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"
