One Foot In The Door (feat. Big Daddy Kane)
[Jay-Z interview about Saigon]
[Intro - Saigon]
Yeah, Preme ('The kid Saigon')
Cocksuckers thought they was gonna buy my soul, for a couple hundred thousand ('The kid Saigon')
Yeah know I'm saying
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)
[Verse 1 - Saigon]
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 dun went on the internet and been a wreck
Say Rick Ross and 2chainz should get chin checked
But then I drop thirty minutes of intellect
That woulda been neglected had I not pegged it with disrespect
Say no disrespect
Everybody got they own set of problems, I got (?) I this in fact (disinfect?)
It's fucking absurd, ...
...
Pimpin in the top ten, right behind Rakim
In front of Big Daddy Kane ('no sir'), nah I'm only playin
I ain't fuckin with Kane (Cain), but it's a lotta niggas
Y'all can name and I tear em niggas outta the frame
Bang this in your old school box, ain't the Ipod days
This for niggas that had high top fades
This for niggas with the (?)
That rocked shell tops when it was (?)
Stocking (?) for the waves
I can take you to the days
[Be]fore the greatest story was ever told
I was letting in barellas on low
Shooting (?), gunfire coming from both ways
Couple niggas was targets, couple just caused strays
Now I said selling coke pays in the Illmatic days
Nowadays they offer you coke (?)
Sai's in an (?) family
You ain't got the grammar and goin hand to hand with me is insanity
You need to examine me
Take a close look at the crook
That the valley and the brook cold cooked
Take a look at the work that I put
Two albums, mixtapes and a book
And I only got one foot
[Hook - Saigon]
One foot in the door, but I fell on my knee
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 (x3)(w/ scratches by DJ Premier)
[Pre-Verse - Big Daddy Kane]
Okay, Okay, I see what you doing with it baby
You down in the sprint position and whatnot man
Waiting for someone to pass the baton in the money marathon
That's what it is, you know you can't just run with it, you got to come with it
So um, I'll be up there waiting for you at the finish line
[Verse 2 - Big Daddy Kane]
[Outro - Saigon]
These niggas dead Kane, I swear to god they're dead
Swear to God, it's The Yardfather man
I ain't holding back no more on these motherfuckers 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
[Scratches + Samples - DJ Premier]
