[finesse]
Yeah...just about now in the studio, i'm cooling out with scratchmaster
Rahiem, andre the giant, my dj mike smooth, shlomo on the engineering
Tip, my man dj premier from gangstarr...we're gonna kick this off
Something funky for this track, know what i'm saying?
Now when it comes to rhymes, i'll drop a swift one
('they'll be another rough rhyme after this one' - rakim)
I'm the rap senator, ake about ten of ya
The best mc on the southeast perimeter
Equipped to flip with the slip of a lip
So dance, hop, or skip or shake your hips
Cause i'll wax and tax, eat ya up like a kit kat
Don't even riff back, i ain't with that
Skillful sharp with the words of an index
Spark and glow mc's like windex
Swifter, faster, microphone master
Lord finesse writes rhymes by the chapter
Adapt to rap but i won't even break yet
So damn hype that i might blow your tape deck
Full grown, stoned to the bone
Write rhymes and poems just to get known
Superior sargeant, take your whole squadren
Toast mc's, eat em up with margin
Cause i'm smart like einstein, i say the fly lines
I get funky while you play the sidelines
Here to take care of you, never sound terrible
Ready equipped, cause i'm always available
To rag, snag, and rip the mic
Cause me and dre will get ya hyped
On top in rank and i plan to stay there
The funkiest poet out since shakespeare
Take note of this soloist, cause i'm a pro at this
Even make the crippled want to get up and go to this
Now mc's try to get rid of me
But, i won't fall in negativity
Cause i'm well respected, lord that's majestic
Rhymes are written by thoughts that's selected
Released in public, but not as a sub
