I Keep the Crowd Listening

[Intro] Attention (Ladies and gentlemen) We have Lord Finesse (Yeah, it's him again) (Why don't you get the place pumping, come on, say a little something!) [Verse 1] Alright, let me kick this fly intro Somethin that's smooth but quite simple This is my type of groove, so don't make plans I don't care if you hop skip or breakdance Don't worry cause you'll get your chance yet To get funky and kick the fly dance steps At a show I try to maintain discipline I keep you moving, but also listenin [Hook] "Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" "Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" [Verse 2] Think I'm funky? I'll be funkier tomorrow Yo, I'm one tough act to follow Rip up mics when it's time to throw down Make MC's say: "I don't even wanna go now" All I need is a mic and a hype groove Two dancers and my DJ Mike Smooth To spin the wheels and make you shake your body I kick a party like I know karate Better yet like I was kickin a volleyball I step on stage get raw, then I'm outty, y'all Here we go now, so just stand back I take a ho, a cheer, or a handclap Get raw off the same drum while MC's remain dumb Don't worry cause there's more where that came from I'm not the type of brother to kick a small rap Get swift and make a hit and think I'm all that Cause I elevate, make the fellas break I drink a 40, lay back, and just celebrate Shoot and flip the rhymes because I'm swift and wise Lord Finesse will keep the crowd hypnotized [Hook] "Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" "Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" "Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" [Verse 3] I'm the Technician a.k.a. the rhyme arranger Have old folks saying "Who was that stranger?" It's Lord Finesse, so don't forget to tell em that Pass me a mic and roll down the welcome mat I don't front when it's time to kick a rhyme or two I get raw and show the crowd what I could do And steal a show before others have a chance to By givin party people somethin funky to dance to Kickin the lyrics and let the beat get them Man, I sound groovy even on a weak system I warm up the scene like a bottle of brandy And if that fails, then I just go to Plan B But once I start there's no need to slow down As soon as I say "One two, here we go now" Rhymes I say structure and analyze Then say to myself downlow "Goddamn, I'm fly" Rhymes'll stay when I'm gone like a fossile I'm livin large, stupendous, colossal Me and Mike Smooth, we're so magnificent We keep the crowd movin, but also listenin [Outro] "Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" "Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" "Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" "Everyone is moving, but eager to listen"
