I was a fiend before I became a teen I melted microphone instead of cones of ice cream Music orientated so when hip hop was originated Fitted like pieces of puzzles complicated 'Cause I grabbed the mic and try to say, yes y'all They tried to take it and say that I'm too small Cool 'cause I don't get upset I kick a hole in the speaker pull the plug then I jet
Back to the lab without a mic to grab So then I add all the rhymes I had One after the other one, then I make another one To dis the opposite then ask if the brother's done I get a craving like I fiend for nicotine But I don't need a cigarette, know what I mean? I'm raging, ripping up the stage and Don't it sound amazing 'Cause every rhyme is made and Thought of, 'cause it's sort of an addiction Magnetized by the mixin Vocals, vocabulary, your verses, just stuck in The mic is a Drano, volcanoes erupting Rhymes overflowing, gradually growing Everything is written in the cold So it can coin,cide~ My thoughts to guide, forty-eight tracks to slide The invincible, microphone fiend Rakim spread the word, 'cause I'm in E F F E C T, a smooth operator operating correctly
But back to the problem, I gotta habit You can't solve it, silly rabbit The prescription is a hyper tone that's thorough when I fiend for a microphone like ****** Soon as the bass kicks, I need a fix Give me a stage and a mic and a mix And I'll put you in a mood Or is it a state of unawareness? Beware, it's the reanamator A menace to a microphone, a lethal weapon An assasinator, if the people ain't stepping You see a part of me that you never seen When I'm fiending for a microphone, I'm the microphone fiend After twelve, I'm worse that a Gremlin Feed me Hip hop and I start trembling The thrill of suspense is intense, you're horrified But this ain't the cinemas of 'Tales From the Dark Side' By any means necessary, this is what has to be done Make way 'cause here I come, my DJ cuts material, grand imperial
It's a must that I bust any mic you're hand to me It's inherited, it's runs in the family I wrote the rhyme that broke the bull's back If that don't slow 'em up, I carry a full pack Now I don't want to have to let off, you should of kept off You didn't keep the stage warm, step off Ladies and Gentleman, you're about to see A past time hobby about to be Take it to the maximum, I can't relax see I'm hype as a hyperchrondriac 'cause the rap be one Hell of a antidote, something you can't smoke More than ****, you're trying to move away but you can't, you're broke More than cracked up, you should have backed up For those who act up need to be more than smacked up Any entertainer, I got a torture chamber One on one and I'm the remainder So close your eyes and hold your breath(breath) And I'm a hit'cha wit the blow of death(death) Before you go, you'll remember you seen The fiend of a microphone, I'm the microphone fiend
