Lord Finesse & Dj Mike Smooth

I Keep The Crowd Listening
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 [Cut and scratched x2] "Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" 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 SongtexteI 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 [Cut and scratched x2] "Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" 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 [Cut and scratched x4] "Everyone is moving, but eager to listen" Aus Songtexte Mania
