lyrics

The Moving Platform

Chorus
Keep it moving
Keep it moving
Keep it smooth and
Keep it grooving (Repeat)

Verse One

Trying to block me out, the lyric express lane
‘Cause you drop dime with a rhyme for one street fame
Destiny calling, but you ain’t try to answer
Verbals permeating the conscience like cancer
Ex-Lax to relax you wack track knapsack
Wrote’em way back when we used to take slack
But now we on the ‘vator, escalator to the top
And you cutting rip mike cords, trying to make us drop
Real see real and the god regard manifest
Never made the claim to fame but name me best
Veterans don’t see impediment in the sediment
Ride the double steel circulars, steady pedaling
When we had enough of the obstruct, we rough up
Play the wolf on legions of swine as we huff, puff
Wonder why your concept lines be sagging
You tried the higher level but with too much baggage

Verse Two
Mic checked but not close in the inspection
Make way, da segue, for the infection
Your YouTube vid went viral, from Mecca to Cairo
Ego got you thinking you vital
I deconstruct the semiotics, antidote MC narcotic
Expose your innermost, revealing the thought lethargic
Shards poetic illogic, mannequin poses neurotic
1st round, you going down, ‘cause I been done got it
You a rap session ho, I’m a professional
Teacher on the rhyme and my rhythm be testing you
Mind frame recalibrate and ya’ll is reprobate
Real mikearoni, no phony Sony that innovates
Get this, I get paid for having fun
I’m behind the times, but you catch up with this one
Reapa on the mike, flow sweet like candy
Flights of fancy, so why you there standing?
