[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
[02:38.71]Ladies and Gentleman' you're about to see
[02:41.39]A past time hobby about to be
[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)
[03:06.62]And I'm a hit'cha wit the blow of death(death)
[03:09.04]Before you go' you'll remember you seen
[03:11.42]The fiend of a microphone' I'm the microphone fiend
[03:14.72]The microphone fiend
