I don't half-step on the 'caine

from Jay-Z (Ft. Lil Wayne) – Hello Brooklyn 2.0 Lyrics on Rap Genius

Quadruple Entendre!:

• A shout out to Big Daddy Kane, who had a classic song “Ain’t no Half-Steppin”, in which “half-steppin'” meant “acting fake”

• Jay-Z says he also doesn’t “half-step”, but in the sense that he doesn’t dilute the cocaine he distributes with filler material

• The Miami Hurricanes mascot is depicted in logo form in a “half stepping” motion. The school is known as the ‘caines, and has been associated with cocaine in an ESPN documentary

• Jay Z doesn’t limp around with a walking cane

Jay Z has a similar line in the song “Fuck all Night”:

Like I walk with a cane, ain’t no half-steppin!

Where “cane” is a triple entendre: ((co)caine, (walking) cane, (Big Daddy) Kane).
