Keep Em on the Floor Lyrics by Big Daddy Kane

Keep Em on the Floor Lyrics

    1-2-3
    Give it to me

    Get on the dancefloor
    Start to clap your hands for
    The smooth operator, what more can your ask for
    The musical maestro
    That's usin the mic so
    I can spark up the entire place like nitro-
    Glycerine because the crowd is sizzlin
    Bobbin they heads to what's said and still listenin
    I specialize in fun
    And I must know what's happenin cos you're dancin like re-run
    So behold the natural born soul, a rhythm
    To get em and hit em as I party with em
    My job is to make you all feel this
    But i'm not don cornelius
    I'm just a new black cesar here to please ya, ease ya
    Movin and groovin, provin, soothin at your leisure
    I don't sing or yell
    But my rhymes reach out and touch more people than Ma Bell
    The brain of the Kane's so intelligent
    You think dancin is irrelevant
    And start stompin like a elephant
    But that's not necessary, just let the beat carry
    You into somethin funkadelic
    That might best describe
    The musical vibe you feel when I arrive
    From the moment I walk through the door
    I gotta keep em on the floor

    Get up and dance and move your body across the floor
    Go on and do your thing until you're feelin sore
    (I can't dance no more)
    Get on up and dance
    (Let's dance)
    Get on up and dance
    (Give it here)
    Get on up and dance
    (Funky)

    Look
    You came in the disco
    Thinkin it would be just low
    But i'ma make sure you enjoy this show
    You won't have a chance to sit down
    (Get down)
    And listen to rhymes that go the mile like a marathon
    A voice that's choice, as strong as sarah vaugh
    Swift delivery flowin like a river be
    Flowin, but only ladies know my tongue is that slippery
    I grab the mic and then we'll see
    Who can d-a-n-c-e
    Makin the crowd roar for more of what they saw
    And I'm sure that I can keep em on the floor

    {Chorus}

    Oh
    Feel like i'm down here by myself sometimes
    I'm ready to break this groove down
    You're ready

    So I'ma let the music just stop
    And we gon' get into our own thing for a minute here
    You're ready

    Break it down

    Keep on dancin
    (Keep on dancin)

    (Dance)

    Bring in paramedics to relieve the
    Trace of this bad case of dance fever
    Cos I can feel the disco heat gettin to me
    While the sweat got my silk drawers stickin to me
    But I can't stop, I gotta party
    Like a gun on the dancefloor and catch a body
    I might move real smooth
    Then again dance real silly
    Just like a hillbilly
    As i make sure the beat is kept
    So all the party people stay in step
    Become a slave to the rhythm
    Grab someone of the opposite sex and dance with em
    Put your partner on the floor and face em
    That shows a positive sign of unification
    And if all party goers could make this move
    We'd be one nation under a groove
    So let's try this, stop the violence
    That can only result in peace from what I sense
    To be straight to the point
    A little love and harmony - mh (it's the joint)
    So build a nation, pump the bass and
    The treble beyond the level of imagination
    So the Big Daddy Kane can endure
    And the name of this tune is Keep Em on the Floor

    (Everybody get up)
