Lord Finesse - I Keep the Crowd Listening lyrics

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!)

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 dancesteps

At a show I try to maintain discipline

I keep you moving, but also listenin

"Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" - Cut and scratched 2x

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

"Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" - Cut and scratched 2x

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, stupenous, collossal

Me and Mike Smooth, we're so magnificient

We keep the crowd movin, but also listenin

"Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" - Cut and scratched 4x
