| I was a fiend before I became a teen | |
| I melted microphones 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 an' tried to say, ‽Yes, y'all†| |
| They tried to take it an' 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 cravin', for I fiend for nicotine | |
| But I don't need a cigarette, know what I mean? | |
| I'm ragin', rippin' up the stage | |
| An' don't it sound amazin' 'cause every rhyme is made | |
| An' thought of 'cause it's sort of an addiction | |
| Magnetized by the mixin' | |
| Vocals, vocabulary, in verses, you're stuck in | |
| The mic is a drano, volcanoes eruptin' | |
| Rhymes overflowin', gradually growin' | |
| Everythin' is written in the cold, so it can coincide | |
| My thoughts to guide | |
| 48 tracks to slide | |
| The invincible microphone fiend, Rakim | |
| Spread the word 'cause he's in | |
| E F F E C T | |
| A smooth operator operatin' correctly | |
| But back to the problem, I gotta have it | |
| I ain't into solvin' it, silly rabbit | |
| The prescription is a hyper tune that's thorough when | |
| I fiend for a microphone like heroin | |
| Soon as the bass kicks, I need a fix | |
| So gimme a stage an' a mic an' a mix | |
| An' I'll put you in a mood or is it a state of | |
| Unawareness? Beware, it's the re-animator | |
| A menace to a microphone, the lethal weapon | |
| Or assassinator, if the people, they steppin' | |
| You see a part of me you never seen | |
| When I'm fiendin' for a microphone, I'm the microphone fiend | |
| After 12, I'm worse that a gremlin | |
| Feed me hip hop an' I start tremblin' | |
| The thrill of suspense is intense, you're horrified | |
| But this ain't the cinemas of 'Tales From The Darkside' | |
| By any means necessary, this is what had to be done | |
| Make way 'cause here I come | |
| DJ cuts material | |
| Called 'Imperial' | |
| It's a must that I bust any mic you're hand to me | |
| It's inherited, it's runs in the family | |
| See, 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've kept off | |
| You didn't keep the stage warm, so step off | |
| Ladies an' 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 hypochondriac 'cause the rap be | |
| One hell of a antidote, somethin' you can't smoke | |
| More than dope, you're tryin' 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 an' I'm the remainder | |
| So close your eyes an' hold your breath | |
| An' I'ma hit'cha wit the blow of death | |
| Before you go, you'll remember you seen | |
| The fiend for a microphone, I'm the microphone fiend | |
| The microphone fiend | |
| The microphone fiend | |
| I'm the microphone fiend | |
| I'm the microphone fiend |
