cause I'm so smooth..."
[Verse 2]
Now girls step up to this
One simple kiss, and it's over, Miss
Sold to nice dreamers, high as the price seem
Girlfriend, you been scooped like ice cream
So just swing or fling a gathering, try to cling
Cause It's a Big Daddy Thing
And I'm lovin em right, word is bond
So just play Marvin Gaye and Let's Get It On
I make it real good like Dr. Feelgood
To make sure that my point is understood
That when it comes to this there's none greater
Sincerely yours... the smooth operator
[Hook]
"Cause I'm so smooth..."
[Verse 3]
Now ain't that the pot callin' the kettle black
Sayin' I'm a new jack, you need to be smacked
The smooth way I say 'em and the way I display 'em
To make them sound different in a way that's gifted
And hey I'm, makin sure every lyric is done fine
And I make one line, bright as the sunshine
Attack you like Robitussin on a cough
If you know like I know -- step off
Competition, I'mma get rid of
You can't get a bit of, so just consider
A break or rest, vacation, hibernation
And make way for my smooth operation
I'm a smooth operator
[Hook]
"Cause I'm so smooth..."
From the album/CD “It’s a Big Daddy Thing,” this classic Kane track uses the bass line from
Mary Jane Girls‘ “All Night Long” to lay down a funky, mellow groove that suits the titular
character perfectly.
“Smooth Operator” is also a furthering of the competition between Kane and fellow NYC rapper
Rakim. Not only does “Smooth Operator” sample Rakim’s line “‘cause…
