| [00:20.51] | I was a fiend before I became a teen |
| [00:23.20] | I melted microphone instead of cones of ice cream |
| [00:25.70] | Music orientated so when hip hop was originated |
| [00:28.01] | Fitted like pieces of puzzles complicated |
| [00:29.78] | 'Cause I grabbed the mic and try to say' yes y'all |
| [00:32.39] | They tried to take it and say that I'm too small |
| [00:35.59] | Cool 'cause I don't get upset |
| [00:38.15] | I kick a hole in the speaker pull the plug then I jet |
| [00:41.52] | Back to the lab without a mic to grab |
| [00:44.08] | So then I add all the rhymes I had |
| [00:46.32] | One after the other one' then I make another one |
| [00:48.82] | To dis the opposite then ask if the brother's done |
| [00:51.26] | I get a craving like I fiend for nicotine |
| [00:54.07] | But I don't need a cigarette' know what I mean |
| [00:56.32] | I'm raging' ripping up the stage and |
| [00:58.31] | Don't it sound amazing |
| [00:59.37] | 'Cause every rhyme is made and |
| [01:01.93] | Thought of' 'cause it's sort of an addiction |
| [01:04.49] | Magnetized by the mixin |
| [01:06.17] | Vocals' vocabulary' your verses' just stuck in |
| [01:09.04] | The mic is a Drano' volcanoes erupting |
| [01:11.67] | Rhymes overflowing' gradually growing |
| [01:14.22] | Everything is written in the cold So it can coin'cide |
| [01:17.86] | My thoughts to guide' forty-eight tracks to slide |
| [01:22.07] | The invincible' microphone fiend Rakim |
| [01:24.57] | Spread the word' 'cause I'm in |
| [01:27.13] | E F F E C T' a smooth operator operating correctly |
| [01:31.50] | But back to the problem' I gotta habit |
| [01:34.69] | You can't solve it' silly rabbit |
| [01:36.47] | The prescription is a hyper tone that's thorough when |
| [01:39.98] | I fiend for a microphone like heroin |
| [01:41.49] | Soon as the bass kicks' I need a fix |
| [01:44.22] | Give me a stage and a mic and a mix |
| [01:47.22] | And I'll put you in a mood |
| [01:49.15] | Or is it a state of unawareness |
| [01:50.86] | Beware' it's the reanamator |
| [01:51.93] | A menace to a microphone' a lethal weapon |
| [01:55.06] | An assasinator' if the people ain't stepping |
| [01:57.55] | You see a part of me that you never seen |
| [02:00.05] | When I'm fiending for a microphone' I'm the microphone fiend |
| [02:03.66] | After twelve' I'm worse that a Gremlin |
| [02:05.79] | Feed me Hip hop and I start trembling |
| [02:08.03] | The thrill of suspense is intense' you're horrified |
| [02:10.41] | But this ain't the cinemas of 'Tales From the Dark Side' |
| [02:13.21] | By any means necessary' this is what has to be done |
| [02:15.84] | Make way 'cause here I come' my DJ cuts material' grand imperial |
| [02:19.14] | It's a must that I bust any mic you're hand to me |
| [02:26.33] | It's inherited' it's runs in the family |
| [02:28.45] | I wrote the rhyme that broke the bull's back |
| [02:31.19] | If that don't slow 'em up' I carry a full pack |
| [02:33.81] | Now I don't want to have to let off' you should of kept off |
| [02:37.00] | You didn't keep the stage warm' step off |

| [02:43.76] | Take it to the maximum' I can't relax see |
| [02:46.32] | I'm hype as a hyperchrondriac 'cause the rap be one |
| [02:49.39] | Hell of a antidote' something you can't smoke |
| [02:51.94] | More than dope' you're trying to move away but you can't' you're broke |
| [02:54.09] | More than cracked up' you should have backed up |
| [02:55.84] | For those who act up need to be more than smacked up |
| [02:58.71] | Any entertainer' I got a torture chamber |
| [03:00.40] | One on one and I'm the remainder |
| [03:03.62] | |
| [03:04.49] | So close your eyes and hold your breath(breath) |
