Album: Funky Technician

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
";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
