Keep It Flowing

[lord finesse]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have lord finesse and andre the giant

Here to get funky for you and yours tonight. so just about now,

Won't y'all brothers come to the stand and kick something funky

[a.g.]

A man thought he could test me and possess a better skill

His man shook his head and his mother said "you'd better chill"

Not from the old school nor from the new one

Do-run-run, move son, I'm the smooth one

Fast or slow, you know I still use it

And with my skill I even rock off church music

Get personal, and you might have to nurse a few

Clap or hum and I'll still kick a verse or two

Front like you can, you know you can't mess with this

Light this, get with this, I'm the best at this

Step to this and get ate like a starburst

Or played out like lees and an old pair of converse

This is a peep show, more like a creep show

Low blow to injure and it's more like a weak blow

Thought you could bumrush but you had to retreat though

(he's still saying "damn" to a rhyme you said a week ago)

I wax I'm bad, don't have to ask I'm glad

Girls give me more support than they get from a maxi pad

Play me, slay me, you got problems

You'll get hemmed up, just like bellbottoms

I kick a rhyme like a game of kick a can

Heads start flying just like peter pan

Skills undoubtful, rhymes unbeatable

Rough and tough, I'll handcuff and eat 'em too

Losses I take none, slaughter from day one

And when I'm through they'll be calling you dre's son

Let's have a clean one, dre's a mean one

Rhymes like dillengers, mind like machine guns

Get rid of rappers, I do it the easy way

Flip mc's like the a.s.p.c.a.

Andre the giant, here to get wicked

Lord finesse (what's up? ) yo kick it

[lord finesse]

I create and make funky rhymes for a hype tape

Brothers try to get with finesse but they lightweight

I preach and teach just like the man farrakhan

Get so much run on the mic, call this a marathon

Motherfuckers who dare try to get with me

I light that ass up yo just like a christmas tree

In a battle, you'd better pray for help

Straight up and down troop, don't even play yourself

Lord finesse in effect with the fly shit

I'm 19, crazy nice, I'm only 5'6"

Make mc's lay low as soon as I say so

Many try to hang, but that's okay though

I'm the man that works hars for his cash flow

Short for my age but I'll still bust that ass though

Mc's need to clean up they act with a handcloth

I get smooth like my man luther vandross

School any girl who dares try to step to me

I got porno stars wanting to take some lessons from me

It's like that y'all, and I rap more

I'm not the type of man to play the back door

I beat and spank and shank those who try and rank

On the mic I'm swift so give thanks

Or credit, I said it, don't forget it

I'm athletic, but don't sweat it

We can go toe to toe, you know if you're slow you blow

Rappers I slam, stomp, and overthrow

Cause I rip 'em, diss 'em, treat 'em like a victim

As soon as mike say "sick 'em"

I show and prove the groove that I represent

You think I'm good? I feel that I'm excellent

Yeah, you want to flow, I'm a show you how

Mike smooth, keep it flowing now

"yeah, keep it going now" -- expertly cut and scratched til fade
