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 mixing 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 coincide 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
And I'm a hit'cha wit the blow of death
Before you go you'll remember you seen
The fiend of a microphone I'm the microphone fiend
The microphone fiend

The microphone fiend
